Premium Members Mikko Wilson Posted June 12, 2005 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Didin't someone say that they Flew from a Segway at a get-together fairly recently? was that NAB related maybe? ..or the Tiffen gathering.. ANYWAY, someone has reportedly done it.. Considering how the Segway works by moving when you lean (hmm.. just like a Steadi) I'd thank that it might even work spectacualrly well if you coudl get the segway to move at the same rate as the rig when you lean! ..Though i'm not sure, because there 2 opposing ballance systems at work there.. And I quote: "[steadicam is not good for:] Things that regularly crash..." Interesting stuff. - Mikko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Imran Naqvi Posted June 12, 2005 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Oh I don't know. Throwing the sled away from your body should have the same effect as leaning forward. Maybe it's all about using the sled position relative to your body to steer....

Premium Members Jason Torbitt Posted June 12, 2005 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Have you seen the video of Garrett Brown riding a bike with the Steadicam on? You can see a clip of it in the documentary on his website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry and Saade got really, really good at it over the 2 days. I didn't go above the 1st gear or level, they rode on the 2nd gear and we all rode without a rig on the 3rd and highest gear. You could dock and mount up right on the HandsFree. The C-stand had to be way up high though. The leaning thing wasn't that bad, going backwards got a little hairy sometimes. Only when you turn though. I have more pics I'll post later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
