Premium Members Stephen Murphy Posted February 11, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 You'll need more than one low mode bracket to cover the multitude of cameras you're likely to encounter. Try Jerry Hill's website:his brackets are excellent. www.steadimoves.com For video you'll need a sushi table or other custom bracket; brant fagan, mk-v, optex all make some form of video lowmode bracket. On the other hand, if its a low-mode cage you're looking for the best place to try would be this forum, the soa classifieds or derrick whitehouse's site: www.whitehouseav.com.

Premium Members Michael Stumpf Posted February 27, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 Really no reason to buy a low mode bracket for each camera. EVERY rental house carries them for each camera, just be sure it's included in the rental package along with the Steadicam mags, the clip on mattebox, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the first things I tell production... to make sure it comes with a LMB! If they tell me the rental house doesn't have one to rent (this usually happens when it's a lower budget show and they are getting a deal on the camera) Then I tell them that I'll look for one and the production company can rent it from one of you guys. They will pay for the rental OR they will have to rent a package that includes a low mode bracket OR they just won't get low mode. If they really want/need it they will find the money to get the shot. ...and if it's video or hi-def, you don't need a low mode bracket at all. The image can be flipped in post! I did this on the last two hi-def jobs I worked on. A movie and just last weekend on a commercial. (One of the nice things about working with video/hi-def) Those cameras are still, waaaay to long though. Try doing FAST multiple 360 degree moves around dancers in a cramped burger joint with one of those beasts. Oops, hit the coat hanger that's attached to the booth. Ooops, just clocked one of the dancers... that's going to leave a mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
