Kyle Rogers Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Hi I'm looking into getting my first Steadicam but cant decide which one to get? I've been a Steadicam operator for a News station for about a year now and use the Steadicam Aero 30 every day and its good for the News but I would like to purchase one that's bigger and can handle a larger payload for myself. looking for any suggestions. And also any tips on flying a Steadicam that is corded with 3 different cables and dragging on the ground behind me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katerina Kallergis Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 I just bought an m2 with volt and love it. If a new rig out of your budget there are some used rigs for sale on here that will handle a heavier load that you'd be very happy with. I believe I saw a clipper and a pro for sale in the marketplace. As far as working tethered, why are there three cables being dragged behind you at a News station? Generally, even if an older station they'd run triax which should only mean one large cable and you'd add your own flexible jumper cable that would go from the camera to yourself then to the main cable. Same thing with SMPTE. Please tell me you have a utility running the cable(s) with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
