Weight Cage/Practice/Techniques

[Edward N. Gutierrez]

Just purchased my first steadicam rig (zephyr) and am in the market for a weighted practice cage (like one pictured below). If anyone knows where I would be able to get my hands on one it’d be greatly appreciated. 
also if you guys can tell me basic practices you do daily to better your technique thatd also be amazing as well. 
 

thank you

Hi Edward! I believe Janice Arthur makes and sells practice cages.

If you don't have The Steadicam Operators Handbook by Jerry Holway and Laurie Hayball, pick up a copy, it has so much info to get started! I'm in Hollywood, hit me up if you'd like to do a practice session.
