    From what I've tested, I found that having different drop-time values for different situations help. For example if you are running through the woods, then a 1 sec drop time works great, versus a 3 second one used for a character gently moving through a scene.

    I thought I bought a trash stabilizer, but I followed the instructions and it works almost perfectly now after 10 minutes of practice. Thanks!

    This is the best tutorial on balancing I have watched, and I've gone through a few! This is clear, logical, and most importantly it has the right order of doing things! Almost everyone, including my manual, starts off with the camera/plate adjustments on top, but it is only by starting with the weights apart, minimum weight, fully telescoped-out drop test and going from there was I finally able to get it! I still have some micro adjustments, but it at least looks like it is supposed to now, instead of the twirly baton I had earlier! Thank you so much for the thought and detail.

  • @OneGuitarist
    @OneGuitarist Před 4 lety +3

    Excellent video! I just got a Sutefoto glidecam for my Fuji XT2 for b-roll, music videos and other things, and from all the videos I've seen, yours is by far the most helpful and best-made. It took me maybe five minutes to get mine set up perfect after watching this. I actually just forwarded this video to a few friends as well. Great video, man! Rock on! \m/

  • @lightbox617
    @lightbox617 Před 8 lety +46

    Got a Neewar steadicam for less than $120. It looks like a molecule by molecule knock off of a Glidecam. I'm working on the relatively steep learning curve of never having done video before (I have a couple of Canon 70d's). I "get" this video and it's very helpfull but wonder why all of these guys who do them have like 18 inch bicepts

    • @santoshkiran1448
      @santoshkiran1448 Před 8 lety +14

      Because of carrying the steady cam for a long time. Either that happens or you build up your muscles beforehand.

    Thanks buddy, ur tutorial was spot on, watched a previous tutorial before hand, which wasn't bad but he was saying add all the weight all the time as he has been using these for about 2 years so he said its advisable to,smhI did, but my stabiliser was never stable,until I watched ur video re adjusted the weights and got the eureka moment, thanks a lot mate.

  • @kevink2207
    @kevink2207 Před 6 lety +1
