    My old instructor was around during the time of steadycam, before the creation of lightweight gimbals. Typically the days were long and you'd have to be in a good physical state in order to do it, as a steadycam rig is big, bulky, and heavy.
    The steadycam I fielded wrapped around the body and was an easy 30 or so pounds on its own. Combine that with a 25 to 30 pound camera, that weight adds up, especially when hours pass.

    in a semi related note to the Steadicam, the Smartgun props in the movie Aliens where basically a machine gun mounted on a steadicam harness and arm.

    The original SteadyCam had its pivot on the back, with an arm reaching around the front. Then they moved it to the front, but needed a gyro to assist.

    What’s your thoughts on Steadicam vs Movi Pro (or something similar)?

    • @CalvinFalk
      @CalvinFalk Před 2 měsíci

      They are two very different tools to stabilize the cameras. Gimbals have a limit to the size of camera package for instance. But can fit into smaller spaces and even act as a remote head on the dolly for an excellently smooth studio shot

    • @melbs2008
      @melbs2008 Před 2 měsíci

      They're pretty different in the way the shots look. Steadicam has a more natural flow to it whereas an electronic gimbal like the movi often isn't so organic looking.

    the cost of a steadicam without the camera is five thousand dollars

    Was Halloween (1978) the 1st movie or one of the first to use Steadicam, or it was other one of the first independent movies to use Steadicam and utilize it for the Michael Myers POV shots, or am I wrong.

      Don't know if this'll interest you, but for _Halloween_ John Carpenter and his DP Dean Cundey actually employed a Panaglide, which at the time was the novel version by Panavision of the Steadicam ( _Halloween_ was shot completely with Panavision equipment).
