You can't give the DV Steadicam just 2 days to give it a fair analysis. The only problem with camera operators and the DV and JR Steadicams is that most of us want the damned thing to work right away! Cinema Products should inform folks right off the bat that practice is of the utmost importance! Practice and more practice! The glidecam ships without a monitor?!! What the hell is that? That's a waste of money! The Steadicam JR is great for any camera up to the VX-1000 and the DV Steadicam (or DVS) is perfect for the XL-1. Anyone who says otherwise is either ill-informed or not patient enough to realize that practice makes perfect. E-mail me if you have any responses.(posted 8955 days ago)Sincerely,
