How can I make a homemade Mini Stedicamgreenspun.com : LUSENET : Shooting DV Films : One Thread |
I'm sure this question might have been asked before, I apologize for not taking the time to look through all the questions, forgive me. So the question is does anybody know where I can go to get a schematic for the Mini Steadicam, not the steadicam Jr. I'm talking about the Mini Steadicam with the balance arm and vest. Anyone, anyone? Buller? Anyone?I thank you in advance.

hey bud, as far as a heavier camera like the xl1s or dv500 im not sure , but for a smaller handheld or even up to a Panasonic 24p look at this web site http://www.student.virginia.edu/~fms-uva/steadycam/ I made one and it actually works suprisingly well.

Yes, actually I've made a few. Each version being better & lighter than the previous. The're not easy to make at all, but after a lot of trial and error my latest model works great. I will put together some photos & instructions for it first chance I get. But like I said: They're not easy to make.
