STJR with Panasonic NV GS 400
 

I bought two weeks ago my first steadicam, the STJR lite from Tiffen. Having read the instruction book, seen the video how to balance a camera from scratch, I´m still not sure whether I got it right. I chose hole 5, the medium weight platter and the heavy stopper. The camera is "naked" and about 830 grammes.

I know it´s a lot of training necessary, but... is there anybody out there with the same equipment who can confirm my basis settings?

Comments highly appreciated.

Very Best

...or similar weight cameras with STJR?
 

Since I could not get any balance with the "Battery-Weights" - is it right they are used maybe only in connection with the optional monitor? Anybody with an other 800 gramme camera on the STJR?

Thank You
