It's something like learning how to dribble a basketball and then calling yourself a basketball player--there's a bit more to it than that!

Yes, agreed, check your drop time and make sure you are not neutral-to-top-heavy.

Don't worry about the offset of the viewfinder, as long as you make the side-to-side adjustment to rebalance for...

Well, unfortunately that is the trade-off of such a light camera--very low inertia. With practice, your fingers will "learn" the right amount of touch to reduce the tendency for the rig to roll...

Very good, this is all making sense to me. So I will leave the camera with them for the ingest (maybe even my HV20 instead). Since the spot is ultimately being posted in SD, I'm sure the step of...

The rigs that Casey links to are actually quite a smart setup to do boat-to-boat shooting (assuming handheld manueverability is necessary) for several reasons. Although the body-pod won't eliminate...

I don't think the motion is going to be a problem--my experience so far with HDV (the Canons) has been fine with stabilized footage. I haven't gotten them to break up yet.

Which camera to use as b-roll for F900?

I have an upcoming shoot with the F900 and we need to shoot some second camera material that will be intercut. I had suggested the XLH1 but the client has been told that the Z1 is more appropriate...

15 lbs is the nominal top camera payload for the Steadicam Flyer.

Might as well leave off your follow focus, it's not going to be of any use onboard a Steadicam.

Sounds great Jason.

Have you looked at capturing live into lesser compressed formats--DVCPROHD, ProRes etc.? Let us know how that goes.

Gotcha.

Is there any way to actually capture the 24p output of this camera without pulldown, anyway?
