Re: Digital Aaton at IBC

Re: Steadicam/Glidecam for the 5DmkII?
The resale consideration was more about buying Steadicam brand vs the eBay Chinese/Indian/Plutonian (!) versions. You are fine within the Steadicam brand for resale.
You really don't want to be...

Re: Glidecam HD-4000 on Smooth Shooter: I did it!
Glad the math works out to prove what I learned empirically, which is that shorter posts give better results. One of the things that is tough about Steadicam is that each of the three axis has...

One of the tough things about deciding on a small stabilizer is how much capacity one needs vs what one can afford. Consider that one will likely own the rig through a couple of generations...

For all the years I spent on set as those big heavy finders that took the primes were the standard, I always felt there was a better way. Watching the director or DP line up a...

Re: Lytro images to get your teeth into.....

I had one on pre-order, got it this spring. Tried it out for a day or two and sent it back.

Re: Glidecam HD-4000 on Smooth Shooter: I did it!
That is correct. It's a function of a slightly bottom-heavy rig, creating a pendulum effect. One might suggest: why not make it perfectly balanced at the gimbal to avoid this, i.e. an infinite drop...
