Poor Man's Camera Stabilizer Example Usage - Squash

[joshuapaullnabo]

better practice using stabilizers



[joshuapaullnabo]

the camera's shaking a little bit huh?

[FrankensteinsTV]

For $37 you could have picked up a Cam Caddie Scorpion off Amazon and captured some cleaner movements. Still not bad but I've had some great success with Cam Caddie.

[MTpoolVision]

@FrankensteinsTV Thanks for the suggestion Frank, I checkd out Cam Caddie videos and Amazon and it looks very efficient especially for the price.

Was this a squash player or a person playing squash? I'd say the latter

[intrigid]

Can someone explain to me why the camerawork in this video is so shitty? I mean, if you're going to demonstrate a device that improves the stability of a camera, then at least put a bit of effort into using it.

@intrigid there was a woman, he was pretty distracted.

[fezmovies]

@intrigid I dunno, it looks pretty smooth to me. Only the video quality is bad, but that has to do with compressing.

[kimps07]

She isn't wearing any tits either!

[pizdiceanu]

i.ll squash her raw

[hotboyfriend55]

who needs a bra they make you develop breast cancer in later life. Do more research :D

[DethFromAbv]

OH FUCK SHE'S NOT WEARING A BRA!

[calmetosis]

@DethFromAbv Maybe underpants either

[honeybeever]

I made this design of steadicam. I have a demonstration video on my channel if you want to further get an idea what it's like.

[noidest04]

y does this look like crap? ur other footage was amazing.

[c0dehx]

This looks so much smoother than holding the camera normally.

It's obviously not trying to completely eliminate shakes, for that you'd need something along the ideas of recording a movie.

For less than $20 though? its great.

[Ballhandler17]

basically it is just the amount of shaking that is too much to be called smooth, and too little to be viewed as handheld *no tripod*...

[Ballhandler17]

it is really not that smooth. watch fullscreen. it isnt shaking as bad as a purely handheld camera would, but it is shaking.

[eat4peace]

no but compare it to normall cameras and its prety darn good

[sexyenrique]

Boobcam!!!!

[fixitfast74]

your girlfriend is very attractive. love this steadykam design.

[portalplayer]

i don't think that's his girlfriend.

[marcel911]

She's not very attractive either. Is he watching another video?

[coyotesong]

lol!!!

[ParaHelix]

Sorry if she is not votox injected for you mate but she is perfect the way she is.

[pheonixhunia]

she sucked a squash loving the smoothness tho

[reupbert]

Bach's Cello Suites, love them :)

[djarnexus]

I hav 1 question? what is the principle behind this invention?

I mean why is THAT DESIGN KEEPING the camera steady? tell me scientifically. xD

[tomp45]

It counter ballances the wait and spreads it out to where it wont swing or shake.

[GeckoOBac]

It's a little more complex than that... If you wanna go into specifics, it's because of the increased inertial momentum of the system. The long levers and the weight at the end make the system much more stable because you need a greater force to give it the same (angular) acceleration. This makes the shaking much less noticeable.

[tomp45]

I was being lazy.

[crazydeezy]

Yo just made your steady cam today. Works great! Took me less about an hour including buying parts.

[pianoplayerontheroof]

It'd probably be more comfortable if you stopped constantly rotating..

[mathew10000]

Do you even know the purpose of the video?

[pianoplayerontheroof]

Yes, I do! the purpose of a steadycam is to avoid the shaking and jerkiness that come with the use of a small hand-held camera with lots of movement. It therefore makes the footage more comfortable. All I'm saying is that, while the steadycam does a good job of smoothing out the footage, The constant rotation makes the footage _less_ comfortable to watch. If you disagree, that's fine with me. But just because I'm not flattering the video doesn't mean I don't understand it!

[skillphiliac]

Great job on not getting the point of steadycams.

[sosogood]

I just bought one, I'm really excited!

[oneminutetomidnight]

You, you are my hero.

My hero.
