Between Merlin and DIY Steadycam - SturdyCam Demo

[rneu0324]

skateboarding and POV drug intoxication scenes are the only thing that look good through a fish eye lens.

[AdamBruno522]

everything looks better with fisheye. plus using that lens makes it really hard to notice any kind of bounce.

[sturdyshots]

@AdamBruno522

Of course we know that...that's why we shot vids using medium lens (43mm) and telephotos (the only vendors in the world who do that)...please check them!

[MrFrankiegood1]

Which is the heaviest camcorder you tried on your stabilizer? I plan to buy soon a used Sony Z1 or a Canon A1...would it handle those camcorders?

[DaTux91]

Looking very nice indeed.

What's the price (range) gonna be?

[sturdyshots]

Hello,

it's supposed to be quite cheap...you can find prices on my website

[DaTux91]

@sturdyshots I'm mostly impressed with the way it copes with vertical jitter, something I noticed in other steadicams and I was planning on getting rid of. So great job on minimalizing that!

It's a quite reasonable price indeed, especially since it seems to outperform the more expensive Merlin. If you can keep it on that price, you should be able to sell loads. Does it support really light-weight cams as well? Say, less than 500 grams?

[sturdyshots]

I've put the horizontal shaft to make sure you also can balance really light camcorders: just put washers on it and a light camcorder becomes heavy (and steadier of course)...

yes for now it's a quite reasonable price...hope I'll keep it low!

[javieroigues]

does that work with a Canon 7D?

thanx

[sturdyshots]

Yes of course...it can works even with longer rigs

Thanks

[monkeychown]

nice showcase dude! I don't have your stabilizer but I found your tutorials great! Thanks for sharing that! Go ahead!

[sturdyshots]

All stabilizers work the same...more or less...most important thing is drop time of course

[mariuskeys]

0:22 is just crazy man! Go ahead!

[sturdyshots]

That's foam;)

[mariuskeys]

Can foam also absorb left-right movements? On your site it seems that the gray pillow is supposed to minimize vertical jitters...

[MrFrankiegood1]

does it work with a canon A1?

[peakytweaky12]

which camcorder used? I have a really light one. Do you think I can get those results? I plan to buy a stabilizer one day.

[sturdyshots]

well, as the system gets heavier your footages get steadier, but you may add weights on the horizontal shaft

[sturdyshots]

Of course you'll stress your back, so with a heavy cmacorder, hold the stabilizer next to your chest and use both your hands.

[Fredemot]

any pics of this device?

[sturdyshots]

just google it

[Fredemot]

any picture of the device itself?

[minisled]

Good job!

Do you close the camcorder LCD door on fast running to avoid left turn du to the wind?

[sturdyshots]

Hi!

no otherwise I should balance a bit...I just leave it opened.

[superboy982]

dude, i want it badly.

and by badly i mean really really badly.

haha.

please show us some pictures of it. im dying to see it.

Greetings from the netherlands

[sturdyshots]

Hi...thanks

just few days...and I'll explain the system...then I'll show you the device...

[jung8127]

Awesome...any pic of the stabilizer?

[sturdyshots]

Sorry just few more days;)

[82abejita]

Good job... I wouldn't care about wide angle...results are quite steady. Let me know when you're be able to sell...I'll think about it...

[Marcedanin]

Footage with wide angle are really good...without wide angle are good

[sturdyshots]

Hi

thanks...yes wide angle makes everything a little bit steadier...anyway I would never use a medium lens or a telephoto (even with a 10K $ steadycam)

see you

[TimHowland73]

Beware: half of the effect comes from using such an extreme wide angle. Wide angle hides small movements.

Have any "normal" angle footage to show us?

[sturdyshots]

Yes I do...cannot write here the link (duno' y)...check my other vids: there's one without fish-eye and one without wide angle at all (naked Hv30 43,6mm)...

enjoy!

Jaco

[Stubbsalex]

For much better than Manfrotto...Up!

[TheBaxter52]

Oh my God! best steadycam demo on youtube

[heyvirginian]

How can you stop smoothly at 0:25? Seems good!

[Fredemot]

[sturdyshots]

Between 150 and 200Euros+shipping.
