Steadicam - The Secret of Cinematography

Many of you might want to know the differences between cinematography and journalistic style of shooting, I purposely compiled a video which comprises of all the steadicam shots. The steadicam makes a lot of differences in the cinematography. I do not need to tell you how special and stunning the output is. This video tells everything. See the difference, feel the difference.

Steadicam is one thing but maybe you should at least try and keep the thing level with the ground in one axis a little bit more than only 1% of the time - you have the frame rolling all around the World! Watching this is a little too much like being on a damn boat or some kind of Disney ride, I was nauseated.

@shamsham1983 Cheapest full rig is about $5000. They go up from there all the way to around 50K.

You can get a small handheld version of the Steadicam (the "Merlin") for under $1000.

@shamsham1983 That depends on how much you want to spend, but more importantly, what your camera (and optional extra equipment on it) weights: a heavier camera needs a tougher rig.

Don't be surprised that a good rig is beyond 5000 euro and higher...

How much is a steady cam cost?
