  • how much they cost ?

  • @videotan00 It depends on the rig but a new steadicam is about $50,000; the day rate to hire a steadicam op w/ rig is usually $1200 - $1800/ per day rate.  This is the Master Series Elite which you can get used for approx $20,000.00.

  • This is the Master Series Elite which you can no longer buy but can get used for approx $20,000.00. The new Steadicams start at $50,000 USD.

  • and what about the Flycam for 1000 USD? I got it home and makes a lot of shots and a similar fraction of the price. So how come that is Betacam video? Today?? :))))

  • I've seen alot of photographers using steadicam to shoot video with there cameras.

  • POV? I like it

  • Great dialogue

  • Great video and thanks for the tips! Really valuable information for someone who is going to study film at a college in a couple of months (me).

  • @crewscontrolPodcast

    great video very informative... i operate a Pilot and fly a Sony Z1U.

    I have years of experience as an editor but have always wanted to pursue steadicam...

    what's an average day-rate for Smaller rigs? do you know anything about the SOA?

    Ultra2 series Tiffen Steadicam starts at 66,000.00

  • @crewscontrolPodcast Well... You might wanna suggest him to pass by tiffen website to check prices there and for him to find out what he might need for his gear. People are doing great stuff with the $4000 Steadicam Pilot... A basic pilot kit with vl mount, two batteries and steadistand and a useable monitor (the stock one is not bright enough...) can be had for $5950 from BHvideophoto.

  • Fantastic! thank you!
