Sturdy Cam by Sturdy Shots [Review] (General Nerdery Episode 9)

General Nerdery Episode 9 for 5/29/2011

In this episode I review the SturdyCam video stabilizer by Sturdy Shots Stabilization Systems.

Video samples begin at 5:44.

The web site for Sturdy Shots is http://www.sturdyshots.com

I'd like to apologize for a mistake I made in the beginning of the review when I said that the Sturdy Cam was Made by "Steady Shots" instead of Sturdy Shots. I didn't have time to go back and re-shoot.

hi there

is it easy to balance? I got a glidecam 3 months ago and no luck yet

@npn888

It took me about 25 min to get it right after initial assembly since ten I have left in a mostlt ready state. When storing the sturdycam I remove the side stabilizing bars and flip the bottom extension up. I can put it back together and be ready to shoot in about 5 min.

Hi!

We're working on quick releases for extensions so reassembly will be even faster! I hope it will be ready in some weeks!
