Steadicamを作るより撮影のほうが難しいです。

Has anyone ever noticed that there are so many of these diy steadicams that when they demo how well the steadicam is balanced, either in front of the camera or in front of a mirror, suddenly when you see the 'walking' test that shit isn't balanced and you see plenty of side to side motion or up and down movement?

Good design though.

can i buy one

@VideoRoom207 Sometimes the user doesn't know how to properly hold the gimbal/handle. If you hold it at a verticle angle...you get plenty of movement. Try holding at a 45° angle. And try to extend your arm when you walk or run instead of holding near your upper body.

I'm using a DSLR Canon T2i and Bower 14mm wide plus Azden Mic and release plate manfrotto 577.So my set up is a bit heavy but I've managed to get 90% perfect balance and fluid motion I won't cheat by using software.ruins image

@defnyung Just watched it, it does look great but I feel like it'll still suffer when doing running or fast walking shots so I'll have to use software. I really love the way the camera slightly wobbles when dollying/swaying side to side, something about that gives the shot a nice effect, I'm mainly worried about the jitter from walking from point to point. BTW what camera and lenses did you use? Great job.

@VideoRoom207 Call me old school but I'm against that IS software. In some cases, it degrades the quality of the video. Check out my 2011 Wedding Highlight Reel, I used my own diy steadicam in all the 'flying' shots'...absolutely no software help..just good old steadicam handheld work. Thanks and continued success!

[VideoRoom207]

@defnyung because every DIY steadycam i looked up still had a tiny bit of shaking, there's no way to completely avoid it. plus its easy to slap on stabilization onto a video, you just want to have something not impossible to work with beforehand

[defnyung]

@VideoRoom207 But why would you want to use software stabilization to fix something you can easily fix by working more on your DIY? I built my own diy steadicam with electrical tubing, I call it the 'Silver Flyer' check it out when you can. Thanks

[VideoRoom207]

@defnyung yeah but its way better than just holding it or even a fig rig, the movement is relatively tiny, and you can stabilize it even more with software

@defnyung Check mine out. It's the second frame I have built. and works perfect for my application. - MediaLocke
