most of what i'd shoot on a steady came would be at 14mm anyways, it's not like the DOF is really that tight anyways. i have the GH1/H4n combo, most of the time i just plug a cheap azden short shotgun to the GH1 and don't even use the H4n, but that's just laziness. good video though, i've been putting off building a steady cam, after watching this i think i'll get back on that, thanks for posting!

Try this: Varizoom VZ-EFCU

Only wired focus control I know of. A really good buy, only like $675. Works for any lense up to 20 feet away. You should really check this out. Works wonders for steady cam and jib operation.

mmmm, Zoom H4n !

Autofocus, I wish I had a follow focus with remote control < maybe next DIY toy ;)
