CK:
It was a hot day, didn't have to wear the rig all that long for any given shot thankfully. It continued into a walk-and-talk but only about 30 feet or so.

Just caught this show tonight. It's the second episode of Andy Barker PI. The show opened up with this golf shot, and I recognized it the moment it started. Solid, solid operating. I think I would be giggling too much to hold any usable frame, but perhaps that beast of a camera would pull rank and not let me budge!
Also saw Charles' work on the pilot of Raines, which made very interesting use of zooms within Steadicam shots. The subsequent episodes have taken a different approach, so the same technique is not present (only the second episode aired tonight, but it was discussed on the Steadicam Forum that they did not follow the look of the pilot for the rest of the season).
The zooming was a little disorienting at first. I found myself trying to keep up with what was happening with the frame, particularly when the zooms were buried in a pan, and when you come out of it you're at a different focal length. An interesting technique. It reminded me of some portions of Russian Ark, which I feel used some careful zooming very effectively.
Sorry for the rambling. Anyway, I think this next episode of Raines looks a bit more "default" and is rather heavy-handed with some of the editing, talking down to the audience. Gee, how far off topic can I steer myself?

Hi Alan!
Thanks for the kind words on "Andy Barker". I do feel obligated to point out that not all of the shots were mine in this and other episodes--I was off working on a movie for days here and there and was replaced by a variety of operators of, uh, varying capabilities...!
"Raines" was interesting-looking, huh...it was a real trip to have the DP work the zoom remotely on some of the more unplanned shots. Not all were successful but the ones that worked, really worked. As you noticed the subsequent episodes had a different visual feel by design.
