Any plans for the old school Steadicam "quick release" style vests?
« on: September 04, 2008, 12:19:38 AM »

Unless I'm completely blind (which, based on the week I'm having might not be far off the mark... Wink ),
does anyone know where I could find plans for the old 1980s Steadicam vests that had the
"emergency escape" style pull cord on the shoulder, that would pop open the rear of the
vest in case of an emergency?

None of the plans I have use that design and none of the lower cost current gen
off the rack models do either.

Thanks!

... but what I really want to do is direct.

No stabilizer completed yet. Sad

Lousy videos up for viewing. Wink

Thanks Charles. I have a few pics of the vest from the front, but any rear view pics would be good or high res front views as well. Most of the ones I have are small "web quality"... which speaks for itself. Smiley

Thanks again,
