Are these words not related? Well, everyone's got an opinion. Read the article I wrote; Click on the name of title: SteadIcam vs. SteadYcamA book version is also available to those who want a hard copy. |

Thanks a lot for doing this, it's been a really insightful read at work today.
I'm really really happy with my Glidecam X-10 arm, I keep hearing horror stories about arms, but this one is a pure dream. It's too bad this is my only experience with a stabilizer arm other than watching a pro use his 3A. When he is free in a month or so I might have him try it on and let me know what he thinks of it.
The real bottleneck to my setup is the Glidecam 2000 Pro I'm using, which I bought off Craigslist for $300. It has the horrible "unscrew-to-adjust" method of moving the plate, but a quick release took half of the pain away, as I only need to unscrew to adjust side-to-side tilt now.

Nice and interesting read, you must have put a lot of time into it Charles, do you have any Idea if there ever have been, or will be a steadicam workshop in Sweden somewhere? What would be the closest place to go if not Sweden? Björn |

Thanks Björn. It took some time but it is always worth the effort to my members. Hoffman in Göteborg usually announces workshop and I think they may have one starting soon. I'm not sure. See their website: http://www.hofmann.se/workshop/index.htm |

Thanks Charles! Man... I need to get a job but I guess that's the kind of money you need to put into one of these workshops. Have anyone went to one who can tell me what it was like? |

Thanks Charles! Man... I need to get a job but I guess that's the kind of money you need to put into one of these workshops. Have anyone went to one who can tell me what it was like? I went to a Glidecam one in Amsterdam, with Steadicam Elite Job has my instructor, who has worked with many steadicam and non-steadicam systems. See this thread for my review of the workshop, video clips and lots of pics: http://hbsboard.com/index.php/topic,2312.msg21399.html#msg21399 |

i've read this 2ce already and going for a third after i shoot this weekend's anime/cosplay convention...trying for flying pix to post...Steadicam vs Steadycam opened up some floodgates for me...it was a GREAT precursor for the Steadicam Operators' Handbook [highly recommended reading for ANYONE remotely interested in this noble (martial) art]...
