Steadicam: Tips for Extra Stability
Here are three quick tips on how to stabilize and get smoother shots on your Steadicam. Step one is the easiest and quickest way. By just simply extending everything out, you create more inertia required to move the rig. This helps in windy conditions, whip pans or just simply walking. This is also very helpful in low mode. The second step utilizes Kenyon Gyros. I prefer the ones that have the built-in inverter. With a 1/4 20 thread it’s just easier to mount anywhere on the sled. Having the inverter built in makes for a much cleaner build. The third is having a grip hold a wind blocker. The one I use is made by Sunbounce. It is large enough to protect the entire sled from the wind. Useful...

Extreme Steadicam Low Mode shots with a $250 drop down kit
Просмотров 6187 месяцев назад
Video on how to get super low mode shots with your steadicam. Now in the past, you had to spend a lot of money on an extra long sled called a Super Post, but now with a drop down kit like this, you can get those shots for around $250 for the bracket. In my early days when I started steadicam in the late 1990s, there were not that many options to get these extreme low shots. For one, you could h...

Essential Steadicam Bracket
Просмотров 534Год назад
The angled D or J bracket is essential for Steadicam low mode. It lowers the overall height of the rig for lower angle shots. It also allows for more space between the arm and camera for extra clearance.

Cool moves
Wouldn’t this throw off dynamic balance? Or is dynamic balance not important if you need more Stability? What will enable you to get steady shots without something like a volt. Since theoretical extending those will make the gimbal at the top not be centered
@@The11thPower you still have to balance the sled so the gimbal will have to move down a little bit and still have a 3 to 5 second drop time. Dynamic balance is still important and easily achieved. You may have to adjust the full extension of either the monitor or the battery rack to still get dynamically balanced. Basically you still balance as normal, except with a fully extended sled, which creates more inertia required to move it overall.
@ the problem I have is, when I extend it, the gimbal yoke has to be far away from the base to give it a decent drop time that isn’t fast. Are you saying that extending the sled, and extending batter or monitor (or both) it will affect the gimbal balance? (Or allow me to still balance the gimbal and have it closer to the top?)
@@The11thPower the gimbal will still have to move away from the donkey box to get your 3 to 5 second drop time, but you will find that even though it is that far away from the top stage, you will still have a more stable rig less affected by wind for example
Hey Taj! Any advice on when during the spin test the rig starts to lean to one side (rather then front or back)? Thanks!
@@arnaldostudio does it lean and stay at that pitch or goes back and forth as it spins? Which gimbal do you have?
Epic! 🙌
Impressive Steadicam system.
so cool ! ! ! !
This is so awesome. I never went above 3 seconds. This helps a lot.
Now that's a balanced rig
Want to talk with u personally sir about steady cam
@@Thilak-vk7fq connect with me on instagram @tajtcam
Hi sir
if the camera weighs 700 grams and the other 1600, which one is easier to balance on a steadicam? I saw Chinese steadicams, they have a weight in the form of a circle attached to the bottom of the rod, it can also be changed in height, but the weight should be concentrated on the steadicam axis or on the front part of the lens and on the back of the camera body (I meant the bottom of the steadicam)?
@@ggdfggdfgdffgfddg34 I would always recommend adding any kind of additional weight on the same access and in line with the steadicam post. An extra weight maybe needed, especially for a camera that is only 700 grams, because at a certain point, it is just not physically possible to attain a 3 to 5 second drop time.
This is really great tip. Thank you
It's really great. I've been following you for a long time. I hope you'll release a long basic video tutorial for new users. Thank you.❤
Very useful video like always! Thanks Taj 🔥
Hello, I have a question regarding deciding what springs to use and xtune configuration. To start with, i have the chimera one, which is already 5.5Kg / monitor 1.5kg/ counter ballance 2.5kg / and at least 1 vmount for the volt under the sled 1kg / and 2 more for the camera each 1kg. the total weight before the adding the camera setup is already about 13Kg Adding the camera setup about 10kg shooting with the alexa 35 ( 3kg ) - adding focus motor / mattebox / transmitter - lenses Cooke s4i( between 1.5kg /2.7kg) Total is about 23kg let's say. In smartsystems arm X1 weight chart it shows upper ones both blue and lower ones both black ( this setup covers between 21kg and 27kg ) 4 blue springs reaches 21kg. My question is, with these weights technically this is the correct springs installed correct? and how do i decide the xtune on the 4 seperate springs with this setup? thank you in advance and sorry for the extremely long comment
That chart is a good starting point. However, I found that sometimes using different spring combinations based on load capabilities of each bone gives you a more iso feeling.
Thanks for the tips! Also QQ - Where is your film camera looking practice cage from as well as the level on the bottom of the monitor? Building out my AKS with nearly the same M2 sled build!
@@Vibrvncy hi the bubble level is custom-made from cinematicpercision.com Sal can make one for you and your specific monitor. The practice cage is a really old MK-V cage. Not sure if they still make it. Cheers Taj
Thats more than one step. - Nice haze though. =)
@@combostand hehe The one step is to focus on the gimbal, the other 20 steps fall more under the subheading lol
Hey Taj, great video! I'd love to see what kind of drills a new operator can run to get familiar with certain moves!
Tks ❤️
Awesome Video.
What company makes that drop down kit ? Cleans camera ?

Please make a video about Dynamic Balance Taj. Thank you for another awesome video as always 🎉
Thank you. the art of making good cinema is amaizing.
Great action. My nephew beaumont pritchard james is a steady cam operator in london. You two should link up.
That animation is great! What software did you use?

I appreciated the video but the animations were a bit distracting after the first one
What can I say, I am hooked on AI

Hi ! Great tutorial thank you ;) I was wondering where did you get your docking ring for the sled when low mode ? 3d printed ? Thanks again for all your tutorials great videos !!!!
Hi Yes this is 3D printed. SteadiPanda makes a great version of it.
Hello, my name is Hélio, I'm from Brazil. You could record content from scratch, explaining in practice how to balance the Steadicam. Congratulations on the videos.
Cool, thank you. By what is the second camera carried? Gimbal on a glidecam?
Wouldn't this type of arm with 4 bones require the springs of each section to be on opposite sides? As in, one section has a top spring, the other section has a bottom spring, and vice versa.
In my experience this has not been the case. I have been able to mix and match any spring to any bone section of the arm.

Where can I find the bracket for sale?

Hi. What sled this is?
I am reviewing this sled . I will do a video in about a month after a couple of issues have been resolved.
Great video
Thank you Taj, great videos! What's your stabiliser brand and model?
Thank you. Currently I fly a vest and arm from Smartsystem Gear in Italy and a Tiffen 3 stage m2 with Volt

Great video. How do you find the Smart System vest?
Thank you. The Smart System vest fits me perfectly and is very comfortable. You can do quick adjustments as well. I did add a 3D printed plate to the lower back support and some extra straps to hold the lower padding a bit better.
Really like your videos.Keep it going. I am planning to order in fiew days same Arm x1 and one Really good sled from italy from Maurizio)))
It's great and I hope you will have more instructional videos for everyone. Thank you for your very useful❤ videos❤❤❤
