I was following you for years now. I remember finding you when you only had the two videos of the slowfox from let's dance. Back when I was about 16, I was dreaming of being a Steadicam operator. Now I'm 24 and becoming an engineer. But I still have a full CAD drawing of a self engineered Steadicam on some harddrive from that time. One day I might still build it. I have the upmost respect for you guys and I think if anyone would offer me a job as a Steadicam operator I'd still take it hahaha. But not without a lot of training first.

[@tomasantonsson]

Wow! Thank you for following me for so many years. 🙏🏼 Well, I learned a little CAD from RUclips and designed my own steadicam a couple of years ago so it’s an excellent combination of skills. 😊 Follow your dreams. ✨

He speaks 😱

[@tomasantonsson]

Hahhaha.. shut up James! 😂

[@GORICAN_EU]

It's easier to be a cameraman, but it's hard to operate a steadicam.😀😀

[@liliansofia]

I remember when I talk about this interview with you at Nep studios years ago 😄

[@bobthegreat297]

you swedish ops are so damn good

[@CapturingCornwall]

Fantastic to watch. What monitor are you using?

[@tomasantonsson]

Thanks for watching! I'm using a SmallHD Cine7 monitor.

[@CapturingCornwall]

@@tomasantonsson Also where did you get the tally system?

[@liliantikkanen]

1:17 What happen if he let it go? You had no answer to that in the video

[@tomasantonsson]

He could lose and drop everything to the floor. Not good.

[@Za_Vas]

How much does that entire rig weigh?

[@newforcemedia]

Often it weighs around 20 to 25kg. Depending on the setup; camera, battery, monitor and sometimes additional lighting

[@tomasantonsson]

Something like that, yes.
