As videographers our sole purpose is to find a way to mount our video camera so that it is stable, enhances the composition, force perspective, fluid motion and provide smooth pan and angle movements. One of first pieces of essential camera equipment was the video camera tripod.
The Steadicam was introduced to the industry in 1976 by inventor and camera man Garrett Brown. This began a new era allowing the video camera to move freely from subject to another. While the video camera tripod is still essential in video production the camera stabilizer has changed everything. The video camera stabilizer operator wears a harness which is attached to an iso-elastic arm. This is connected by a gimabal to a armature which has the camera mounted at one end and a counterbalance weight at the other.
Steadicam introduced the Steadicam Flyer followed by the Steadicam pilot and the Steadicam Merlin. Glidecam has introduced video camera stabilizers, the Glidecam Pro series and the new HD Glidecam Series.The professional operator has many camera stabilizer (Glidecam Gold Series, Steadicam flyer) in the heavier class to choose from as well.

| Video camera tripods like the ones from Sachtler, Vinten, have three legs, but the legs are split into two tubes. Thus, six tubes attach to the tripod head, not three. This helps countact-act the torque that can oc-cur, making these tripods a more solid support for serious video-graphers and photographers. The problem is, these video tripods are generally more expensive than the conventional three-legged variety. Your video camera tripod will need to be able to take a lot of abuse. Buy the best you can afford. Most video tripods can reach a useful height, but it is also important to check how low it can go. |

What is a Steadicam
 Have you ever wondered how Hollywood filmmakers achieve perfectly steady shots during scenes when the camera is on the move? I used to too until I found out about Steadicams. You’re probably asking yourself, “What is a Steadicam?” Simply put, a Steadicam® is a stabilizing device for the video camera that is worn on the body.
Several different manufacturers create these products, and Steadicam® is actually a trademarked brand name of the Tiffen Company. Before the advent of the Stedicam in 1976, directors had to revert to a dolly, which is a wheeled machine that keeps the camera still, or rely on the steady hand of the camera operator. But thanks to camera stabilizer technology, filmmakers can achieve dramatic moving shots with ease. more Information
A Steadicam is a video camera stabilizer meant for a motion picture camera or  video camera, which mechanically isolates the operator's movement from the camera, allowing a very smooth shot. A Steadicam effectively combines the stabilized steady footage of a conventional tripod mount with the fluid motion of a dolly shot and the flexibility of hand-held camera work. While smoothly following the operator's broad movements, the steadicam's armature absorbs any jerks, bumps, and shakes. more information |
