What is a Steadicam
A Steadicam is a stabilizing camera mount 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
The Camera Operator
The camera operator can mount a camera on a dolly however this can be time consuming to set up and impractical in many situations. The camera operator can hold the camera in his hands but this causes undiserable motion or shake. A steadicam essentially combines the stab-ilized steady footage of a conventional tripod mount with the fluid motion of a dolly shot and the flexibility of hand-held camera work.The steadicam was introduced to the industry in 1976 by inventor and camera-man Garrett Brown
Steadicam
The Steadicam operator wears a harness which is att-ached to an iso-elastic arm This is connected by a gimbal to the Steadicam armature which has the camera mount-ed at one end and a counterbalance weight at the other. The battery pack and monitor is used to counter balance the Steadicam. The monitor isused instead of the video cameras viewfinder. The Steadicam sled is con-sidered the armature and the weight. When the armature is correctly adjusted, the Steadicam operator is able to remove his hands from the steadicam entirely and have the camera stay in place. By rotating the aramature vertically putting the camera at the bottom you operating the camera in "low mode".
