Forget the Sagway - Hondas new Lazy-Stool

Maybe I could rig my Steadycam to it.

I love the line at the end of the video..
"personal mobility in harmony with humanity"

?!?!?!?

I want one though!
 
After seeing it in action at Cinegear, the Segway is really well suited for use with a Steadicam.

Easily one of the wildest Steadicam shots ever.

Full speed "step-off" (jump!) from the Handfree (modified Segway for Steadicam use - you steer with your legs) into a full speed sprint , right into a roundy-round arc, running, backwards (!!), with a dutch lock, and then one more push past into a dutch reversal with a switch and pull back.

On live TV.

At ESC.


As the video says, ridiculous.

I've seen that steadicam shot about 100 times since it was up in youtube, I can't stop thinking the balance and master control that he has to have to ride and control the steadicam. And to keep the image steady with all those zooms. :thumbsup: for the master.
 
Once again Honda astounds with a brilliant engineering solution to a question that nobody asked.

They'll have to beef up the production version considerably. Skinny video models don't stay skinny by letting a machine haul their asses around, instead of walking. The core market for this gizmo already outmasses it suspension capacity - because they don't like to walk around.

Ugh. Can't wait to see the fat-acceptance crowd jump on this one.

Steadicam on a Handsfree is deceptively easy (as long as you are proficient with Steadicam). However that video is taking it to a whole 'nother level.

This would be great for parties and a lot of fun to ride after a few drinks. Walking does look faster tho. I have used my Segway on several occasions as a beer delivery device.
 
I've only used a Segway once and it was REAL fun hahaha the first time you start it is really akward hahaha the first time I tried running it I nearly hit a wall hahaha, then it was really smooth and easy to control.

Now is time to get started on steadicam control....
 
Screw lazy stool.

I want HOVER SHOES!

Seriously, this guy did not actually solder wires directly to the battery, did he?
