steadicams

Can anyone recommend a good site with examples of "created" stradicams and camera stabilizers? Thanks! Oh, and Barry, where's that guide man! I got my 70.00 bucks waiting!

There's also a good one in Dan Rahmel's Nuts and Bolts Filmmaking
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...f=sr_1_1/002-0570897-7654445?v=glance&s=books

And Dan Selakovich's Killer Camera Rigs You Can Build
http://www.dvcamerarigs.com/

Both books give you plans for other gear as well, and are both worth the money, IMHO
Good luck, and let us know if you improve on those

70? Well, I'll save you ten, because the introductory special is for $59.95!

The pre-order site is almost done, it'll be up very, very, very soon!

Jim, thank you very much, you are truly a great man. Barry, again and always, thanks. No pressure, and sorry if any was implied!

Re: steadicams

Please excuse my ignorance, but what or who exactly is babelfish? Oh and Jim, regardless of the comparison, isn't nice just to be called a great man?

hpvz... that would be an otter. And Disjecta is a horrible person for showing how much beauty is around his home at all times.

Re: steadicams

acoreasc, yep it's nice to be called a great man. I just don't think I've earned it yet. But I do appreciate the thought.
