Steadicam ARCHER2, Руководство по эксплуатации

Страница: 12 / 36

The motorized stage is important for precise operating
Some situations where the motorized
stage really helps:
• Anytime you want to trim precisely and quickly,
whether trimming on the fly, in the middle of a shot,
or holding an opening frame perfectly still.
• In long mode (and sometimes in standard low
mode), it is often difficult or impossible for the
operator to reach the stage to manually adjust
the sled’s balance.
• While shooting from a vehicle, it can be awkward
or even dangerous to balance the Archer

without
the remote control.
For precise work, the Steadicam must be carefully
balanced or trimmed.
Before operators had a motorized stage, all balancing
had to be done before the shot and therefore the
Steadicam’s balance was fixed throughout the shot.
As well as that works, it was, as Garrett Brown has
often said, “a situation akin to that of an airplane pilot
landing his plane to adjust the flaps.”
With the Archer
2
s motorized stage, the operator can
continuously adjust the sled’s balance during the shot —
assuring the utmost precision for every moment.
When you push a button to change the Steadicam’s
balance, you maintain your posture, stance, and grip,
so even conventional, pre-shot balancing is quicker
and more accurate.
