Getting Started
If you’ve never flown a Steadicam before and can’t wait for a workshop, here’s how to get started. It’s
better if you have a trained Steadicam operator helping you.
Undocking the sled
Bend at the waist and insert
the arm post into the gimbal
handle.
Hold the rig and arm as
shown, then simultaneously
step in and stand up straight.
Do not lift, but let the arm take the weight (if the arm is grossly out of adjustment for the weight of the
rig, then you will have to lift up or push down on the arm).
Release the safety pin by pushing the button.
Step back from the stand and bring the rig by your side.
Use the reverse procedure to dock the rig.
Making the rig float next to you
Stand up straight and turn your hips slightly towards the rig.
Adjust the arm to float the camera in the middle of its range
(see page 28)
If the rig strongly moves away from you, readjust the arm
threads (see pages 29)
Try to keep the rig floating next to you – lean slightly away
from the direction the rig wants to go.
The left hand
• holds the rig as lightly as possible
• aims the camera – pans and tilts
• keeps the rig upright – prevents
unwanted pendular action
The right hand
• holds the arm
• fine-tunes the camera’s spatial position
• booms the sled up and down
• holds the lens height regardless of the
bounce in the arm
• places the camera laterally
