2. Relaxing into the Vest
With traditional Steadicam
®
vests, when walking, you need to hold your pelvis level to

you can walk normally,
DOORZLQJ\RXUKLSMRLQWVWRULVHDQGIDOOUHODWLYHWRRQHDQRWKHU$V\RXJHWXVHGWR
relaxing your pelvis, you’ll feel the Exovest
®
working with your body.
With the rig held comfortably in front of
the centerline of your body, shift your
weight sideways onto one leg, bringing
the rig with you and remaining
entirely
upright. Now relax the stomach, back,
and leg muscles that are holding your
pelvis level so your unloaded knee bends
and your unloaded hip joint drops. You
will feel the pivot system shifting to
accommodate this. Shift your weight,
bringing the rig along, to the other leg,
letting the pelvis rotate naturally as the
other hip joint rises, again remaining
entirely upright. Repeat this until you feel
the pivot system working .
Now bring this freedom of movement into

even a slow jog. Get used to the feeling of
the vest moving with you. You will soon

be able to move more smoothly and with

will remain at a more constant height
relative to the ground.
Operating in a good missionary or Don

short move that you’d normally do with
your arms only, try broadening your
stance, and moving your body with the
rig instead. Face into the rig to keep it as
much on your centerline as possible.
Note: The small stopper block that restricts the rotation of the arm block to 180°

to fold back out of the way as you cross the rig in front of your body.
If you remove the stopper from a G-70x

arm, kick the aircraft-pin link forwards
instead of backwards to increase reach.
