Steadimate Operating
The Steadimate System is now capable of helping you create dynamic, endless, moving
shots all day long. It is truly a hybrid machine with its own unique strengths. And yet, you can
still quickly take advantage of handheld opportunities when needed and then go right back to
Steadimate mode with the Arm and Vest without losing a beat. Handoffs are even possible!
The balance of the Steadimate allows very light control input for tilt and panning moves. This
fingertip control allows increased accuracy and repeatability of shots. More importantly, you
can truly ‘fly’ the camera now, letting the inertia of the rig increase the spacial stabilization.
Before we explore Steadimate Operating,
remember that you’re still able to pick up the
motorized gimbal by hand for traditional
operating. No need to replace the original
hand grip or rebalance the Steadimate.
This allows you to decide the best mode
for
each and every shot with no setup changes.
When operating as Steadimate, stand up straight whenever possible and let the Arm and Vest do the work.
Your static posture should place most of your weight on one foot so you’re always ready to move in any
direction.
