Steadicam
 

 

[Under Construction]

 

 

The Legacy

   Oscar-winning Steadicam has revolutionized film and video production techniques worldwide.  No other single piece of equipment, since the invention of the handheld camera, has ever added so much to the vocabulary of camera movement.  With innumerable features, documentaries, television programs and commercials to its credit, Steadicam has become an essential production tool - as useful as a tripod or dolly.

   Designed to provide total mobility, portability and versatility while recording extremely steady and smooth images, Steadicam permits an infinite variety of both moving and static shots - walking, running or at a standstill.

   Released from the constraints of dollies, tracks and heavy platforms, camera and operator are free to go anywhere without restrictions - recording shots previously considered impossible, capturing action scenes with a new sense of fluidity and realism - in sweeping continuous takes!

   In the studio and on location, Steadicam's enormous versatility allows the cameraman and director greater creative latitude while effectively reducing production costs.
