Happened again in 2023. A dynamic balance issue with a Steadicam newbee. Your information pointed me in the right direction. Thank you for the physics lesson on how the weight is distributed in a moving object. Cheers!

This is one of the easiest to follow tutorials for dynamic balance. A lot of guides, including the Steadicam one, make this process seem a lot harder.

Seriously, you are a genius! Not too many people are great at explaining something complex in such a way, visual or not, for the mass to grasp the concept of what needs to be done. I love smart people that don't bull shit and really do help people out and tell them the correct information. Seriously, great job and well done for a ten minute video! You inched me closer to a perfectly balanced stedicam I just bought and can't wait to post classical performances shot in a new kind of way, and I want it done right with my new toy. You are a priceless help!

Reminds me of centroids and center of masses back in high school. These problems, mathematically are actually problems of torque. Believe it or not, what you are doing mechanically is finding the position of the center of mass such that everything is balanced in a 2-space mapping. 3-space (you would now include the side-to-side balance into the equation), ideally is what you want but that would be much more difficult and would require weighing everything and then finding the center of mass within the "sphere" and then calculating all the distances from the origin of the sphere using vectors to locate the CM points....goodness! This video definitely demonstrates a much more practical way that is good enough. Awesome!

steadivision That was an awesome link. Yes! I was right! It's torques. I recognize the equations. They mentioned the inverse square law and centrifugal force but they are actually sticking to the torques because they are working with the 2-space aspect like I mentioned and that is much easier to work with. That, is interesting. I see that they divided by the acceleration of gravity (g gets divided since the gravitational acceleration is the same everywhere) and obviously took the sine function argued at pi/2 which I guess they consider that everyone is probably working with the perpendicular to the moment arm (when dealing with momentum). I guess that makes sense since most people are probably mounting things close the "axle", that is, the point where the where the batteries and monitors are mounted away from the main pole. Interesting. Thanks so much for that pdf. It's really great that time was taken to publish that information. Best regards!

mary cigarettes Cameras are continually evolving, so check back before you buy! Also remember that full-frame cameras like the 5D are more exacting to focus since the sensor size is much bigger than in 35mm movie cameras. If you want to shoot on your own, and fairly rapidly, you might be better off with a smaller sensor size to give you some depth of field to play with.

How future proof would the Zephyr be for an aspiring Steadicam Operator? I feel like in many circumstances jobs would have to be declined due to the rather limited maximum payload. Also, which Steadicam Workshops do you mostly recommend for a beginner who has used a few systems but needs a lot of practice and extra knowledge? Thanks Chris!

You just need to buy the best you can, then save up for a bigger system. The Zephyr is a great rig. It flies anything up to Alexas. The best workshops are the Tiffen Steadicam ones, but I'm biased. I teach them :)
