ULTIMATE GUIDE TO THE STEADICAM

For over five decades now, one piece of equipment has revolutionized how films are shot — The Steadicam. It made the impossible possible when it comes to camera movement and in this video we're going to break down that history, explain how it works, and give you some tips on how to use it.

WHAT IS A STEADICAM

Developed by Garrett Brown in the mid-1970s, the Steadicam is a mobile camera stabilizer composed of three basic components: the vest, the arm, and the sled. The vest is worn by the camera operator, who attaches it to a mechanical arm that helps stabilize the sled on which the camera is mounted. Now, the operator can move in and around a space, up stairs, and in many ways previously impossible unless you opted for the shaky handheld approach. The sled is counterbalanced, allowing the camera to make small, smooth movements.

WHY USE A STEADICAM

When you want the benefits of stabilization (like a tripod or dolly) but also the freedom of handheld maneuvers, the Steadicam is one of the best options. Other stabilizers like gimbals provide a similar effect, but there are some limitations there. Steadicams are also great for long takes with intricate blocking and staging. And because they require no additional equipment, such as a crane or dolly track, a set can be captured in 360 degrees.

There have been numerous innovations since the Steadicam, and they all provide filmmakers with amazing opportunities for steady shots and magical cinematic moments.
