Hello everyone,

Which steadicam stabilizer you are using for running shots or weddings etc.?

That should be easy to balance and of good quality.

What you think about Flycam stabilizer?

Flycam 5000

Or nano flycam dslr
http://www.flycamdslr.com/hdvs/new-flycam-dslr-nano-handheld-steadycam-with-complimentary-quick-release-adapter-plate.html

Which one is best from these two?

Thanks :bowing:

Welcome to the forum.

I'm too old for running shots :-)

Built a stabilizer from pipe fittings a few years ago and it worked out rather well.

There are lots of plans online for these things nowdays.

Welcome to the forum moviemaker, I have very limited experience of movie making but the two very similar products seem to differ in size, I guess that is the crux. The larger one is illustrated with a dedicated high quality (heavy?) video camera, the smaller version is fitted with a (lighter?) DSLR presumably with video capability.

I guess the larger version would be preferred if you plan to use say a D4 with a longish lens, but if you are using a lighter body with a shorter lens then I guess the smaller product may be sufficient.

Graham may have some words of wisdom on this if he sees this thread?

At the end of the day it's all about controlling inertia.

Welcome to the forum.

I only take stills rather than movies so I guess my experience is less useful for you.
I dont use any stabilizer mechanisms, except a tripod, for my photos as I find that the extra bulk leads to more unsteadiness than advantage.
