Stabilizers Part Three - GLIDE GEAR, Steadicam®, Tricks and Tips - BFM Ep. 82

Stabilizers Part Three. GLIDE GEAR Pro System, What a Steadicam® is, and all the Tricks and Tips to using one. We cover theory, parts, building it, balancing it, shooting with it, drills, do's and don'ts...LONG EPISODE FILLED WITH INFO! See the show notes below for tons of information.

NOTE: I was having problems with my wrist and back before I made this, and was using a "trick" for that. Normal use is the arm is mounted on the left, and it comes across you to a 45 degree on the right, or visa versa.
