Great video man! I just got my Steadicam rig this year and watching videos like this is definitely helpful! Thanks for all the insight! Looking forward to more videos!

As a 1st I’ve worked with Steadicam Ops a lot before, figured maybe there’s more I can improve on! I usually give free reign to the Op after slimming the build and extra hands if necessary, but weighing down the opposite side of an Innovative Cart so it doesn’t tip over makes sense and good to keep in mind for the future! :) Great work, very clear and easy to understand, thanks so much!

That's one great video. That Battery block sucks. That vibrates a lot. Just noticed it yesterday on a shoot while going through Stairs. Put a piece of Wooden block or wedge underneath it. but don't forget to wrap it around with a gaffer's tape so it won't put scratches under the body. thanks again for the info.
