Build Your Own Steadicam

Posted by michael on from the also-useful-for-mugger-whacking dept.

John Jorsett writes "Always wanted to film one of those cool 'walking' sequences, where the camera stays rock-steady as you trudge along? Well, so did Johnny Chung Lee, except he didn't want to lay out major cash for a professional Steadicam rig, so he built his own for $14. He further claims you can do it in about 20 minutes if you know what you're doing. What more could a cheap, impatient Spielberg wannabe ask for?"

    YEAY! Now I can make an inane coment on Slashdot and get "5, Funny" because Slashmods have no life.

    Honestly. What in particular is funny about this post?

    Here's a suggestion: SLASHMODS need the "steady-cam" to be able to see their beers, obviously they've had too much.

    The maker has obviously not seen a real, 200k+ rig. Thats a 100 dollar rig at the most. False advertising
