The Steadicam is a camera stabilization device that, in the hands of
a skilled operator, combines the image steadiness of a dolly with the
freedom of movement of a hand-held shot.
PHILOSOPHY
Steadicam sequences once only seen on big production movies like,
Casino, Goodfellas and The Shining are now being used more and more in
television production.
One of the main drivers for this increase in steadicam use, especially
in sport, in TV, was the development of reliable radio video links.
Football, rugby matches, athletics, ER, Coronation Street, Emmerdale
even News and current affairs now all make great use of the steadicam.
The ability to give moving pictures a third dimension with depth and flow is something we love doing.
