Steadicam Operations

Steadicam and High Definition Camera At Moving image we believe the best way to control production costs is to eliminate the middle man so we own all of our equipment. This also makes our equipment more reliable since it's never rented and abused.

We maintain and care for our gear ourselves and we're constantly on the lookout for the latest product available to improve the look and production value of our work.

A tripod is certainly an irreplaceable piece of equipment but it only offers one perspective for the camera. We have always believed that adding different perspectives for the viewer makes any movie more interesting and enjoyable to watch. We use several pieces of specialty gear to accomplish this but our favorite is the Steadicam.

Invented and designed 30 years ago by Garrett Brown, the Steadicam has been used in thousands of Hollywood films and revolutionized the way we look at movies. The Steadicam separates the camera from the operator by its patented reticulating arm.

The movement of the camera is minimized producing a steady picture even if the operator is running. It is a necessity for shoots requiring a lot of camera movement such as music videos, events, commercials, corporate videos and movies to name a few.
