Here I can give directly all clear! With a little practice (for the optimum setting I have a week is required, some may require only a few hours - the same does not apply to the handling, I always recommend the lead again with a Steadycam to train, how to train in football) can one very good tours and recordings conjure with this part, rankommt no other device to the in this price region (~ 100).
That is why I make it short and sweet, for all the play with the idea:
Buy yourself this Steadycam (or rather Steadicam, brand name and so)! At least if you are no professional cameramen is a Glidecam perhaps grasped a little too high and as I said for this price there is nothing better and with a little practice you get with this Steadycam nice shots back (I can not complain).
Merely setting the weights etc. took me hours and effort, because the principle is a bit different from the Glidecam. People with severe Cams (or heavy sets, if, for example still has a heavy lens or LED light on top of it, etc.) have made it perhaps not so difficult, but with a light and camera lens is pretty damn hard to adjust all. My tip:
Rod completely out, test Drop Time. Drop Time (ie camera in completely horizontal and then until it arrives time again in the vertical) should at 2 seconds in length at the end. Drop test time. Add With more than 2 seconds = weights, retract in less than 2 seconds = rod. At the end ausjustieren the camera in X & Y direction correctly, millimeter by millimeter (a lot of fun, you have this neat).
The only thing I really have to complain about:
The Shipping! Terrible. The unit was in stock. I have it ordered on a Wednesday and it arrived on Tuesday AFTER THE WEEK. In between were no holidays or something, no no. Only apparently can be happy time "make ships" when. Well.
