In any event, I don't disagree with you that those steadicam juniors are pretty good value for money for filmmakers who want that fluidity, but for everyday shooting.. no way! Love the discussion about Josh Wolf by the way. I first met him when we set up Current.tv. To tell the truth the kids video is pretty shaky, but trust me, he was the last person I thought would stand up so long for at least what he believed was right. Jim

The DV steadicam products on the market are effective for motion dampening, but little more than shiny versions of what she's shown us. Every day news use? Probably not, but I think I may visit Home Depot tomorrow. (I don't do adsense, I do random product placement in comments) Lenslinger, So is that an antique tripod wooden, or an old pair of bolex or gitzo? I lost the tip of my right thumb to a bolex. You know the drill. Oh and on that standoff, who gets the money shot? The guy with stix and a 20x with the doubler in. Michael,

Lenslinger,

I'll stay out of the newspaper video debate (as nearly 18 years of electronic news gathering doesn't qualify me to to differ with the ink-stained auteurs), but I'll keep my tripod thank you, right along with my tightly-honed sense of when to leave it standing around by itself. Great discussion, though.

If you're gonna schlep that mess around with you, you are better off just buying a betacam. All the disadvantages of big gear with none of the advantages. Looks like the plumbing from my old house in Brooklyn! Oye. If you’re gonna schlep that mess around with you, you are better off just buying a betacam.

In the long run that's what count's..quality. That's what will win the day. If great storytelling can be achieved through the construct of fast and portable, then by all means. Fast and portable isn't a solution it's an option. Grayson, I couldn’t agree more. In the long run that’s what count’s..quality. That’s what will win the day.
