this is clearly a grand theft auto created character

This will be very helpful to people who is interested in getting to know steadicam as there isn’t much videos like this on youtube. Good stuff. Thanks!

[Roger__Wilco]

I can't foresee any situation where I'll ever use one of these things but it was enjoyable and impressive just to see the complexity of it demonstrated. Glad that I randomly thought I'd look up how this works for some reason!

This is an outstanding tutorial! I especially enjoy the kitty wandering around in the background! Nice job!

[JTMDIA]

Can you shout me out in your next video, I have just started and only have 14 subs.

[topwaterfilms]

Nice job Red! So let me get this #1 Always look cool and #2 Twist and Slide (cuz she likes it) . Hehe! Loved the comedy bud! Again, great job on the video!

Just bought a small Steadicam for my Sony Camcorder at work and after watching this and your second video, I learned so much. Thanks for doing this. What stand do you use for assembling the rod?

[JonathanBradysouth-africa]

Holy never thought about just how much goes into properly weighing a fully rigged professional setup.
Thank you for doing this man. It gives so much scope to those interested in pursuing film as a fulltime job

Keep doing what you're doing!

GLIDECAM X-10 vs Thanos pro 2 which one is the best

[mbproductions]

Amazing explanation, it’s quite useful and informative. I support this channel!

[veemediaarts]

I don’t have a steadi cam as yet. But I’m definitely applying this knowledge for when I do. I have a mini steadicam but the goal is to get to your level. You’re my teacher man! Thank a lot! Very informative video.

Muy interesante, gracias por compartir tan valiosas instrucciones, un saludo desde Tenerife

[vintageretro]

amazing tech - too bad nobody is allowed to make a real film anymore, just utter nonsense of propaganda is all we are fed

[arifsonfilm]

That's very offensive, maybe those parts don't identify as male and female, there's a lot more than two gendera you know

[WillyBunao]

even though i have a small camera unlike yours, i learned something from you. find the balance point. thank you

[bakerskates]

Solid video man! Thank you for sharing. My workshop got pushed cause of everything going on and so it's nice to get reacquainted with the basics from another Operator. Hoping you keep the series going!

[xXMarlinXx]

I use a Flycam. where can I get such a tripod?

[henryssurfshowcase]

That looks like a massive job!
Great video thanks for sharing..

[techsavvydaddy]

Red, you obviously know your stuff, just curious, how long have you been a steadi-cam operator?

[wwjjss]

Red, I really enjoy your content. Very comprehensive and the pacing is perfect.
A really good benchmark for YouTube tutorials. (also: love your sense of humor!)

Keep up the great work
