Eurovision steadicam Karsten Jacobsen

Steadicam segway

[papasandbeer]

That was VERY impressive. So many chances for error in that and considering it was a live show.... damn. haha.

[Muscleduck]

That's insane. You can barely see the jump from the Segway onto the podium.

[kjeldsted]

He is so amazing what it's almost unbelievable. No doubt the best Steady operator in Denmark and one of the best in the world. He has really done some amazing stuff in a lot of Danish productions.

[pyrobryan]

that segway dismount was so smooth. this guy has some camera skills.

[Voxjunction]

A fantastic shot, well executed. Good to know there are still people willing to bust a gut to make great television.

The other guy is the "focus-puller" (think it's how you spell it) - he does the focus on the camera... not an easy job! - they need to work so well together, and know where the other will be, and what he will do next! - or else, the picture will be all blurry!

[Dcumms]

the best shot i've ever seen! Wonderful idea! Big props to the camera op and the focus puller!

[Traktuner]

That's amazing. Thumbs up for the operator AND for the focuspuller. Excellent work. Would be cool to see more of those ...

[TV-FilmCameramanUK]

exactly why I became a cameraman... Top job the shot rocked!

[jordanscottprice]

It is incredibly dangerous and difficult running full speed with a Steadicam. They are very heavy, and they are strapped onto your torso via a vest. Running like this can easily jack up your back. Absolutely incredible work from this operator.

The AC (Focus Puller) has an equally tough job nailing focus like that. It is difficult on a film set; I can't image doing it for LIVE TV. Absolutely nuts. Wonderful work here.

[KillTheToy]

This shit. This shit right here is why I love Eurovision.

[OCDLibrarian]

who needs a jib anymore when you have this guy. he can get some great shots that's im sure a crane could have accomplished. But this is way better.

[TheMartingallego]

Excellent...that is the most amazing steadi shot that I`ve seen.Congratulations.

[htownmovies]

.. and the puller must completly run ^^
risky move for a live show ...

[JDMVideographing]

Fantastic Crew work, very impressive steadicam pilot there. Very Impressed!

[AnnihilatorXBOX]

That is the smoothest transition ever!

[Proctie]

He's my idol. The steadicam operator that is.

[bradwilmot]

WOW! My back screamed just WATCHING this Steadicam operator!

[xboonx]

faint.. no mATTER what.. the concept, the idea and the boldness to even try it out is crazy..

[jordanscottprice]

Oh, damn. I didn't even notice the glidecam operator rode in on the Segway and then JUMPED off onto the platform before he started walking backwards in circles.

Just perfection.
