Preise und Spezifikationen der frühen Steadicam Modelle aus den 1970er und 1980er Jahren
18 Jahre alt. Geräte und Preise können sich seitdem geändert haben.
Was die Diskussion ergab
- Das ursprüngliche Steadicam-Modell von 1976-77 hatte einen anfänglichen Verkaufspreis von etwa fünfzehntausend US-Dollar.
- Das Modell 2 hatte einen Preis von rund siebzehntausendfünfhundert US-Dollar.
- Das Modell 3 stellte einen deutlichen Preisanstieg auf rund 36 Tausend US-Dollar dar.
- The model 3A was priced at approximately forty thousand US dollars.
- Early Steadicam arms featured fixed weight designs that were not adjustable, which limited the range of compatible camera weights.
- The original arm design used a single hinge mechanism, which was later replaced with a double hinge configuration in upgraded versions.
- An arm could be upgraded to model 3A specifications by replacing the original trunnions and hinge assembly.
- A model 2 sled unit remained in usable condition with a functional gimbal despite lack of batteries.
