Two published books on steadicam exist: one in Italian by David Ballerini titled Steadicam: Una Rivoluzione nel modo di fare cinema published by Edizioni Falsopiano, and one in English by Serena Ferrara titled Steadicam: Aesthetics and Techniques published by Focal Press.
Additional steadicam books were in development at the time of this discussion.
The EFP Training tape was considered a comprehensive resource for steadicam operation and was expected to become available on DVD format.
Instructional DVDs on steadicam techniques were anticipated but their release timeline was uncertain.

The discussion took place in 2005, so availability and publication status of mentioned works may have changed.
No detailed information was provided about the content, difficulty level, or specific focus of any of the books.
The timeline for instructional DVDs mentioned was vague and never confirmed.
