Steadiseg Rickshaw motorized attachment for camera stabilization

13 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • A motorized rickshaw attachment for the Steadiseg uses existing hardware and converts between normal and rickshaw operation in under 5 minutes.
  • The operator can control speed and acceleration by shifting the rig forward or backward, while the grip handles steering and can override speed control at any time.
  • The grip can initiate and terminate moves, which the operator feels through the handle, allowing coordinated starts and stops.
  • The hard-mount block tilts during sudden acceleration or deceleration to compensate for movement forces.
  • Steering the rickshaw requires approximately 30 minutes of practice to master.
  • The attachment is useful for low-angle shots and shooting backwards at speed in confined spaces.
  • A grip can maintain control over direction and speed during the middle of a shot while the operator initiates movement.
  • The rickshaw version cannot be adapted as a bolt-on for the original handsfree transporter model due to hardware incompatibilities.

Depends on

  • Initial production units were prioritized for existing Steadiseg users.
  • The rickshaw uses most Steadiseg hardware plus additional attachments, limiting its application to Steadiseg-equipped systems.
  • Detailed specifications like motor horsepower and final pricing are referenced but not fully detailed in the thread.
  • No production images or footage were available at the time of posting, only iPhone videos.
