Operating a Canon 5D camera on a Steadicam Ultra2 rig with front-to-back antlers in tight spaces
16 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The Canon 5D was mounted on a Steadicam Ultra2 with antlers positioned front to back.
- Antlers arranged front to back increase both weight and inertial pan effect on the sled.
- The sled had to be heavily loaded to properly balance and stabilize the relatively lightweight Canon 5D camera.
Depends on
- No detailed specifications provided about sled configuration, weights, or technical setup parameters.
- Discussion does not explain why the sled required such significant loading or what the resulting balance characteristics were.
- The claim about inertial pan improvement through weight distribution was stated without detailed explanation.
