Stabilizing a telescoping mast carrying a 10kg camera payload against wind-induced wobble
17 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- Antler-style stabilizers work for balanced Steadicam setups but would increase wobbling on a hard-mounted pole due to increased wind surface area
Depends on
- The mast is pneumatic and compresses under load rather than resisting it rigidly
- Doorway clearance was noted as a practical concern for any extended structures
- No mathematical formula or design rule was established in the discussion
