The final scenes of Rocky show a Steadicam35 in master shots, which was the first production Steadicam model.
The Steadicam35 featured an Arri 2C camera with its motor mounted at the bottom of the sled and a monitor positioned at the top near the camera.
Modern Steadicam technology is trending toward lighter rigs similar to earlier running-style designs rather than the heavier multi-pound sled configurations.

The discussion focuses on film analysis rather than operational testing of the equipment.
No specific technical specifications or performance details about the Steadicam35 were provided beyond its basic configuration.
The comparison to lighter modern rigs is presented as an observation about industry trends rather than documented fact.
