Grip solutions for steadicam EFP post handles
15 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The bare EFP post grip surface tends to be slippery and benefits from added traction.
- Bicycle handlebar tape can be wrapped around the gimbal post as an inexpensive and quick grip solution.
- Textured rubber safety tread material designed for wet floors can be applied to the grip area.
- Tennis racket grip tape is another option for improving post grip.
- Cold weather gloves with rubber contact points can be used for improved grip in low temperatures.
- Gloves are a matter of personal preference rather than a strict requirement.
Depends on
- Discussion specifically concerns 1.5 inch posts.
- Specific product availability for wrap grips may have changed since 2011.
- Cold weather glove recommendations are specific to that working condition.
