Steadicam Flyer and Pilot beginner workshop availability in NYC area
18 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- A Flyer workshop can effectively teach Pilot owners the fundamentals, with some adjustment needed for the different vest and center post setup between the two rigs.
- Workshops can be arranged in a specific geographic area once sufficient local interest is demonstrated, typically requiring 6-9 participants.
- Both the Flyer and Pilot can be taught together in the same intensive workshop due to their similar weight class and overlapping payload capacity.
Depends on
- Discussion from 2008; current workshop availability and procedures may have changed.
- The advice about using Craig's List and film schools to gauge interest was not tested in the thread.
