Mounting a Segway for steadicam use in Europe

15 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • Building a custom hardmount for a Segway costs significantly less than purchasing a pre-made steadicam Segway setup.
  • A standard Segway can be modified with a hardmount to serve as a steadicam platform.

Depends on

  • The discussion does not specify which European retailers stock Segways or provide detailed hardmount construction guidance.
  • The patent and licensing considerations mentioned are unclear without additional context.
