Using a Steadicam rig with a Canon 1D Mark III for still photography with strobes
17 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- A professional still photographer used a Canon 1D Mark III camera shooting at 10 frames per second mounted on a Steadicam PRO rig to capture images with multiple strobes
Depends on
- The setup required a small Sony DV camera mounted below the main lens to provide monitoring capability for the Steadicam operator since the main camera had no integrated solution
- The technique involved firing strobes 450 times within a 45-second shooting window
- This was a specialized experimental approach and may not represent standard Steadicam videography practice
