Using Sugru moldable adhesive to modify Steadicam Flyer controls
13 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- Sugru can be applied to the side-to-side adjustment mechanism on a Steadicam Flyer to make the control easier to operate and provide tactile feedback about the adjustment direction.
- The Steadicam Flyer has hidden Allen screws underneath the stage that can reduce stiffness on side-to-side adjustments as an alternative to using Sugru.
- Sugru is a malleable putty-like material that hardens and can be removed without permanent damage if needed.
Depends on
- This modification is specific to the Steadicam Flyer model.
- The claim about improved torque sensitivity from Sugru is based on individual experience and is subjective.
- The location of the Allen screws is described as hidden under the stage, suggesting they may be difficult to locate.
