Building and testing a stereoscopic camera rig on a Steadicam mount
15 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- A custom-built stereoscopic nano rig was successfully mounted and tested on a Steadicam SK system.
- Socket block positioning on the vest can be mounted in front, though traditional practice places it on the opposite side.
- The same socket block position exists on Steadidrive systems positioned in front.
- A constructor without formal Steadicam operating experience was able to achieve functional results in field testing.
Depends on
- This was an initial test of the rig rather than production deployment.
- No professional Steadicam operator was present during the test shoot.
- Limited documentation of the technical details of the rig construction was shared.
- The discussion does not clarify whether front-mounted socket blocks represent a standard practice or an adaptation specific to this setup.
