- PRO arms can be mounted to back mount vests despite potential confusion about compatibility
- Tiffen arms should float approximately five degrees upward while PRO arms should float approximately five degrees downward when properly tuned
- Building knowledge through thorough research and hands-on practice with working operators provides more value than owning new equipment
- Formal steadicam workshops offer intensive training, multiple practice scenarios, and networking opportunities with operators worldwide
