Nice choreography! I know the mc of the event.

I did not use any stabilizers as i can't handle it more than 5 minutes. Its damn heavy. LOL. by the way,most of my shots are using 4ft sliders and monopod.

My mistake, should use the word "support". Hehe. I saw a shaky vid of akad from a local videographer. Very unprofessional.

One question though, all of your vids seemed to be dark, is that your style?

LOL. Shaky with styles,is a bit acceptable,but shaky without styles,is totally unacceptable. most of the video i've seen,from amateur photographer are using tripod,instead of monopod.
Some of the videos are originally dark,some are edited to dark.

The one that I saw surely no style one. Hehe.

So dark is your style lah? OK. I'm thinking of getting a separate LED lights to brighten up my subjects.

Ryan Connolly from FilmRiot advises to crank up the iso abit from normal before shooting.
It might not look good on screen but its easier to edit bright vid later than to brighten up a dark vid.

After some trials, I agree with Ryan.

Why would you buy that small stabilizers when you can buy Glidecam 2000? The price is almost the same.

Handling a stabilizer is indeed tiring eh. Need to catch up with subject's walking speed. Need to ask to slow down, which for me; beats the spontaneity already. But I dont regret getting the Hague MMC. Just need more practice.

I can only last roughly 5 hours before my hand gets weak.

5 hours? What type of recording? Wedding issit?

I normally stop recording every 10-15mins. But then again, I'm just doing sightseeing type of videos. Casual and free.

Video shoot at cosplay events, Controlling "effects" slowly take lots of muscle strength (even mine setup is light weighted).
Wedding (did 1 time only) / Dinner functions I don't use steadycam often using more on monopod.
Teambuilding can be a lot harder actually since I usually shoot 2 days straight full day.

20 sec max recording time (depends on situations)

Hi Guys, i am also new to videography and for the past few day been trying to DIY stablizer but no luck in getting it balance. Build it based on "Silver Flyer"

superb job

Oh its your vids that amduser posted before. Nice choreograph! Cosplayers sure a nice bunch to play with.

Understood what you meant by controlling effects. Its surely is tiring. Need to bend and lift alot.

Added on May 30, 2012, 12:12 pmJust wondering, have you tried a market stabilizers? It will take time to balance it for first timers.

Mine sharing the photos of your DIY stabilizer?
