  • Steadicam + Canon 5D/7D queries?

    Posted by Anandabrata Ghosh on October 18, 2010 at 7:40 am

    Hi,

    I am shooting two docus where I will be using a canon 5d. It will have lot of handled shooting hence i was looking for an alternative like a – Steadicam Merlin.

    Are there any other options for smoothing out the handled footage?
    Does 5D on a steadicam cause loads of motion blur?
    I am looking for a cheap option so the rentals of it will not be so high.

    Thanks

    Regards,
    Anand

    Yes, the Merlin is often the stabilizer of choice for people shooting with DSLRs. I know a couple of people who use them and they seem to work fine with good results.
