The Steadicam® Operator's Handbook

Excellent buy!!!

Ottimo. È l’unico testo “ufficiale” riguardante la tecnica dello steadicam. Spiega tutto, con dovizia di particolari esempi ed esercizi. Per chi non ha familiarità con le attrezzature e il linguaggio cinematografico alcune parti risulteranno difficili da capire, ad esempio a volte si parla di focus puller, ottiche e reparto produzione. Un must per chi inizia a mettersi la steadicam addosso, una lettura interessante per chi non ne sa nulla e vuole informarsi al riguardo

Although this isn't really a 'textbook,' this was the assigned reading for a Steadicam class I took. Unlike most required books for classes, it was a very interesting read, and provided useful guidance for techniques as well as interesting anecdotes from actual Steadicam operators. Usually I end up selling books required for classes once the class is over, but this is one case where I did not, because I find it to be too valuable to let go of!I think this is a great book for every Steadicam Op to have in their collection, and maybe even people who are just interested in filmmaking and would like to know more about one of the popular tools used for smooth camera movement in both big and small budget films.

Es un libro muy didáctico y de fácil lectura, a pesar de estar en inglés. Una pena que no haya traducción al castellano para llegar a más gente.

This book is a goldmine of information for Steadicam operators. It covers everything from the basics to more advanced stuff, including some of the smaller steadicams like the Pilot and Merlin. Thoroughly recommended!
