Many years ago (almost seven years ago, January 1996) I drew up an idea for a Lego Steadicam rig. A few days ago, Derek Raycraft turned up another design for one. But both of these had the problem that they didn't have the articulated arm that makes the professional Steadicams what they are. (the two models so far are like the consumer JR model: The operator's arm is used for stabilization). Anyways, I think I've solved it. Here are two shots of a minifigure scale Steadicam rig with the arm. The screwdriver piece was the shortest stub I could find for the purpose--and some Steadicam ops have an antenna on their rig for remote video assist and focus anyways... http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/tsangc/Town/steadicam1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/tsangc/Town/steadicam2.jpg The third is something I was playing around with, a model of the new Ultra Cine Steadicam recently introduced: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/tsangc/Town/steadicam3.jpg http://www.steadicam.com/profilm_ultra_cine.htm Enjoy.

(...) I hope you posted about that design, because, somehow, it seems familiar...so long ago.... (...) Well modeled! later, James Mathis (22 years ago, 24-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
