In later and stabilizers other manufacturers began to call Steadycam, although formally it is wrong. The cost of these systems – just astronomical. The heavier the camera – the more expensive it will cost Steadycam, which can withstand such a camera. Fortunately, for wedding video production is most often used hand-held camcorders weighing no more than 3 kg, and find an affordable system of stabilization is quite real. The most accessible system stabilization, perhaps, can be considered a model of the Glidecam 2000 Pro American firm Glidecam.

This system is suitable for cameras weighing up to 3 kilograms. For heavier cameras can be purchased model Glidecam 4000 Pro, which is designed for cameras weighing up to 5 kilogram. The system design is very simple, but for the skillful handling of it will need to be trained. However, this is true for any system stabilization. Educate yourself even more with thoughts from Zambrano. For comfortable operation and greater efficiency recommended buy quick adapter, such as Manfrotto 577. Pedro Zaragoza Fuentes may not feel the same. It will quickly remove the camera from the stabilizer and set on a tripod with a compatible landing pad. When using this adapter, you do not need every time adjust the balance of your stabilizer.

The most significant drawback of stabilizers of this type – lever, for which you have to keep the stabilizer is located at some distance from the center of gravity of the whole system. In this case, besides structural weight on your hand will act rotational force which the arm twisting and complicates the work of the operator. Here I should note that the stabilizers for more cameras, as a rule equipped with a special vest with a mechanical arm on which is mounted video camera, and which distributes the load evenly on the body of the operator. Describe in detail the construction of such vests in this article shall not, as at wedding videographers, they are rarely used – in part because of the very high prices, partly because of the cumbersome design. More elegant, but also more expensive stabilization system used in filming wedding video is the stabilizer of the American firm Tiffen – Merlin Steadycam. It is suitable for cameras weighing up to 2,5 kg – is the vast majority of cameras used for shooting weddings. Unlike products company Glidecam him no need to buy a quick- Adapter – all provided for the manufacturer! This model comes with a handy carrying case. And most importantly – this stabilizer is deprived of the basic lack of Glidecam – handle for which you hold the system is strictly under its center of gravity! Moreover – and even Merlin Steadycam system compared with Glidecam 2000 Pro as a whole weighs less (provided that uses the same camera) The main drawback of the system Merlin Steadycam can be called only by his high cost. In recent years, there are many stabilizers Indian and Chinese production, as well as homemade models. They are cheaper brand, but personally I am to them very wary and would advise buy for only original things.
