Why don all stabilizers use a harness and a mechanical arm?
The vest and arm adds to the overall weight, cost, complexity and spontaneity. It is hard to master, very expensive, and not needed with todays high quality lightweight cameras. With light weight cameras, the human arm does it easier and at less cost. The camera weight dose’nt go away, it all gets concentrated to your lower back. And when you add the weight of the vest and arm, it really can get quite tiring. We have a continous motion shot on tape that runs 9.5 minutes, which proves with todays high quality lightweight cameras, you don’t need the added problems of a mechanical arm.
