This DIY shield cost me apx. 70p ($1) and makes a real difference to the sound quality when filming outdoors during windy conditions.

Simple, instant, effective, compact, low cost, easy to use steadicam DIY.

Interlacing is not evil. In fact, it's a brilliant solution to some really thorny technological problems. This segment explains exactly how interlacing works, why it's important, when you want to use it and how to get rid of it when you don't.

Garret Brown's original Steadicam® is an icon that revolutionized filmmaking. Being the first and the best, it naturally and justifiably commands a premium price. It is for this reason that homemade DIY Flying Camera Supports have been around since at least 1977, just one short year after Mr. Brown's invention.

With this tradition in mind, I present the two fundamental principles behind the steadycam and show you how to build your own Flying Camera Support.

I just started to film insects and i don't like the way tripods work.
On a tripod your camera describes a circle and "looks" from the inside out.
What i want is that the camera is rotating around the subject.
So i invented this arm.
I have never seen it before so i had to make it myself.
