The highly technical skill of operating a Steadicam requires a team of trained professionals and specialized gear, and the mechanism yields dynamic scenes with movie-quality footage that the public see in their favorite movies and tv shows.

Created in the mid-70s by Garrett Brown, the Steadicam is a gimbal and spring system that stabilizes high-end cinema cameras for moving shots. The rig is used on sets for movies, television shows, commercials, and documentaries — although not often seen with local productions.
