Steadicam
A Steadicam is a camera stabilization device that allows for smooth and steady shots while the camera operator is in motion. It consists of a harness worn by the operator, which supports the camera's weight, and a series of counterweights and gimbals that absorb any unwanted movements. This technology enables filmmakers to capture dynamic scenes without the shakiness often associated with handheld filming.
Invented by Garrett Brown in the 1970s, the Steadicam revolutionized the film industry by providing a new way to shoot moving shots. It has been used in numerous films and television shows, enhancing storytelling by allowing for fluid camera movements that follow characters and action seamlessly.
