This system includes:-
A double articulated arm
A supportive vest
A specialized "sled" that holds the camera equipment
Adjustable camera base plate
This
system can handle up to 10kg of camera weight.
The arm consists of two segments called bones connected together with a pivoting hinge, two joint hinges, a vest connector, and a gimbal connector. It acts as an additional arm of the camera operator.
Each arm segment is a parallelogram with a spring-shock-absorbtion-system enclosed inside. Each arm is made up of two metal hollow cylindrical bars, fastened to two metal end-blocks. The lower bar in each arm segment is actually a hollow cylinder, with a large coiled spring inside. Just as with any parallelogram, the metal bars will remain parallel with each other no matter how the arm is positioned. Since the end blocks are secured to the ends of the parallel bars, they will remain in the same position as the arm swings up and down.
In practice, an unloaded arm has its bones in the highest position. It then deflects to a more or less level position (parallel to the ground) as the camera and sled combination is attached to the end of the arm. This position is known as the neutral position and is where the sled naturally wants to float. Additional force must be applied to boom the arm either up or down and to keep it from the neutral position. This arm requires the same amount of force to boom the arm along its entire range of motion and the arm will stay at any vertical position that you desire without any additional force.
You can see that the spring keeps the bone in its current shape. Without the spring, the bone would just flop down under its own weight. If a mass was attached to the end of the bone, the bone would deflect down and as it does the length of the diagonal increases. Since the spring is placed along this diagonal, it stretches and exerts a resisting force. The weight of the mass exactly equals the force of the spring because the bone has stopped deflecting.
Magic Vest
The padded support vest has three attachment points for its suspension system plus a wide lower 2 inch cushioned "belt" secured by velcro.
Vest has five buckles,whole body pod 2 inch cushioned and a standard arm connector. For added strength and durability arm connectors are made of aluminium.
Basically, once you've tightened all the straps, you shouldn't have to change anything (unless somebody else wears it)... just use the quick-release buckles to slip it on and off.

Smart, Comfortable, & Cushioned Vest Jacket
Detachable Arm & Vest
Magic Arm & Vest incorporates advanced engineering and precision machining,
making it the most sophisticated system in it's price range.

arm.
1. Sealed bearing provides rotational control over the camera so that the camera can be easily rotated on its axis.
2. Grip swavels left and right from the bolt. You can easily move whole steadicam up and down.
3. Angle bracket enables grip to move up and down.
Universal camera base plate with quick release
clamp
The Camera Base plate has both 1/4" and 3/8" mounting slots (holes) to accommodate all variety of camera bases. You can slide your camera with base plate on the steadicam on both the horizontal and vertical axes, achieved by means of thumbscrews and a movable camera base plate.
The Camera Base plate has both 1/4" and 3/8" mounting screws to accommodate all variety of camera bases.
This helps in setting the camera even more easily. The quick release system uses a lever operated clamp.
To mount the camera, you press the lever to lock open a cam-like lock. Now mount the camera to the plate with the help of screws provided. You then slide the plate into the clamp's front flanges and press it down in back to push down a pin that closes the cam to lock the plate into position.
You can slide a plate in only one end of the clamp and out the same (unidirectional). You can slide a long plate back and forth in the channel to adjust the camera-subject distance.
Gross balancing and composition adjustments can be achieved by sliding the plate within the jaws of the clamp with a movement range of up to 24mm.
Fine adjustment is made with
the lead screw; lead screw delivers 1.25mm of travel per full revolution.
The
base of the stabilizing system is made up of heavy aluminium that exerts
weights. Main function of these weights is to balance your camera on this
stablizer.
The idea of having a screen is to avoid eye contact with the camera - that would transfer 'shock' to the video/film.
The picture is transferred from the camera by means of an A/V cable (wiring is done from inside the post & there are slots in the post for this very purpose) to the monitor so that the person operating this system can walk or run without any shock to the system.
Adapter Plate

about filmmaking.
