No steady cam.. just my left arm. It was actually harder than I expected to stay balanced in the air - thus the jarring flapping movements and shaky video. Yeah I agree I should have taken a shot of the run before I went down. I was going to do 2 runs but they shut off the lights when I got to the bottom. I was thinking about it last night and next time I will make a handle that will allow me to hold the camera farther away from me. Get more of me and the surroundings in the picture.
