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.

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.
