John, interesting tape but very few details at B&H. Can you give us a better idea of what it covers and who it is aimed at?
also any thoughts on support devices like the DV caddie?

The principals behind the tape apply to all video cameras. It’s aimed at anyone who wants to improve hand held shots.

The most valuable points to a wedding videographer and handycams, would be camera balance, form, and alternative ways to hold the camera.

This goes without saying, but practice is also a factor.

As for the dv caddie....I have a varizoom vz-lsp. Again, you can’t walk without transferring shake, so it's only good for quick static shots in tight places.

I dont use the varizoom anymore because the Bogen 542 ART I use for weddings is incredibly fast/stable......as for tight spaces, that is simply your ability to direct people.
