I have the book on order as well and cued up for the week long SOA Steadicam course in May. I feel really fortunate being able to pour over the book before the course starts.

Great, great, great book. Widely varied material - from great for beginner to great for intermediate. I'm not advanced, so I can't well speak to the high end. But, wow.

Speaking on behalf of the high end (!), it's a great book no matter where you are coming from. Lots of tasty tidbits for all (not counting the many pix of yours truly, some downright historic/prehistoric)!

I can probably play matchup with various rigs I've owned over the years and the accompanying facial hair--Model 1=beard, Model 3=goatee, PRO=clean shaven, current hybrid=jazz patch...! Now that I'm contemplating a change in rigs, might be time for a new look, any suggestions? Joaquim Phoenix/mountain man? Shaved head? 70's moustache?

has to be the 70's moustache, can you imagine that in the Steadicam Operators Handbook edition 2.

Hollywood... in blond. Now that's two votes for a Hollywood.
