Sturdycam vs Blackbird
I need a budget steadicam for 5D. I have narrowed it down to: CMR Blackbird ($485) and Sturdycam ($220). Blackbird is well reviewed, and Sturdycam seems to be an unknown from Europe, can't find any reviews or comparisons. But the demos he has are _very_ impressive (steady shot while jumping on a trampoline!!) doesn't hurt that Sturdycam is 1/2 the price than Blackbird... :)
Some samples I saw of Sturdycam: Bumpy Road: YouTube - The SturdyCam - Bump Test Running: YouTube - The SturdyCam - Running Test More Videos: Sturdy Shots: Videos anyone used it? Merlin is elegant, but out of my price range....

I'm a Blackbird user, I'm very happy with my result, it's a great product, you won't go wrong with it.
However, if you are only mounting on 5D on the steadicam, I probably would go for Sturdycam, the footage on the webstie do look impressive. But if you consider having a light or monitor or even a wireless FF system on it later, go for BB. |
