As if Steadicam isn’t heavy enough with the modern crop of digital cameras such as the Arri D21, RED ONE, the scarlet, the EPIC and the Alexa, times get really challenging when you mount up a 3D rig lke the P+S Technik Freestyle, or even with the Dark Country 3D mirror rig (similar to the Element Technica Rig or the Paradise FX Rig).  Flying a couple of SI-2Ks is certainly better than muscling a couple of REDs around.  All this can be helped with the addition of a SteadiSeg (otherwise known as a Handsfree-Transporter or Segway).  Clearly such additional equipment is not normally part of the standard inventory for a Steadicam operator.  Not even for an MK-V AR Revolution operator like Felix.  Just to be clear in both cases, Felix is one of a small number of owner operators who actually owns their own MK-V AR Revolution System (2 in the UK) and their own SteadiSeg (around four in the UK), so if you want an experienced operator with his own kit that he uses habitually, give Felix a call!.

Whether shooting in 2D or 3D, if you’re looking for a creative Steadicam™ owner/operator you’re in the right place, or maybe you want to book Felix, his  MK-V AR Revolution and/or Handsfree Transporter.  See the rate card for equipment hire details.

SteadiOp is the home of Felix Forrest’s London based, global MK-V AR Revolution & Steadicam™ service. Felix is an experienced multiskilled operator specialising in Steadicam™ and AR operating and has an extensive inventory of equipment to facilitate the most creative shots including two professional stabiliser systems, our own MK-V AR, a Preston FI+Z system and a Handsfree Transporter.

A member of the Steadicam™ Operator’s Association, the Guild of Television Cameramen and also a member of BECTU, Felix has attended training courses in the US and the UK on the operation and practical use of 3D, Steadicam™ and training with MK-V on the AR™ Revolution.  As a result, he knows how to get the best from the Steadicam™ or AR Revolution systems.
