Solowheel for a Steadicam?

avril 13, 2012 Technical 2 Comments

In the cinema, it’s not unusual for a Steadicam operator to use a Segway to capture smooth movement. The problem is they’re very dear (7500 €) and they don’t fit in the boot of a car. Solowheel is a possible solution to consider because it costs less (1700 €) and is a less bulky way of gaining handy electric autonomy. To look at, the balance seems precarious but in fact it’s a lot easier than a unicycle, but the very low centre of gravity makes it feel like riding a bike.

Here’s a Steadicam operator on a Segway. A final solution worth considering as the Solowheel is still quite expensive: The DIY pseudo Segway assembled in the garage for 300€!
