What is a Steadicam ? An Equipment for Video Production 


We all have recorded a video with our DSLR sometime or another, and you would have found out that most of the footage was rather shaky at some points rather being smooth.

To overcome the shakiness of the video footage while shooting a moving shot, a music video etc. a Steadicam comes in handy to use. A Steadicam is an equipment that cancel out the shake and movement error created by the body of the camera person while shooting.

Steadicam is a brand name they are basically known as camera stabilizers, which stabilizes the camera shake and movement.

There are many Steadicam available in the market ranging in price from Rs 5000/- upto Rs 50,000/- , 60,000/- or even more for a professional one.

For a basic videographer or for basic video shooting you can always buy a Steadicam in the range of 5k to 6k but if you need a Steadicam for a full-fledged video production house it’s better to invest in a good amount in a repudiated steadicam.

The latest Steadicam that you can buy in budget of 5k to 6k is the “FLYCAM 3000” which will cost you around 5300/- on amazon.in. This Steadicam can hold your 6D mark II , 80D, 700D in canon or D5300, D750, etc. in Nikon. This Steadicam is only meant for DSLR’s and not camcorders.
