Hiertoe hebben wij nu een vervangende behuizing. Reparatie hiervan is echter zeer kostbaar vanwege een zeer gecompliceerde arbeid en de tijd die dit in beslag neemt.  Een 'doe het zelf set' hebben wij beperkt op voorraad met engelse instructies. Wordt uitsluitend verkocht aan gespecialiseerde technische specialisten met uitvoerige Engelse gebruiksaanwijzing. Wij geven u veel terug voor een gebruikte of beschadigde SteadicamJr!    OCCASIONS Te koop aangeboden of te koop gevraagd.

Cinematographer for hundreds of Hollywood movies. Some of the most memorable--the Philadelphia Art Museum steps scene in Rocky, the Big Wheel shots in The Shining--were done by the inventor himself, Garrett Brown.  Jan van der Meer is Steadicam JR specialist trainer and dealer with maintenance/ repair center.  The Steadicam JR (pronounced J.R. not "Junior") is part of the family of Academy Award winning Steadicam Camera Stabilization Systems, yielding images as smooth and jitter-free as those of the professional rigs, for today's compact Mini DV camcorders weighing up to 4 pounds. Jiggle-free shooting, freedom of movement, performance, versatility, rugged design, durability and award -winning technology allows the camera to be as mobile as the camera operator - walking riding, running, or standing still. With the Steadicam JR, you're on the move!   Structurally, the Steadicam JR is deceptively simple: a camera platform, a gimbal handle, a flat screen monitor and two folding arms. The secret of the Steadicam JR's patented stabilization concept is in its ingenious system of weights and balances which places the center of gravity within its free-floating, inter-gimbaled handle assembly. What all this means is, while you may shake or rock or turn, the camera will remain absolutely steady. With the Steadicam JR, you can take shots at "impossible" angles, above, below or even behind you. You simply can't get that with any other video product. Once you've mastered the Steadicam JR, there's no limit to your freedom to create dramatic moving shots. Key Features •  Fluid Low Friction Gimbal The fluid low friction Gimbal reduces rotary jarring. The gimbal, located at the top of the handle, is the most sophisticated engineering in the JR, intercepting unwanted rotation before it reaches the camera. •  Fingertip Control Spreads the weight of the camera, increasing the resistance of the rig to unwanted Tilt and Roll and pulling the center of gravity into your hands; actually, fingertips! •  Follow the Action Instead of using an articulated arm to follow the action and to support the weight of the rig, the JR uses the more sophisticated, but less dictable human arm. •  Weight Adjustment In order to isolate the camera from rotation, the Steadicam JR has to be precisely balanced so that the camera comes to rest upright, with the horizon horizontal, with proper headroom for the shot; yet without so much bottom weight that it rocks like a pendulum. Different size lead weights are supplied to allow the operator to balance the system for a particular camera. •  Easy Conversion The JR can be operated in three different modes: "Flying" Steadicam Rig: The reason it was invented in the first place. Allows the operator to achieve smooth walking, jogging, skating, bicycling or even climbing stairs and the picture won't shake. Shoulder Mount: Folding up from the bottom arm and folding out a "Whale's Tail" (a small, "Y"-shaped attachment) converts the JR into a shoulder mount. Perfect when you want to shoot from the audience or use the camera's zoom lens. Tripod Mount: If both arms are folded flat, - folds and stores in a layer 2" high beneath your camcorder - the JR attaches to a tripod with standard screws. In all positions, the external viewscreen is still useable; by allowing the operator to look away from the viewfinder, adding mass, and spreading out the rig's overall mass, the JR gives the operator shots significantly more stable than similar shots from the same camera without the stabilizer. •  Shoe Adapter A mounting shoe is built-in to allow easy installation of a wireless audio receiver or Steadicam Obie on camera light. •  Sturdy Construction The Steadicam JR is constructed of a Carbon Fiber/Poly-carbonate composite material. •  Instructional Video You don't need to be an expert camera operator to operate the JR. The JR comes with a thorough instructional video. It will take several hours to set up and get comfortable with the rig. Then practice, practice, practice.   Een heel aardig alternatief is de Marzpack zie www.Marztech.com of zie Jan van der Meer  in actie tijdens IBC2001 op www.marztech.com/ibc.html  NIEUW:  Bekijk ook het nieuwe corpus/schouderstatief; het is anders maar voor sommigen een heel goed alternatief.
