The Steadicam is an academy award winning system used in TV and motion
pictures to stabilize a camera while it is being carried by person
who is walking, running or riding. While the camera glides smoothly
with the Steadicam, it has a very limited vertical range. In a joint
development effort with Florida based Lightfoot Pictures, ABLAZE personnel
developed a system to allow the stabilized camera to easily move from
ground level to approximately 10 feet above the ground. In addition,
the system allows the camera to reach into narrow spaces such as the
window of a parked automobile. It is expected the system will soon
be used in a number of film productions.
