Looking good for @bsc_expo 👌🏼
A taste of more to come…

Well while we’re all experiencing isolation, why don’t we take a look at how our friends FlowCine have been ‘isolating’.
Isolating movement from the gimbal operator so it doesn’t transfer into the image is what they’ve been doing!!! Take a look at these glink practice runs. #smoothasbutter

#repost • @flowcine Since there isnt much of easter celebrations left this year, why not spend the time alone in solitude practicing? Spent the day practicing some linear walks with the #gimbalink .. Also tried out the new #insta360onex which is quite fun.. Wished I had someone with wheels accompanying me, but in these times practicing is better done alone... 😐 #glink #movimethod #mōvipro #movipro @freeflysystems #smallhd @smallhd #ignitedigi @ignitedigiaustralia #insta360onex #insta360 #gimbal #gimbals #learnfilmmaking #cameraoperator #gimbalop #gimbaloperator #flowop #stabilizer #xspine #stabilisation #cameragear #filmaking #reddigitalcinema #reddigitalcamera #homealone #smallhd503ultrabright #filmaker @filmakrs #filmakrs
Practice, practice, practice. Tan yourself at the same time and enjoy the sun. Nice Don Juan action Leighton.

repost • @steadicam_wideopen Living La Vida Lockdown. Thought it might be worth getting some practice in during this deathly boring time. Luckily I have a pretty long driveway... Anyone else have have a practice setup at home? What are you practicing? #camera #lens #cine #moviecamera #operator #cameraoperator #steadicam #steadicamoperator #steadicamlife #gpipro #gpiprosystems #flowcine #xarm #flowcinexarm #exovest #arrialexa #lockdown #socialdistancing #coronavirus #thegbct #gbct
Jay getting some practice in with his recent GPI PRO sled purchase.
I know he’d rather be on set, but we can only do what we can in the current situation.
#repost • @steadijayy Low mode practise with my mum and a bit of neutral fun to end the afternoon 📽️
Hope everyone is having a great Sunday! #stayathome 🙌

We now have the latest Ward Sniper mk3 for sale and rental! This new version enables connectivity to both @arri and @prestoncinema focus systems instantly, sending valuable readout data to the handset.
Offset adjustment can also be made wirelessly on the Sniper PRO handset.

Repost from @steadibrooks
Our ice rickshaw may not get quite as much use as our regular ones, but when it does, the results are always fantastic.

Always pleasure having our friend @steadibrooks in the office. Having his first play with the Trinity #arri #steadicam

Thanks Mike at @opticalsupportltd for the hands on tutorial with their new Arri trinity rig (they own two I believe) it's strange at first but I found after repeatedly taking and break then flying again it became more natural

Monday morning, and another working week begins.
I thought I'd share a little glimpse at what goes on in the Optical Support work shop. This is just one of a multitude of service/repair jobs we carry out on Steadicam equipment. Here a pan bearing is being replaced in a Steadicam Shadow-V.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any issues with your equipment that you think we might be able to help with.
We are fully authorised service agents for Steadicam and GPI PRO Systems.
Great shot of @steadijim operating on our Mantis rickshaw for 'Discover of Witches' over in Cardiff.
