How to Get Into Each Mode
Camera Boom Mode
Monopod Mode
1) Follow the steps to setup and balance your
STEDDIEPOD for Handheld Camera Stabilizer Mode.
2) Extend the main shaft outward by telescoping the
sections out to the desired length.
3) Adjust the camera and head where desired for the
shot you need.
4) Brace two of the counter weights/stabilizer bars
against your hips if doing a simple boom over head
height or lower subjects.
5) If needing to shoot up and over a crowd, out a
window, over a cliff, balcony, etc; make sure you
keep two hands on the STEDDIEPOD as you raise,
lower or move the STEDDIEPOD around for your
shots.
Note: For horizontal shooting, we recommend that
you don’t fully extend the Steddiepod if your camera
is 5 lbs and over.
1) Follow the steps to setup and balance your
STEDDIEPOD for Handheld Camera Stabilizer Mode.
2) Extend the main shaft segments out at full extension
(telescoped all the way out).
3) Now twist (counter-clockwise) and loosen the
counterweights/stabilizer bars and put them upright
against the main shaft, then twist (clockwise) & tighten to
secure them.
4) Make sure you hold on to the STEDDIEPOD in Monopod
mode, as there is nothing supporting the STEDDIEPOD to
keep it upright except
the camera person.
