We previously reviewed the SteadiCam Smoothee, and thought it was just alright. Tiffen is expanding on their Steadicam line though and this time they’re targeting to GoPro customer. Though the Smoothee was marketed as being able to work flawlessly with the GoPro cams, this new one is sporting an aluminum frame, standard GoPro quick release mount and a collapsible handle for compact storage and portability or for use as a GoPro hand grip.
To ensure that you get stable footage, there is a fine tune adjustment knob for balancing–which should ideally be set before you even start moving around. That shouldn’t be so tough as this thing weighs half a pound.
The Steadicam Curve doesn’t have a final release date or price yet, but we should expect that soon.
