Things only a ZeeGee can do.
@steadistanke makes the Alexa and @angenieuxlenses 24-290 look weightless.
“Super thanks to @eastsidecamera for the test space and equipment and @mwadeyoung for the help. The arm is a lovely ArmX1 from @smartsystemgear , the monitor is a @feelworld_monitor p7s. Our Zeegee is available to rent on @sharegrid .” - @steadi.g
The ZeeGee can fly on a body, dolly or any baby pin, while giving you the look of handheld.
It provides free motion in pan, tilt and roll axes, crucial to replicating the look of a shoulder-mounted camera.
By leveraging a legacy Steadicam arm and vest, the weight is transferred to the operator’s body.
Now a shorter operator can boom up to the height of a taller actor or down to a seated person. The arm removes the operator’s footsteps which are rarely desirable in a handheld shot.
The operator is also free to control the camera via the handles on the side, or place a hand on the battery as desired.
The great thing about the ZeeGee is that the learning curve is very minimal!
Even without prior experience using a Steadicam arm and vest.
What would you use the ZeeGee for?

Such a fun, difficult, and rewarding experience getting to work on this crazy horror thriller. Brilliant Director @markgantt and DP @awrusso led the charge for us into this production and helped see the vision through to the end. I owe the most thanks though to @camerasamurai and @elizabeth.coggins who supported me through the entire production and who without I would have never made it. @soulmates.movie@imanimediagroup

The Donor Party 2023 out on Hulu and Apple TV.
This was such a fun set to work on with so many laughs and good times had across the board. This was my first feature operating for such an amazing man, father and DP @awrusso , with whom I owe much praise and gratitude. And an eqaully fun dad and Director @thomharp who both wrote and directed this film with incredible ease on such a tight schedule. I also owe much to yet another third amazing Dad and industry AC mentor @camerasamurai who is such an incredible presence on set and his partner in crime @elizabeth.coggins who without I may not have made it to the end without such a good friend. There were so many others I enjoyed spending time with on set that I owe much of the good vibes too as well!
