One of the highlights of my week, being taught by steadicam legend, Neal Bryant SOC. I met Neal in 2023 when I interviewed him online for the podcast, he holds a special place for me because he was one of our first international guests. We had a great chat for that episode.
Little did I know that almost exactly 3 years later he would be teaching me at this course. Neal’s being doing Steadicam since he was 16 years old, has won camera operator of the year and has an incredible amount of knowledge. He can break down complex topics into simple terms. He taught us the best way to tackle Stairs, Antlers, Gyros, Crane step offs, and utilising the Volt 2 and Volt 3 to their maximum potential. Not only that, hes just a great genuine guy.
Thanks for inspiring me @studlycam I’ll be taking your lessons back to Australia 🇺🇸🤝🇦🇺

Today the #Volt3 was delivered to me and Steadicam will never be the same. I can literally make the camera fly differently in the middle of a shot. This is new territory.

Some tricky bike to bike shots made easy by my trusty Volt, a KS-6x6 gyro, and the skillful pedaling of Taylor Casebeer.
