Title: Not as difficult as some reviews indicate
Product review: I have to say that I was excited to get the Tiffen Steadicam. After receiving it, I would definitely recommend viewing the instructional video. It was a little redundant and the anticipation of playing w/ the Steadicam made me not want to watch it, but it was pretty informative and helped me get through the initial setup of everything. With a little practice I was able to get it down pretty well. A couple of particulars that'll take a lot to get used to: zooming and focusing. If you're in motion, holding the steadicam, zooming proves to be rather difficult (depending on the camera as well). It's more efficient to keep the camera on autofocus while using the steadicam. Overall, while I still have a lot of practice to do, I am very pleased with this product.
