FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PentaVision offers Steadicam camera stabilizer      South Bend, Indiana – November 11, 2011

PentaVision Integrated Digital Media is pleased to announce the addition of a Steadicam camera stabilizing system to their ever growing production arsenal to meet their clients’ creative needs. A Steadicam is a stabilizing mount for a film or video camera which mechanically isolates the operator's movement from the movement of the camera, allowing a very smooth shot even when the operator is moving over an uneven surface. The system includes an operator vest, an arm with a series of internal springs and a counterbalanced “sled” to hold the camera, electronics and monitor. It allows creative camera movement with greater mobility, flexibility and without the set up time of dolly track or camera jibs.
The Steadicam was introduced to the industry in 1976 by inventor and cameraman Garrett Brown, who originally called his invention the "Brown Stabilizer". The Steadicam was first used in the 1976 feature film Bound for Glory, but its breakthrough movies are considered to be Rocky in 1976 and the 1980 film The Shining. The word “Steadicam” is now a registered trademark of Tiffen, but is often used generically to refer to this particular type of stabilizing mount.

PentaVision Integrated Digital Media is a full service media-solutions company based in South Bend, Indiana, providing producer, location production, non-linear editing, DVD Authoring, and other media solutions for its broad base of local, regional and national clients.
