Steadicam

The Steadicam has been complete but once the camera has been mounted on, it seems to be eliminating the shaking but there is now a swinging movement. It is either caused by the weight at the bottom not being correct or the bearings are moving to freely. I think that the combination of these two things will help to give us steadicam that we will then be able to use to produce smooth films. 

The first solution we are going to try is to slow down the bearing, if washers are attached this should help to slow the speed down. Below is an experiment that we have tried, the left bearing is enclosed by two normal washers, one either side of the bearing, which does not stop the movement as it is not gripping onto the bearing. The bearing on the right has been enclosed by two locking washers, one either side of the bearing, which grip onto the bearing slowing the movement down. This now needs to be transferred onto the steadicam.
