Old school Glidecam V-20 at work! A steadicam is a mounted video camera that allows for the taking of unshaken andmore stable footage without using complicated dollies or tracks. It prevents the unavoidable hand shakes from even the most talented camera operators during fast-paced shots or filming that requires a fluid movement on the part of the camera operator. Essentially, it’s a harness that attaches the camera to the operator, or a camera that is attached to a a bar with a handle.

If you’ve already got a website and blog for your real estate business, you may still be missing something: video. Any business can benefit from an online presence that includes video, but this is especially true when it comes to real estate. Online sales videos on your real estate website can help you reach a wider clientele base and help you show off your listings in a whole new way: Old-fashioned real estate listing photos simply don’t show enough of a home, or adequately convey the flow, size or set-up of a home or individual room. As well, a video tour of a home for sale can have a huge impact on who is actually seeing a home – especially those who wouldn’t bother to go to an open house, are unable to get to an open house in another city or simply can’t fit an open house into their …
