iSteadi for funding at kickstarter


About iSteadi
What it is:
iSteadi is the ultimate snap-in conversion kit for iPhone 4; 4S and virtually any other mobile phone thanks to a Universal Mounting Kit.
In a blink of an eye it transforms a standard phone into a semi-professional steadicam*.
It features :
+ adjustable case to fit the hilt onto the phone;
+ ergonomic hilt for a comfortable and safe grip;
+ balancing mechanism to minimize the vibrations transmitted to the images.
How it works:
As a standard steadicam, iSteadi operates on the principle of the pendulum: if we hold an object by its center of gravity without transferring torque, the object tends to maintain its angular position minimizing the vibrations transmitted to the image.
The center of gravity is brought inside the handle by a barbell made by a telescopic antenna.
This way, the steadicam can be easily packed away and the operator can adjust the balance with only small changes of the antenna length.
