TV Studios in London has joined the
fast growing ranks of Steadicam
M-1 rig users.
The M-1 is the latest high-end
Steadicam rig and was supplied
by Tiffen International based at
Pinewood Studios, London. Included
with the system were the Fawcett
Exovest and G70x arm, further
Steadicam M-1 options.
Following
their
normal
procurement procedures of testing
three different solutions from
varied manufacturers, ITV Camera
Operators Jon Townsend and Tom
Woodcock were tasked with sourcing
a suitable camera stabilisation
system for their live broadcast studio
setups using Sony ENG Cameras.

Woodcock said: "This week is the
first time I've had chance to properly
use the M-1 and it's a joy to use. I
can't fault it at all. Everything is a
big improvement over what we were
used to."
The M-1 was purchased specifically
for ITV's Good Morning Britain, and
Loose Women, with the further
possibility of use on other popular
daytime shows there.
The monitor to be used with the
M-1 after tests was a Transvideo
8-inch XSBL 1500nit unit.
A Sony HDC-1500 camera is used
on the Steadicam rig in conjunction
with a BOXX Meridian wireless
system on GMB and fibre on Loose
Women.
