At the Broadcast Engineering Society (India) Expo 2010, being held at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi; Steadicam, a Tiffen International Ltd venture, is displaying its camera stabilizing system that have revolutionized the world of video and film acquisition.

While demonstrating its product to the visitors, Robin Thwaiks, International Director of Sales, Steadicam, mentions that the system costs around $4000. Steadicam system allows the camera person to have a rig tied around the body and at the same time capture a steady video or film while moving.

Further elaborating its usage in India he says that the camera stabilizing system is more often made to use in film production or studio production. This embarks on a disadvantage for Steadicam as most of the visitors at the Expo are from the news production industry.

For the production personnel from the news broadcast domain, camerapersons are in rush, thus carrying off a Steadicam device becomes quite unreasonable. Besides, for news gathering people quality of the video, as in terms of shaky images, is also not a major concern.

Over being asked about the response at the show from the first day, he replied that not much visitors have turned up.
