The essential cinematic tool

STEADICAM

As a professional Steadicam operator based in Los Angeles, David has worked on dozens of projects ranging from film and television to music video, commercial, and even live broadcast.

The Steadicam is the human experience for cinema. We don’t see the world from a shaky handheld perspective, but our brains instead stabilize what we see. Steadicam allows for an immense freedom of range and motion while keeping the shot stabilized and smooth for the viewer.

David is a Steadicam M-2 Owner/Operator based in Los Angeles and ready for international travel!

Featured Project

Roland Aerophone AE-20 Release Video

This was one of the last projects for me in 2021 and probably one of my favorite ones. Getting to work with such talented musicians in a beautiful environment is always a pleasure, especially when you get to listen to them improvise all day on a magical electronic wind instrument!
