I'm using a Canon A-1 digital on a SteadyCam JR and have had problems with the
maximum limit of about 45 minuits from my camera battery. I sometimes shoot
performances with my SteadyCam and need to shoot continusly for an hour or
more. I wanted to use a battery belt but the cord would create a problem with
the stability of the SteadyCam, so with the help of a friend, I came up with a
special power cord to connect the battery belt to the camera with little
interference with SteadyCam JR operation. I know some people are using battery
belts with the steady cam using cameras with back mounted batteries. I guess it
works OK but perhaps the cord I am using would help. Sound interesting?
