My friend Neal Barenblat and I have never used nor trained with a Steadicam, so one day, we decided to rent one and climb a mountain.  We rented a Varizoom Steadicam Navigator from Omega Broadcast here in Austin, TX and drove out to Enchanted Rock.  We mounted Neal's DVX100B onto the steadicam and climbed the 800 ft. mountain, all while documenting our experience on my Canon XL2.  Worst Idea Ever?
