Historic, Contemporary, Any Operator, Any Rig... Stories of "who and how" made the Steadicam what it is.

What is the best system to put on a steadicam so you can transmit the video feed wirelessly to a village so the director or director of photography can see your shot. Terakek? Paralinx? What is commonly used. Thanks! Eric
