Steadicam operator, Las Vegas.
Michael “Doc” Deitch, SOC is a Las Vegas Steadicam owner-operator with 20+ years on features, commercials, music videos, docs and live events.
( A ) Steadicam with Volt
Tried and true, with a modern upgrade. Steadicam owner-operator for 20+ years, now flying with Volt to keep the horizon dead level.
- My own Steadicam rig, flying with Volt to hold the horizon dead level.
- A-cam, B-cam or a day play, on features, spots, music videos and live shows.
- I started out as a dolly grip, so moving the camera well is the whole job.
- Based in Las Vegas. Happy to travel.
