a hand-held camera technique using a stabilizing Steadicam (introduced in the late 70s), with a special, mechanical harness that allows the camera operator to take relatively smooth and steady shots, though hand-held, while moving along with the action; the resulting images are comparable to normal tracking shots on a wheeled dolly
