Steadicam Operators Association (SOA)

The Steadicam Operators Association (SOA) was formed by Garrett Brown, the inventor of the Steadicam, and Nicola Pecorini in 1988 to connect skilled Steadicam Operators with motion picture producers, unit production managers and Directors of Photography. Today, the Steadicam Operators Association provides a database of Steadicam Operators around the world, providing referrals across the entire film and video industry. Additional services include organizing and conducting Workshops.
