I recently got offered a part time job as a videographer for an independent company. This is a great opportunity for me. However it requires me to use a Steadicam, which is about 40ish lbs in all (with the camera on it and all)...

I had a spinal fusion for scoliosis in my lower lumbar when I was around 14, then when I was 21 I broke my back in the mid-area (T-10 or 11 for those of you who know biological specifics).

I know people with back problems should be careful opperating a steadicam, but I consider myself healthy. I do yoga and other simular things to maintain my health and strength.

I really wanna give it a shot! Should this be safe? I am 24, young female in decent health... I work out, eat well, have had back problems in the past but I think I can do it...
