Steadycam are they worth it?

[virtueCreations]

Thanks! Lots of info -

I have been looking at these for a while

and wondered how they performed.

Do you find that the camera feels much heavier though - more arm strain? I am not the strongest gal around and my camera as it is, is quite heavy :)

IMHO The answer to the title question for me is no. It's a ridiculous price for what it is. I've tried this one and the Glidecam (which is a seriously naff piece of engineering), sure they work ok with some practice, but from a manufacturing/cost/volume/mark­eting etc point of view they are a rip. Sorry :-(
