    It also helps a lot to have a Camera Stabilizer to get smooth shots on the move or to just stay steady. I've been using a Cam Caddie SCorpion with great success, it's affordable and effective.

    This is a decent quick fix though I've been much happier using a Cam Caddie it was less than $40 and it's helped me get much smoother shots all over the city.

    ChubbyWingsLive ChubbyWingsLive commented:

    This version is awkward and ineffective for certain shots. I've had great success using my Cam Caddie Scorpion, it's sturdy and efficient. All my video have a professional look to them since switching to Cam Caddie.

    ChubbyWingsLive ChubbyWingsLive commented:

    I've been able to get equally steady shots using my Cam Caddie Scorpion without the troubles it take to get the glidecam to work right. Cam Caddie only put me back $38 and it's been highly effective.

    YESS hardcore blading! I've been using a Cam Caddie Scorpion for the past year and I highly recommend it over any low-cost stabilizer. $38 and all my videos are incredibly smooth, with an obvious professional quality.

    On the topic of DIY, check out the Cam Caddie Scorpion before spending too much. Cam Caddie is about $38 and it can hold camera/lights/mics/ and a monitor all at once if need be while maintaining smooth movement. it's worked out perfectly for me.

    ChubbyWingsLive ChubbyWingsLive commented:

    Just stop suggesting the X-grip it's the same price as the Cam Caddie except it could not mount my camera because the battery would not fit on its small frame, forget trying to keep it stable adding a light or 2. It's just another knockoff riding the coat tails of a great product!

    New Cam Caddie

    finally got it. i look like a stoner in this video. HEROINE FOR LIFE

    ChubbyWingsLive ChubbyWingsLive commented:

    The opteka X-grip is for kids who don't know any better. The Cam Caddie is the same price on Amazon and it can hold anything, lights, mic, all cameras. I've read dozens of complaints about the X-grips wobbly nature and small frame excluding certain cameras and lights from mounting at all.
