Manfrotto Modosteady and Xacti HD1000 walk outside

This was my first test, to walk around with the Modosteady in the neighbourhood.

OK, it is not perfect, but I think this thing is pretty cool I bet the results will get better, the more I practice with it.

Well, I guess it's better than not having it, right? I mean if it fits in a pocket or compact, then maybe it might be good as a "vacation steadicam". You seem to own a lot of steadicams? Are you a professional videographer or just a hobby? I have the Hague, but do you think the Modo is still worth it as a shoulder support/panning or tripod?

Yes, it is better than nothing. No, I'm not a professional I just wanted to compare these steadycams and find out which one i like most and that is the Merlin. I sold the other ones.

The Modo is a nice thing, It is realy good as a little tripod and should suppert and it is ok as a steadycam.

Fantastic. Thanks.

Merlin is like $800 or 612 EURO... that's kind of steep. Well, I could use a shoulder support and tripod, but I'm not sure if it's even worth $90 for that. I hate the promo ads that Modosteady releases - it doesn't show anything. Do you know a better shoulder support

[mossite]

Yes, I think the Hague MMC is better, but you can use it only as a Steadycam and it doesn't fold up that small.

But the result with the MMC is smoother. Best result is with the Merlin.

is there a better stabilizer for same price?
