3 Things I learned from making a DIY Homemade video camera stabilizer steadicam

http://stores.ebay.com/mrhulot I made this video to show a few tips I learned while making my first video camera stabilizer using the design from WCSCLATER.

i haqven't seen anyone else use a plastic body or pvc to replace the flashlight handle used with this design.

if you are attempting to make your own DIY stabilizer I watched a ton of youtube stabilzer videos and put the best ones I found on my Kodak zi8 Playlist

three of the best DIY stabilizer videos are by WSCLATER,PRododojo and yb2normal

never tried it, the lighter the camera the harder to stabilize in m y opinion

I had a hell of a time making a reliable steadycam from home. Finally I ordered a Cam Caddie SCorpion and it's done everything I hoped it would. For $38 I have a well designed camera stabilizer.

@MrsPalmerTV if you shoot some video with the scorpion feel free to add it as a response to my video.I would like to see the results as making a real home made stabilizer is not as easy as it looks for darn sure. thanks for the information

hello walney,

i bought it early this year on ebay from a guy in Hong Kong, it was very cheap, under 10 bucks, I can not find the info though as my paypal records do not allow me to go back that far and my emails to him are on my old compter that has broken.

I will do some mre searching on ebay to see if I can find it.

@mrhulot101

I wasn't able to find the seller you mentioned directly by searching at eBay, so I googled the name and found the link to their eBay page. I then searched for any sort of u-joint and found nothing. What exactly do I search for to find the item? Also, I did find a few other steel u-joints on eBay, but I unsure of what to look for as per the size and if it needs to be threaded or whatever? Thanks.

@MrsPalmerTV The scorpion is not a camera stabilizer in any way. Only a handle that may steady your motion but it is not any type of steady cam.
