Mike's custom iPhone steady-cam

@mikehellers has customised a Hague mini Motion-cam for the iPhone 4. Hague sell one that works with the iPhone 3G but apparently not with the 4.

The video was shot in the new Apple Store at Covent Garden, London on the opening day (7th August 2010).

Mike made this video with it:

I have one of these steady cams, but the major flaw with it, is weight. The fact that the iPhone4 doesn't weigh enough on it's own to be steadied. If you look at the video, there is additional weight added, I'd love to know how much, so I can sort mine out..?

@dmfotoNI if you dm @mikehellers on twitter, he will be able to help. Basically he bolted on some counterweights. Cheers, Chris

I would suggest looking into Cam Caddie before one of these. Cam Caddie can mount to it almost every home camera, including my FLIP and DSLR. It's only cost me $38 and has been highly effective helping me capture smooth shots.
