i really dont get how this is gunna make your cam corder steadyer..

[JO3haNsum]

using pvc is better than metal conduit

[Jesslayc]

i think you should get a peice of cloth or rubber on the camera mount so the metal dosnt scratch up your camera!

where the hell do you live....are u that rich!!!

[dmonte012]

Would have actually been a much better video if ypu actuall showed how to use it. Other wise it is a bit of a wate of time

[VizualShocker]

Just use the million dollar bill you stashed in your zip drive piggy bank to buy a steady cam :3

O.k. cool but I agree w/avallonmist - what does it look like when finished?!

[cooldudewithglasses]

@allthatgoodstuf The weight balances it out. But i tried this and after a while my arm got extremely tired....But this stabilizer wont control up and down shake and that happens alot.

@allthatgoodstuf It's simple physics and weight distribution.

[neurocosm]

More of a glide-cam than steady.
