@lonelyday91 Give it a go! Sometimes the best DIY products come from whats lying around. ;)

@Rock123 Heh, whilst I'd much rather be a "Yes Man", this was a concept back in 2005. Five years on and the market has really adapted for stabilisation on the smaller end! (They always have, but a lot of newer products are out). The Steadicam Merlin is a good place to start. Manfrotto also makes a stabilising rig. =)

I do think the footage is really jerky........hardly steady.
I dont think this approach is as good as the gimbal type of stabiliser.

Hah, of course not. I made this when I was back in high school and was trying to be inventive with what gear I had. There are many better ways to stabilise your camera body... but on a budget this can work. If one can afford a Steadicam Merlin, by all means knock yourself out. (unless you're shooting on DLSRs as the camera body is very light whilst the lenses (especially Canon-L series lenses) leave the unit too front heavy)

@Laszlomedia The Whitlams - Gone Surfing. Some early stuff from a great aussie band before they were a lot more popular. =)

How about a high quality iPhone or camera phone stabilizer under $10 and 5 mins to assemble with a screwdriver? This is my design.

@supportren Wow! Did you design that yourself? You seem to know the whole in and outs of designing a practical steadicam! With DIY knowledge like that you could go to design some amazing things! =D
