Make Steadycam Test

I built the $14 steady camera mount from Make 01 and was really impressed with the results. Check out this very short video of me chasing my dogs around the yard. http://makezine.com/01/stabilizer/

You can honestly keep such criticism to yourself as no one cares.

Indeed, as with almost everything, it takes practice. I used the poorman's steadycam for a paintball event and it was my first real use of it. For the price and inexperience on my part it worked very well, especially in the stairwells. The gimmick to the cheap steadycam is practice.

Poor steadycam, poor video quality, poor cameraman skill... Poor man!
