skateboarding and POV drug intoxication scenes are the only thing that look good through a fish eye lens.

Which is the heaviest camcorder you tried on your stabilizer? I plan to buy soon a used Sony Z1 or a Canon A1...would it handle those camcorders?
-
Can foam also absorb left-right movements? On your site it seems that the gray pillow is supposed to minimize vertical jitters...
-
I've put the horizontal shaft to make sure you also can balance really light camcorders: just put washers on it and a light camcorder becomes heavy (and steadier of course)...
yes for now it's a quite reasonable price...hope I'll keep it low!

@sturdyshots I'm mostly impressed with the way it copes with vertical jitter, something I noticed in other steadicams and I was planning on getting rid of. So great job on minimalizing that!
It's a quite reasonable price indeed, especially since it seems to outperform the more expensive Merlin. If you can keep it on that price, you should be able to sell loads. Does it support really light-weight cams as well? Say, less than 500 grams?

Of course you'll stress your back, so with a heavy cmacorder, hold the stabilizer next to your chest and use both your hands.

That's foam;)

All stabilizers work the same...more or less...most important thing is drop time of course

everything looks better with fisheye. plus using that lens makes it really hard to notice any kind of bounce.

@AdamBruno522
Of course we know that...that's why we shot vids using medium lens (43mm) and telephotos (the only vendors in the world who do that)...please check them!
