Cool DIY stabiliser
Dunno if this has been posted before. But here is a tutorial for a pretty cool home built stabliser that was broadcast on UK Channel Five's Gadget show (this is an official video so it's legally on Youtube).

That "cheap" home made stabilizer probably cost as much as the real deal.
Monopod+manfrotto clamp+LCD monitor+mini tripod plus the connectors and joiners used to connect it all together.

At least in a roundabout way, he realized what all the DIY stabilizers (or most anyway) are missing, the Gimble.
Without that it's just a monopod you carry around. I have a small Glidecam unit that I got a number of years ago from a well known retailer for under $300, worked prefectly. |
