Just wanted to share my experience with the Blackbird, The Blackbird Camera Stabilizer by Camera Motion Research (http://www.camotionllc.com/blackbird-a-78.html)
new hand held steadicam unit,
i've been doing some prototype testing and extremely happy with the results,
here is some visual from last Sunday, HF S10 Behind the scenes on Vimeo (http://www.vimeo.com/3746866) , steadicam work was done with the Blackbird;
