Having seen Charles P.'s stablizer footage, and having experienced the limtations of tripod and handheld work, I'm really tempted to drop the $$ on a handheld stabilzer for my little PV-DV852. Something like a Steadicam JR, Glidecam 2000, Hollywood Lite LS-1, Flowpod, or Sachtler Artemis DV, etc.
Questions...
Is there anyone out there that has one of these products and loves it? Which product do you love (hate)? Are you getting really smooth camera movements you couldn't get otherwise? Or, is a handheld stablizer just a tease, making you realize that the only way to get that fluid camera movement is with a full body-mount set-up and a substantial sized camera?
Thanks...
