Extreme Sports stabilizer systems

[Felonybmx]

Hey. Does anyone out there have any experience with stabilizer systems? I mainly shoot extreme sports(bmx) but am trying to branch out. I was thinking about this one

because i think the low flow thing would make amazing fisheye shots. Is a stabilizer even possible in the field of exteme sports, dragging gear around in back back? Then balancing it every time you set up at a spot.

I don't think you would be happy with the Flowpod for your application, it is intended to float the camera and keep it steady, what you want is good control without causing too much strain or fatigue. I think you should look at a Fig Rig instead.

I agree, The fig rig would be perfect for shooting fisheye...
