My brother-in-law built it. It works for the most part...it gets wicked heavy though.

I built one and I really cranked out some good footage with it. I had two guys "fighting in close, which involved a lot of circular footwork. The rig did a fine job of staying with and enhancing the action. It was very dramatic.

I'd love to see the footage if you have it posted (or can post it)

I built one of those a few weeks ago, it was fun and works pretty ok.

I seen this and made it a little better IMHO...made a hanheld and stediecam comparison video. Also pics of my mod's to the $14.00 stediecam...what you think? I made it for a total of $75.00 not bad huh?
