looking in the garage and found a few things and made a shoulder mount, took 5 mins to build cost nothing and it works really well. i don't have a tripod so this should help some.

A little rough around the edges... but hey, that's what DIY is all about, right?

You have a DVX100 and not a tripod?
At least get yourself a simple photo tripod. No hand-held or shoulder mount support, or even the best steadicam, is a replacement for the steady position of a tripod or even the movements you can do with it.

haha yeah its really rough, if i spent a few hours on it i would be mad, but took me 5 min so no big deal, i usally rent a tripod if im working on a big project..$25 a weekend so not bad. so no worries and the rest of the time there is usally a object to set the camera on it kinda makes the shooting process an adventure not only do you have to find a good an creative shoot but you also have to find a good way to get it. and as far as the simple photo tripod i wouldn't trust on with the dvx on it and im pretty confident that i can create a better movement then something that cheap

Yeah some pipe insulation would probably wrap around the shoulder part to pad it a bit.
