Not sure if this was mentioned in the thread or the series of links posted, but a soda pop bottle is probably the cheapest steady cam... and it actually works!
Go out and grab yourself a 1-liter plastic bottle of your favorite drink. Guzzle it down and fill it 1/4 to 1/2 full with water. Drill a hole in the cap, insert a washer on the inside and slide a bolt through (make sure to get the right size/thread for your cam). Then tighten a nut down to the outside and screw the cap back on the bottle. Screw the wacky contraption into the bottom of your cam and you're all set. It lowers the center of gravity, which is a huge help... and the added extra weight is easier to keep steady than a light handheld. It also does a great job at making you look funny. -Matt ----------------------- http://vlogmap.org http://leanbackvids.com http://ridertech.com Yahoo!
