This is a nice versatile product. Works as a shoulder or chest support, a steadycam and tabletop or low angle tripod. Made with the usual innovative Bogen/Manfrotto design. from Bhphotovideo.com For $100 I took a shot and in the end it works. I have a Canon HV30,large capacity battery and a wide angle lens (very heavy). The camera with all this weight will not balance until you add extra weight to the bottom of the modosteady. It will balance the HV30 without the lens with no modification. from Amazon.com This thing is your best option for a cheap, low end steady cam... useless you have a DIY setup. from Amazon.com I found this to be more of a toy than anything. Works great with my lighter cameras but anything like an HV20/30 (which I wanted to use it for) is too heavy for it. I could KIND OF get it to work with a lighter battery and with the HV30 naked but I want to be able to use my mics and lights. from Amazon.com I got mine from X-treme geek here on Amazon for $[...] + shipping. For $[...] bucks shipped it would rate 5 stars. So overall for a budget steadycam that does three jobs it's pretty good. But I also like my Hague Mini Motion clone. from Amazon.com If you are getting this hoping to be able to jog through the woods and have a totally steady camera - unfortunatley you have to spend a lot more money to get that. I have a light consumer camcorder that because of it's lack of mass, is very hard to hold still - especially when moving. from Amazon.com The downside of going HD video is that you seem to notice the shakiness of what you're shooting when you're watching the video. I think in the back of our mind when we're videoing an event, we want those seamless pans and movements without camera jerkiness. Manfrotto makes excellent photography equipment, so for my Canon 5D Mark II and it's HD functionality, I figured why not pick this up? from Amazon.com worked pretty well. added weight to the camera and had a nice handle. what i didn't like was the plastic its made of is a little cheap. from Amazon.com I've seen all the video reviews of this product before purchasing it, the stabilization is great and gives you a good image quality. After purchasing it, i'm having difficulty to fix the camera and finding the right balance to have a real steadicam. the manual is confusing with a lot of numbers and annotations. from Amazon.com This stablizer looked very cool and it does have three functions. But the most important function (the stabilizer) doesn't work as well as it should in theory. First off, the mount for the camera is a pain and the suggestion that it's a "quick mount" feature is a joke. from Amazon.com
