Poor Man’s $20 Steadicam


Are you tired of your camera shaking around and making you and others sick with your video footage? Gohepcat will show you a homemade steadicam that will only cost you $20 to build. If you’re too lazy to find all of the parts you can buy a steadicam kit for $39.95.

Complete instructions and sample videos are located at that link as well.  This sample video was very impressive - filmed while running with homemade steadicam and camera 3-6 inches off the ground.  Very cool… I have a feeling I’ll be building one of these pretty soon!
