SteadyCams, contrary to popular belief, use counter-weights instead of gyroscopes. They're also horribly expensive. In this video, I show you how to make one for about 5 dollars that will do the same job as those that cost hundreds more.

Very Nice!
I too always thought they used gyroscopes. This, I can afford to make! Five stars for you and more stable family videos for me. Thanks!

Cool!
I like the way you can also use it as a monopod when you're not moving. Five stars WELL deserved.

Very nice...
I joined Metacafe JUST so that I could compliment you on your very nice video. It's a great idea, and the fact that took the time to so carefully share is much appreciated. So, if you're ever traveling, and you see this guy with a funny looking homemade steadycam....feel free to say hello!

The only thing...
I could come up with was the 8 inch thing. It's pretty steady most of the time.
