The $14 SteadyCam

$14 steadycamBrian sez: "For less than 5% of the price of a real Steadicam (the ones made for small video cameras go for about $900), you can apparently build your own "Steady-Cam" for $14 with parts from a hardware store. The sample video makes it look pretty good. Great gift for the amateur videographer in your life who refuses to use a tripod, the bastard. (Oh, and stabilized images compress much better for the Web, too.)" Link
