I was looking for a way to steady my movie shots and friends suggested a fig rig, so I got the 595B from manfrotto. It's just a big metal hoop you hold the camera by.

As you can see, walking still produces bumps, but I'd say the panning up and around is much smoother. I actually wasn't trying to walk softly with the fig rig setup to make it more like the first test, but I could have walked smoother and slower to steady things.

Overall, I think it does what it is supposed to and smooths things out enough for me.
