Update, I have more information about my CheesyCam stabilizer at vimeo.com/3523137
or at cheesycam.com/?p=18
Testing out my DIY Stabilizer footage. All parts available at Home Depot. I was literally sprinting to keep up with the kids, but the stabilizer worked pretty well.
The stabilizer also allows me to flip it upside down for those really really low shots.
Camera 5D Mark II with Sigma 20mm. Sorry video isn't HD I was going for functionality of the stabilizer on this demo, not video quality.
