I have a few handle for sale here :
gueugnot.com/steadycam-gimbal-handle/
TUTORIAL "how I built my steadycam" : vimeo.com/10202711
EDIT : video is now converted 30p > 24p with cinematools + compressor...
Just a quick word...
It is a first test of my DIY camera stabilizer, specialy designed for the Canon 5DMKII + 16/35 2,8 L. Low cost but High quality smooth moov ! Steadicam Merlin was toooooooo expensive for me !
Special gimbal design seen on youtube by WSCLATER. (Skateboard ball bearing and universal joint)...
Really easy to made for less than 60$, a little time and very few tools !
Please add your comment and feels about footage, so I could work to improve the design. I could work on a video tutorial as well.
Please download original file for max quality...

I have already made a home made FrigRig and a home made dolly, why not complete the set and make a home made steadycam like yours! Brilliant.

Je suis sincèrement désolé de ne pas pouvoir répondre à tout le monde.
Lors de la conception j'ai cherché le centre de gravité de l'ensemble "boitier+optique" qui se trouve quelquepart dans l'objectif pour le 16-35 2.8... J'ai donc percé la plaque afin de fixer la poignée SOUS ce centre de gravité, bien EN AVANT du trou de fixation de l'appareil lui même... Pour le poid de l'ensemble du stabilisateur seul, il n'excède pas 1kg...
Pour la manoeuvre : Porter des baskets et marcher en pliant les genoux. je suis droitier et j'ai la poignée dans la main droite et il faut avoir en permanence la main gauche sur la pièce au dessus du cardant pour orienter et rattraper les mouvement indésirable par de toutes petites touches
whats the name of the second song?
I enjoy the tracks that you used for this as well.
Someone asked for the music:
