Thanks Glenn,
The glidecam product is too pricey for my needs and the horizontrue product seems really only suitable for video cameras (I am considering a still camera). Interesting to read about the products out there, but my needs are as a simple (and poor) amateur. Glenn Ashmore wrote: I have a Sony with digital stabalization. Anything over about 5X zoom really needs a tripod or gimbled/counterbalanced mount. Digital stabalization is not like the mechanical stabalization in some binocs. It helps with hand vibration but does little for major movement. I have a Glidecam 2000 Pro mount (cheap Steadycam) http://www.glidecam.com/ that works well but it takes up a lot of space when working in the cockpit. For a fixed rail mount http://www.horizontrue.com/ works pretty well for keeping a reasonable horizon shooting underway but not very good for scenery shots. Niether will handle a camera over about 6 pounds so a waterproof case is out. |
