Hi,
I want to get something that will help maintain smooth movements while walking and shooting.
I currently shoot with a Nikon D90, although I plan on upgrading to a better DSLR soon.
I've looked at a ton of different stabilizers, glidecams, etc at all different price ranges. Each one seems to get positive and negative reviews. I decided to come here to get some advice.
To get an idea of what I've been looking at, there's the Tiffen Steadicam Merlin. It seems a bit pricey, but I assume you get what you pay for. I wouldn't want to spend anymore than that (even that is pushing it for me price wise).
Then there's the Glidecam HD-1000 Hand-Held Stabilizer which is more within my price range, although reviews suggest it is mediocre.
Suggestions, thoughts?
