DVC 17929 Flycam 5000 Professional Action Stabilizer Steadycam for DSLR Cameras/Camcorders (Black) Review

Let me start off by saying that I am by no means unsatisfied by this product. If I could, I would give it a 3 1/2 star rating.
The price was a bit steep for the amount of engineering / materials used to make this device.
But then after I bought it, I found it on another site for $100 less, so you can find it for what you would normally find p.o.s. steady-cams.
The whole weight set up is more than awkward, with having these little compartments for the weights to go into. Why not just have a longer screw and wing nut? OH! And the weights are anything but accurate. You will need to go out and buy some flat washers so that you can better fine tune the amount of weight used.
All things considered, you can (with practice) achieve high quality stabilized footage with this product. I have used it on many occasions; including, several half day, and full day sessions. With the addition of the Arm Brace, you can wield this device for longer periods with less effort.
All in all, find this for less than $200, and then buy it. OOOHHH, make sure to buy the QUICK RELEASE ADAPTER for the mounting plate, or you will find yourself like me, spending time undoing the camera from the device instead of just releasing the quick release adapter.
