jamfactory would you care to share this super-cheap steadicam trick i'd love to know!?
As silly as it sounds, but your tripod is a steadicam of sorts! Super expensive steadicams are all based on counterweights, so if you extend your regular tripod out, with the legs closed - you have a counterweight for your camera!
if you have a horizontal arm then extend that out and use that as a horizontal balancer for extra steadiness!
Sounds ghetto i know, but it definitely helps get a steadier shot!
