but it has some more opinions on it from February this year. How long did it take to build?

Anyway, took me about ten minutes.

Even though I find that it works slightly better than the tripod, you can also mount a real tripod head on it for greater stability.

Ive made this steady cam and it warks decently (mimicks the real ones nicely. its cheap and takes about 30 mins to build. the only prob is too make sure the head washer and bolt are perfectly installed cause it can lead to stripping of yur camera threads
