I'll get back to you at this as soon as possible, a friend of us built a steadycam thingy for our small PCR-9 miniDv camera and it worked a treat.

Have a look here:

The! site for DIY steadicams: (http://www.homebuiltstabilizers.com/)


Definitly worth to go thru and have a look at the forum. On the site you find a lot of different approaches to that theme. Also dolly and cranes. Its a great resource for DIY projects to get smooth shootings.

On the Cafepress website you can buy some books about DIY projects.

Cody Deegan is selling detailed plans for a complete rig (post, arm and vest).
