What the hell is that?

I can't help but wonder ... what is it about Steadicam that brings all the nutjobs out of the closet trying to reinvent the wheel with their endless variety of designs.

 

No wonder the art of Steadicam is being eroded with crap like that out therein the marketplace purporting to do the same thing, only way cheaper and .... you don't need experience. I only wish there was a way to stop them advertising using the Steadicam/stabiliser names and then sue the bastards for misrepresentation :-)

I'm trying to figure out exactly what is it about this rig that would be equivalent to a steadicam in any way.

any ideas?

I suppose even just the word "Steadicam" conjures up all sorts of promises of a spectacular, magical, fluid, floating camera moves, everyone is going to want to have this trick in their bag of tricks. Especially when they are so cheep nowadays, I could have saved myself a fortune if only there had been similar "equivalents" when I bought my rig.

:D
