I get what you're saying James but surely there's some cost element involved. I've seen some very acceptable vimeo stuff on HV20 using homemade steadicams, ok they're not perfect but likely its going to be used for videos submitted to sites like this very forum?
What did you want one for, Pasty?
Dude they deal with glidecam too yanno!

Just thinking of something different really, would be good to get some steady tracking shots of walk ins etc. I guess I'm a bit tired of the static tripod shot (admittedly the only thing you can do if you're on your own though ). Even editing between different angles can get tiring sometimes. Would be nice to get a bit of movement when filming others. A portable jib could be cool to use occasionally, or maybe a shoulder mount.Alternatively I could just put it towards another lense...
When I get a DSLR that does video I'm quite psyched to try some dolly type shots. Should be much easier/ cheaper to rig than arms or cranes, I reckon using tensioned wire instead of rails should work well in woods like font.
