I have to say - this is genius, and I'm sure a commercial product will be out from someone soon! http://www.videosift.com/video/Camera-Stabilization-for-1 (http://www.videosift.com/video/Camera-Stabilization-for-1)


Ug - I hate that this forum doesn't allow you to edit your title spelling!!  lol

Genious [sic] ???

This idea is not new and you can buy these already made. People have been doing it for years..

BTW - there must be some irony here lost on the OP. the correct spelling is genius...

Oh, THAT old trick!

Much better variation is to make a loop, stand on the loop with both feet spread apart, it's twice as stable.  In the 70's Polaroid distributed a "handy hints" sheet in their SX-70 film packs showing how to do this, I took the pictures of the model.

If you shoot handheld panos, wrap the string around the lens and use the weight as a pointer to a spot on the ground to keep centered on the rotation point.  A short 1/4" wood dowel inserted into the tripod thread hole will help you keep a consistent tilt and level.

Does this really work? I've been thinking about getting a monopod, but this!

I wonder if you can buy something like this more refined?

My string is dirty and frazzled ... about 6 years old now, and I believe that I heard of this back in the '70s, but never tried it then.

It is making a good re-run on all the forums lately.
