Hague Mini Motion stabiliser

[munickster]

Has anybody seen or used this product? http://www.cameragrip.co.uk/acatalog/info_263.html
The sample footage seems to be pretty stable. The specs say it's for cameras under 800g, and it seems to only be available in the UK.

Looks interesting, I think it would work pretty well if balanced properly.
It is kind of like the poor man's steady cam, have you checked that out?

Never heard of it before, but it seems to follow common stabilizer design so it should work. The keys to success with any stabilizer are to get it set up properly for the specific camcorder it's to be used with and then practice a lot.

and then practice a lot.

That is very, very true, lots and lots of practice required

As they are in the UK I may take a look at it.
