I'll probably cobble my own version.  All the commercial stuff isoverkill _and_ over-priced.I thought I did today.  It was like going into a Radio-Shack andtrying to buy a resistor :-(Malcolm Moore's choice of google terminology provided lots ofpointers.

I bought a "Quantaray by Sunpak QSX Compact Monopod" at a "camerashop".Worked great, much better than expected.  Managed yesterday to standthere in one place for an hour as a magician entertained ~30 kids,moving shot position around smoothly.But I'm now shopping for at least how to build my own quasi steadi-cam;-)                                        ...Jim Thompson-- | James E.Thompson, P.E.                           |    mens     || Analog Innovations, Inc.                         |     et      || Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems  |    manus    || Phoenix, Arizona  85048    Skype: Contacts Only  |             || Voice:(480)460-2350  Fax: Available upon request |  Brass Rat  || E-mail Icon at  |    1962     |              I love to cook with wine     Sometimes I even put it in the food
