I think it cost me $19 for the parts to build 2 of 'em. I really did make some difference.

Im going to attempt to make one out of gray pvc threaded pipe this weekend. I want something I can unscrew and pack in my suitcase. Mine I made was out of mic stands I had with a 8" mic stand base on the bottom and a folding arm on the side with the head off a small tripod. Its very versatile, and can be folded and adjusted for many different angles. Its a bit to tall to take around in public though, or try and get in my suitcase without them thinking Im doing something odd lol.
Our canon hv-10s are way too small to not have a steadicam or tripod. Handheld you would have to be a robot to keep it smooth. I want to walk around with it in PHX and do some interviews and dont want jiggily shots lol.
