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.
I've got the newest Sony model HDV cam, and that's probably not much bigger than yours. Same deal basically, I shake even when I'm 100% still.

Let me know how it goes with the PVC. The steel piping is a bit heavy, and I don't know how much the weight figures into it.
