It is similar to what tony Cooper described and works quite well. -- PeterN |

The weight of the assembly will resist vibrations. I sort of have the idea that in the idea in the link, the stabilization will be from two points, not one. A dangling brick will most likely make the camera more unstable, and even one string you step on will only give it perpendicular stabilization, while this three-point idea will give you both lateral and perpendicular stabilization. -- Sandman[.net] |
