Top Camera Stabilizer

I purchased two Oben quick releases: One is for my stabilizer, the other for my tripod. The top of the release remains on my camera so I can switch it out quickly. (This leaves me with a top plate to use on my second camera.) For my tripod with a ball head, the quick release's levels are very useful! There exists a component that allows me to snap the camera into place without using the lever - this is a great feature as well. I have exchanged the bulkiness and weight of the quick release for these details, as the pros outweigh the cons by far.

I use a NikonD200 with a Neoprene neck strap and the neoprene, flexible Stabilizer Strap (Op/Tech USA) around my chest when camera is not in use. The stabilizer precents the camera swaying when I am running, climbing, or otherwise active, even getting out of crowded vehicles. The stbilizer prevents the strap from impacting anything like branches, rock walls, furniture, or the person in the seat ahead of me. It permits the camera to instantly slip out of the stabilizer, leaving the strap in position./ The strap length is adjustable to fit over a bulky jacket or vest, and the snap-on ends make it easy to fit.The central lens opening can be enlarged to fit extremely wide diameter lenses. I canot imagine how it could be improved.

I have 3 of these on different plates and such to keep from having to remove the camera from the stabilizer, they are indispensable.

I was never a Porta Brace fan, I was biased by the blue color they used. This case come in black and is made for my Glidecam HD2000 I just bought. When I opened the box i knew this was a step up in quality from even the great names bags I own. It is plenty big for the Glidecam even at at full extension. The dividers and tie downs are all customizable and keep the stabilizer very secure, which is very important when it takes so long to calibrate your stabilizer in the first place. If I had a stabilizer vest there would be plenty of room for that too. There are full length pockets on each side, one thinner zipper, and one wider velcro flap one. The bag completely splits open with the top zipper, but has a great 4 lip at the ends of the zipper to no allow things to spill out of the bag, brilliant. The handles are awesome in your hand, padded and great feeling leather; and there are three of them - on the top and on each of the ends. The shoulder strap is even thicker and goes diagonal across the bag which makes it drap along your body for easier caring. Nothing on feels cheap or does anything seem like a weak point to be careful about. The whole bag feels like it will last forever. One thing I wish was included as a picture of a recommended set up for the inserts in the case. I can't figure out how I'd use some of the inserts.

This Stabilizer is the best! Thanks!

Amazing Stabilizer!

Need these with the stabilizer. Makes the camera easier to balance

This is a very good camera stabilizer product but needs a support like the Eroz X1.

I have tried a cheeper stabilizer but found that it just did not come close to this one!

This camera is great for sports and the image stabilizer is awesome! Highly recommend!
