D5100 and steadicam tests.

[Desmond]

I've been playing around with stabilization for the D5100 and bought this cheap steadicam rig.

What's the bottom bit for, just low weight?
Looks good, except when you stop, a bit wobbly.

It's supposed to be a balance weight for the camera - it needs to be set up so that it is slightly heavier than the camera but as you say, that means when you stop it moves forward slightly.

thanks for the video.

I'll do some more tests and see if I can get it smoother with some adjustments to the weight
