Thanko here offers a way for budding filmmakers to hone their craft with a stabilizer frame for creating great Steadicam-style tracking shots. Maintain smooth footage with this handheld mount that is far cheaper than the kinds of expensive professional-level equipment already on the market. This Thanko Compact Video Camera Stabilizer is thus perfect for the creative videographer looking for a steady shot but doesn't want to splash out on something heavy and pricy.
It is also much, much easier to set up and start using than a full stabilizer, which is ideal for the casual user who has that sudden inspiration for a cool shot. And one of the best things about this stabilizer mount is also that it's compatible with most digital cameras, iPhones and other video recording devices.
Here's a comparison of what it's like filming your iPhone with and without the stabilizer mount.
