$14 Steadycam
A great option if you make videos in your children’s ministry, if you make one, let me know how it works!
Steadycams (or acai pure sale camera stabilizers) are attachments used to capture smooth looking video even when the camera and camera operator are in motion. The camera operator may walk (or even jog), move through tight hallways and doorways, and even climb up and down stairs without shaking the camera. Unfortunately, professional steadycams cost around $1500. Even the cheap 3rd party ones cost $600+. Not exactly a bargain considering many of us use cameras in that price range.

I made a $14 steadicam – using the exact same website and instructions – several years ago for a short film I was shooting. It worked out fantastically.
If you’re stuck in the $600 miniDV camcorder range for making videos for your CM, then I’d definitely recommend also making one of these to go along with it. It’s a bit dorky to carry, but it does a pretty great job of undoing the “shaky-cam” effect of most cheap camcorders (and inexperienced operators).
Daniel… Maybe I got the link from you???? It’s been sitting around for ages while I procrastinate in posting it
