The Steady Stick works great. I do outdoor and fishing shoots where I have to be on my feet for sometimes 16 hours with an XL1-S for 4-5 days at a run. These shoots sometimes require that I have to wade knee deep in streams and rivers with nowhere to set the camera down or rest. Before I had the Steady Stick I my back wrist and shoulder would be totally fatigued and in pain by day 2. By Day 4 I would have a hard time even keeping the camera upright. Now with the steady stick, I can shoot longer and come out of the shoot pain free. It’s comfortable and adjusts nicely to suit your body. I would recommend it to anyone who has long shooting days in tough conditions.

I have lost the positing lug in the camera connector on my “Steady Stick”. Where would I be able to order this part?
It is turning all around , than you

This is a great concept but be warned it can be ackward if you do not have a flip out LCD panel. Using it w/ my XL1s, I can not comfortably put my eye on the eye piece. It sits to far out too the side forcing the user to twist their entire body slightly sideways to see through the finder. If you have an LCD, this should work great. If, like me, you are on a Canon where you rely on a tight fit between the eyepiece and your face, it may not be the best option.

The Steady Stick will easily handle any camera up to 15 pounds. It uses a standard tripod 1/4″-20 screw.

I see the Steady Stick Pro in your eBay store. Is it possible to remove the shoulder mount part so that the “Pro” version can also be the “Compact” version when needed?
-
Got to say I bought it, mod it with a new heavy duty bolt but I rarely use it. Still a great tool for ENG on the go…
-
I’m not quite clear: Is this model you’re selling the SteadyStick Compact or the SteadyStick Pro?
Thanks,

Hi !
I am interested in the Steady Stick for my new Sony EX1. Would it be suitable for this camera and which model (ie. Pro or not) would be best. I live in the UK and is it possible to get one sent over to Europe.
Many thanks, John-
Thanks for your question. The Pro Version is only for Full Sized 20lb+ Broadcast cameras. The $99 compact is all you need and everything is included.

Looks great, the only issue I see, what if someone is a 44 or bigger waist?

Nice Product.
I use a JVC GY-HM Pro 750 Shoulder rig.
I have noticed that your pricing is quite a bit lower than the Amazon or Tiffen website. is this the same product and how do I purchase one.
Also,
How does it mount to my camera?
Thanks & the video was great,
