This little unit pretty much does exactly what it says. You can film without touching/holding the camera, making it easier to zoom, focus, and see where you're going. You can also "hold" the camera longer without fatigue. The brace is plastic, but feels sturdy enough to take any reasonable abuse. The foam covering looks a bit flimsy (both in terms of eventual decay or coming off), but easy to repair in that event. I bought this for DSLR video. It places the camera in a good position for viewing the screen, but a little two far away for using a LCD lounge/eye piece. After playing around a bit, I found I could reverse the middle bracket piece to position the camera perfectly. A word of perspective: this doesn't give you the smoothness of a real steadicam rig. It's attached to your body, so when you breath, it moves.

This thing is awesome. I run two film crews shooting on DSLRs in remote countries with no support with custom rails packages for their accessories, and both kits use this shoulder mount for body stabilization. It's just so versatile! Yes, it is cheap as hell. You could snap it over your knee. But you know what? If you're worried, just buy EIGHT of them for the price of half a RedRock or Cavision or whoever-else shoulder mount. I say again: incredible.

I'm a pretty big guy, so this thing isn't the most comfortable, but I know that's because I'm big. It's not a flaw of the device. It's made of plastic, but it doesn't appear to be weak, and it does exactly what it's advertised to do. It's a nice little shoulder mount, especially for the price. This seems to be a rare case of getting a little more than what you paid for. I wouldn't stress the mounting arm too much with a lot of add-ons, though, because, in the end, it's plastic. Great for my T2i/550D and other lightweight DSLR's/camcorders.

Great product
Good for stabilizing your camera/video camcorder. Good to use with a stabilizer like Merlin as well to balance it without tiring your arm.

A must-have for dslr shooters
I shoot on a canon t3i and I can't do without my shoulder support. It straps around my torso and enables me to use both my hands. Read more

Fell Apart
Seemed to be a great idea, when you breath in/out the whole thing moves along with your breathing. Aside from that it fell apart on me during a shoot! Read more

Works Well with T4i.
Great for steadying a walk around video camera. I used it with a T4i, but would work with any camera. Good buy.

Worth every Penny
It's plastic, yes. But why spend $300 or more on something that's aluminum and modular when don't even have all the toys to put on it yet anyway? Whatever. Read more

The best $26 thing in the known universe
Does the job better than you'd expect. Solidly made and reliable. Works for DSLRs and some high-end camcorders like the Sony VG-20. Buy it and love it.
