not the best design but still pretty effective for image stabilization. originally conceived for video cameras but i use it for my regular DSLR camera. holds camera pretty still except for those moments when you're huffing & puffing, then you want to disconnect from the chestpod as you're getting lots of movement then. great for times when you can't use a tripod or monopod. also gives more freedom of movement and quicker response than with a monopod. a definite must for low light handheld situations, especially when you don't have a fast lens.

haven't bought one yet but am considering a slik mini pro tripod as a possible 3-point chestpod.

I have had mine for over 15 years. I have used it on various cam-corders. I find that I get older, I need the stability this device provides. So easy to hook up and adjust to your size. Allows you to lower your camera and not fear dropping it. I would recommend this for all cam-corder use. I also plan to try it on my 35 mm SLR to get the extra stability.

I liked using it, but not sure if it's needed. Took some weight off my neck, so for that, it's good (bad back and neck). I think the design could be improved by including a harness instead of just a belt, so that it attachés to a harness that goes over the shoulders with a wider flex/stretch material belt that breaths. And, the addition of a tether to the top portion that is adjustable for angled away from body support.
