Davis & Sanford SS3C SteadyStick Compact Stabilizer with Handle Review


This product wound up delivering in every way I hoped it would. I shoot wedding and event videos, and I would typically come home with aching shoulders and still have too many shots that were less than steady. Steady Stick's multiple bracing options have allowed me to get great steady shots and save my neck and shoulder muscles at the same time. I finished my last seven-hour shoot yesterday not feeling nearly as fatigued as I used to, and I was able to get great shots from both high and low angles. Two warnings: I smashed the hell out of one of my fingernails when my finger got wedged between one of the bars and the body of the camera (that was mostly me just not paying attention); and don't think that this is a substitute for a Steadicam. It's not really designed to get steady walking shots; but once you're in set position, you can get your camera almost as still as you could with a full tripod. Matter of fact, I didn't break out my tripod once during my last shoot. And this rig is much more flexible and multipurpose than a simple one-stick monopod. I highly recommend.
