Shoot Tools: Barber Tech

Weighs less than 5lbs. Price: $449

For better shooting with today's lighter, smaller, often hard-to-hold camcorders, choosing to use camera support gear makes sense. Barber Tech's Steddiepod handheld camera stabilizer can help. It works as a monopod, can be boomed up over crowds, or work for low-angle POVs when a camera is attached to the bottom mount of the device. Steddiepod comes with a fluid head for panning and tilting, a level ball, dutch tilt, and a quick-release plate.
