I use the steadicam for a month, and the whole is good, except the rubber grip that rotates on itself after assembling a reflex. Replacement by a handful of BMX at Decathlon 5. For ease of use I recommend you also buy a quick release plate, in order to avoid having to re-balance the rélger together whenever you remove the APS or cam. For my part, I chose a fast clip with Manfrotto and there, no worries. Using this steady with a Canon 5DIII + 16-35 f / 2.8, I removed the grip, the weight is ca that time too important to Steady (and arm ....). In short, a good product to make video occasionally in common. Olivier.
