NS, So ive been shooting with my D7000 for a few days so far, and its awesome. Im currently using a tripod, but want to build/get a handle thingie that can attatch to the camera. Ive seen tons of people with them, just dont know what to look for on the internet. Im not really trying to spend over 100 bucks... What do you guys reccomend?

I saw a huge thread in here a while back, but cant find it now... Thanks NS

Fig rig. It's kind of like a steering wheel that you can mount your camera in and if your lens has image stabilization, or Vibration Reduction in Nikon's case, you'll have some smooth follow cams. Just search it on Youtube and you're bound to find something. I wouldn't use if for standing still though, try to buy a Fluid Resistance tripod head for the one you have now for smooth standing still shots. That's about all I have to offer...

you might also like the z-rig. Its like a combo between the classic skate style handle and a media cage, they look really useful (not just like a 1 type of shot rig). http://dslrhandle.com/

That looks sick! I had never seen one before just now, I have a tripod right now but I may have to invest in one of these guys
