I was thinking about buying one of these. Glidecam stunt bar $90 or Cam Caddie $40

Or should I just make my own?
If anyones used one, tell me what you think.

That will not stabilize your footage. It's simply an extension bar...you could easily make literally the exact same thing for under $50...

Stunt bar is useless/a ripoff. If you like the idea then build your own with a piece of angle iron and a handle for less than $15. The "scorpion" might somewhat stabilize your footage and make follow cams easier, but you could also build the same thing for less than $15-20.

Thats what I was thinking. I will try and make my own and if it doesn't work well I will buy the cam caddie. I only wanted one to make follows easier.
