Agreed tripod is probably one of the most important pieces of equipment you will need to buy.

tripod.

Don't buy a flycam nano, save up for a glidecam after you purchase a good tripod

doesn't stabilize that well from what I've seen, kind of a ripoff of the glidecam

i have one, and for the price it works pretty damn well. Obviously not as well as a true glidecam, but for the price i like it.
