Other than a glidecam and a tripod, what are some good stabilizers that you guys use

i got the DNA glide gear 50/50 as opposed to the glide cam 2000. Its 100$ cheaper and i have no complaints. It even comes with a carrying case and is of a very sturdy build quality.

i've tried the movi. not very many people on ns will be able to afford it or opperate it. you need two operators to three if you have a remote follow focus and its around 20 grand to own. It's really fun to use and way better than a glidecam or steadycam. wish I had the money to buy one. Defy makes a cheaper version of the Movi that looks pretty cool though, and its only 3000 to 4000 depending on the model.
