Having a pocket camcorder is great. This is true if you choose to go with a Flip UltraHD, a Sony Bloggie, or a Kodak Zi8. However, one obstacle that you may encounter in their use is that your hands are shaky. As a result, those high-definition videos leave your viewers with all kinds of motion sickness. Not good.

Helping you shoot better movies is the ReadySteady video stablizer. The super portable device connects to the tripod mount part of your pocket HD camcorder and helps to provide a counterweight for steadier video-shooting. The entire product is made from aluminum, not plastic, and can be easily rolled up for easy transport.

The ReadySteady won’t be good enough to replace a traditional tripod or monopod, but it is a lot more portable. The base can be placed on a flat surface for extra stability, but even in a handheld configuration, the extra weight at the bottom can make for much steadier videos. This is thanks to its “patented design and physics” to create balance between the device and your digital camcorder. Better still, it is made in the USA.
