If you want ultra stabilization a Kenyon gyro will fit anything, but it may be overkill.

They show the one that holds a small camera towards the end of this video. Incredibly impressive.

I'm looking for a handheld stabilizer to use with a Sony RX100. Does anyone here know of one or use one that works well?

This will be strictly for shooting video.

Thank you.


Depending on how much money you want to spend. I have been working on active stabilization for cameras shooting video. I have built setups that range from a small GoPro to a RED Epic. Both for hand held and hauling up in the air with a radio control helicopter/multi rotor copter.

Here is a sample clip I shot from my wife's car.

That....is absolutely brilliant. Silky smooth video. How much does this cost! Where can I buy one?

Check out the small size and portability of this one. However it's specifically for a GoPro: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/48127572/easygimbal-an-advanced-gopro-3-camera-stabilizer

I think they were selling for $2,500 read to use. The gimbal can handle all the way up to a Canon 5D size and weight.

You can also get a smaller version for less money. There are a lot of them on the market now.

$300...but something smaller might be better for an RX100:

If the link above doesn't work, I just typed in "carbon fiber brushless gimbal" into the eBay search box.

What kind of videos are you shooting?

I have a Flycam Nano that I use for a DSLR and I'm sure it'll work with a RX100. For $100, which is what I bought it for used on this forum I believe (hard to find, though), I could not go wrong. And it works just as well as the $800 Steadicam Merlin (without arm/vest) that I used to have.

Hi Tom K.,

Perhaps something like these will suit your needs?

Handheld 3-axis gimbal for GoPro comparison - FM Forums:
https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1309086

Here's the video link from that thread...

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Do you use the Flycam Nano as it is or do you also wear a vest?

The one for 120 at Amazon looks interesting, but he never takes the camera off and shoots the apparatus to see what it looks like.
