It’s a camcorder stabilizer, a shoulder pod and a tabletop tripod all in a single compact device.

Set your compact camcorder on the Modosteady, adjust the balance and your camcorder will seem to float as you move along to follow the action. Just like devices costing hundreds of dollars more, the Modosteady makes your camcorder react slowly to your motion providing a smooth image in your video.

It’s a great effect, useful for many shots, but not all. A slowly reacting camera is not a great way to follow fast action, but a shoulder pod is! Just turn a few sections on the Modosteady, and that’s exactly what you’ll have—a shoulder brace that works like a gunstock, giving you great support, but making it easy to follow the action.

Want to get into the shot yourself? Just twist the sections, and pull the cap of the end of the handle, the handle the splits to become the three legs of a table-top tripod.
