How to Make a Camera Stabilizer for $7
Christopher Penn, creator of the Financial Aid Podcast -- which, ironically, is an audio-based podcast -- has a great tutorial on how he built a handheld stabilizer for his video camera... for $7.
Granted, you need a couple power tools and the common sense to use them properly. But if you're mechanically inclined, you can make yourself a pseudo-steadicam for less than the price of breakfast. Not bad.

If you want to get really ghetto, you can just hold a camera by the legs of a lightweight tripod - I've done that in the past, too.
'ghetto' is a racialy ignorant term U fuk. bkuz when ppl say 'ghetto' they don't meen Jewish ghettos, or white ghettos, etc a ghetto is an area where there is a similar income track, & people of the smae race, ethnicity, etc. think b4 U speak stupid.
Not to defend or condemn Christopher's word choice, but a few thoughts spring to mind...
A) If you're that incensed, why comment anonymously?
B) ... on my blog, instead of Chris's?
C) ... with misspellings, profanity and insults that reinforce a negative stereotype of people who might take pride in perpetuating a "ghetto" stereotype?
D) ... purport to know what type of ghetto Chris is referring to? After all, you say yourself that a ghetto is comprised of people with similar income / race / ethnicity, then claim that people who use the term "don't meen" Jewish or white ghettos. Are you sure? Because your argument collapses upon itself.
For the record, I've known several black ghettos, white ghettos, Latino ghettos, etc., and you're right about the qualifiers that unite the people who live there.
But I can also see any one of them holding a camera upside down to stabilize it in a pinch.
