I recently bought a Steadycam with an armrest and I love it. It's much easier for me to take photos now. My hand doesn't get tired, it's not very bulky and it's perfect for long shoots. I use it for both camcorders and still cameras. The wrist brace really keeps my arm from feeling sluggish and bleeding after shooting. It's lightweight, very compact, and feels like expensive hardware despite being a steal. This is definitely a product I would recommend to anyone in the photography industry.
