How did they stop making it? Full value for money compared to other stabilizers. And pretty compact. I wanted a small travel camera for my A7R ii and this is perfect for what I need. It's probably not as stable as the larger glide cam versions and balancing is a complete DISEASE, especially if you've never used a glide cam before, but once you've used it enough it's easy to find a good balance. Nice stabilized footage that's easy to travel with and worth the awful study and patience it takes to keep your balance. Get a quick release plate and save time.
