Thanks to David from Ready Steady Video for sending me his new steadying device for Pocket Video Cameras. The Ready Steady comes in a very portable compact case (see left of picture), you take the lid off, take out the aluminium rod, screw it into your tripod socket and you are done.

You place one hand flat down on the case as the other hand grips the camera. It’s the tension you create that keeps the Flip steady. So I wasn’t so sure this would work when I saw it online but it does actually keep your camera steadier than handholding by a long way. It feels a bit like you are using a monopod. Nice invention David.

See the Ready Steady here.

Check out this improvised Flip Video rig. The rig extends 8 ft and rotates almost 360%. It’s the DIY creation of a Flip fan going by the name of Fishsooup.

The Joby Gorillapod magnetic is the latest in the line of Joby flexible tripods for lightweight cameras. It’s simply a Joby with magnetic feet.

The pod attaches firmly to metal surfaces so you can shoot your Flip at unsual angles. Especially useful if you are making a documentary about Pole dancing! Seriously, you could attach it to a ceiling air vent, on a lampost, the list is endless.

  • Removable clip with universal 1/4″ tripod screw.
  • Holds up to 325g (11.5 oz)
  • Weight 45.3g (1.6oz)
  • Available in 7 colours.

See the Joby Gorillapod magnetic at Amazon UK or at Amazon US

The guys at Photography bay, were so confident in the Gorillapod’s stickability they attached their Flip Video to their car and drove at 50 mph with no injury to the Flip.
