The Stedi-Stock

By DerrekSigler,on May 9th,2010

Stedi-Stock

A while back,a guy from Agonic Enterprises from Texas got a hold of me and asked me if I’d like to try out a new product from him called the Stedi-Stock. I looked at it and was quick to say yes. The Stedi-Stock is a plastic,lightweight stock to mount your spotting scope or video camera to. You can then hold the scope or camera very steady,with no shaking so common with just holding something in your hands.

Does it work?
Yes,very well. I used it with a spotting scope and found it to work almost as well as the tripod,yet was much more mobile. I also liked that it is light and compact,making it extremely mobile. You have several mounting options for how you want the device to be held on the stock.

What’s with the grip?
The grip threw me at first. I didn’t see why it was cone-shaped. ThenI saw the other part of it that can mount on a tripod. What it basically does is give you a quick-release mechanism for mounting the Stedi-Stock on a tripod,or window mount. You can them pull it off and go out into the field. Think about that. You’re out scouting for bucks or bulls or whatever. You spot what you’re after,and all you have to do is pull the Stedi-Stock off of the tripod and go. And you still have a useable scope because of the Stedi-Stock.

I occasionally have to use a video camera. The Stedi-Stock allows me to be totally mobile,yet still get good,quality shots.

The Outwrite Truth
If I hadn’t been asked to test one of these,but had read a test or seen one,I would have bought it on my own. It is a quality product and does just what it says it will do. I haven’t seen anything just like it before and the versatility and mobility of it make it a product every hunter,outdoor-enthusiast etc… should own. Best of all,it is made right here in the USA and is available for under $30! I don’t get anything for selling these but am telling you,go buy one. You won’t be sorry!

Thanks to modern technology, the digital cameras, rangefinders, spotting scopes and video cameras currently on the market today are lighter and in some cases, much smaller than in years past. However, it is still difficult to hold the device steady, which causes your pictures, videos to be blurry or shaky and your observations through a Scope to be almost impossible with out the aid of a bulky cumbersome tripod or an attached mono-pod. People are still people though, and we still flinch, wiggle and shake while attempting to take pictures, or videos and even viewing things through a scope. The Stedi-Stock will assist in overcoming those human tendencies and provide you with pictures and videos of a professional nature. This simple multitasking device also provides stable images when viewing wildlife or nature through a Spotting Scope on the go.
The Stedi-Stock gives you "STABILITY WITH MOBILITY".

The Stedi Stock is not just for hunters but is a viable tool to assist the birdwatcher, parent filming their children's activities, family on vacation or anybody who wishes to capture memories to share for a lifetime. The Stedi Stock is designed to attach to any camera, video camera, spotting scope or other optical device that uses the standard 1/4x20 threaded insert. The versatility of the Stedi Stock and the various accessories make it quickly interchangeable to catch the action. Whether you are an avid outdoorsman, a birdwatcher, parent who wants to catch the action at your sons little league game or daughters recital, or even a professional photographer or videographer, the Stedi Stock will giv eyou the professional edge for all your photos or videos at a price anyone can afford.

Why you Need a STEDI STOCK

Mount your Camera, Range Finder, Spotting Scope or Video Camera on a Stedi-Stock ® today! Help eliminate poor quality pictures due to "CAMERA SHAKE", assist in holding your Range finder Stable at longer ranges, take your spotting scope with you on the go, and accomplish smoother videos without the weight of an unwieldy, bulky, cumbersome tripod. This optical device shoulder brace will assist in reducing arm fatigue when filming for long periods of time. The Stedi-Stock optical stabilizer allows the user to interchange their optical devices quickly and is adjustable for eye relief.
I created the Stedi Stock to get Stability with Mobility while hunting in the mountains of Colorado and New Mexico. Being a flat land Texas boy, I got real tired of lugging a tripod and Spotting Scope up and down those mountains. Several times I left the Scope in camp and every time I regretted it. The big tripods are way too heavy and cumbersome not withstanding that you are chasing around the tripod while glassing for game, and the mini tripods that come with the Spotting Scope are totally impractical to set up with out a convenient log or rock that you can set behind and most of the time that just right log, rock or stump is not available.

With the Stedi Stock , a quick release and a mono-pod you can set up almost anywhere and move the Optical Device as needed. The Quick Release allows the user to revert to shoulder use, the Mono-pod provides stability and a platform to eliminate arm fatigue from holding the scope for long periods of glassing. The Mono-pod also functions as a good walking stick.

The Stedi-Stock stabilizer is a ultra light device (weighing 6 ounces) is made of Hi-strength NYLON 66, to assist the user in obtaining clearer, pictures and quality Videos. After all we are all attempting to capture MEMORIES, so use the Stedi-Stock to capture memories you can share for Generation.

Stedi Stock! Brings new style to pictures and filming

By Shannon Wood on July 6, 2011

Harold Hurst from Texas sent me a message asking me if I had ever seen a small piece of equipment called the Stedi Stock. I had told him that I had never even heard of it. So his reaction is, “Hey I will send you one”, and you tell me how it works. I had called Mr. Harold up and told him that I would love to try out his invention and to my surprise when it came to my door steps I was very happy at what I saw. Now at this point it has done everything that it is suppose to do and even more.

I will continue to put it through test and see how the outcome of the test go about. There are so many camera arms out there on the market today and the cost of them are sky high. The cost of the Stedi Stock is only $29.95 plus $5.00 shipping. You can get the better deal and get the camo super combo package for $109.00 plus shipping. This comes with everything from the steady stock, mono pod, super clamp, quick release, and even the rifle rest. Everything that you need is all in one bundle ready for you to film your next hunt. You can learn more about the Stedi Stock just by clicking here. “ Stedi Stock ”

I have noticed that I have yet to find any flaws in the making of this equipment yet at this time. Everything can fit into a back pack for easy carrying. The set up time to put all of it together is less than 1 minute. that is a plus compared to hanging a stand and strapping on a tree arm to mount the camera.

It’s durability is strong and water resistant. If you can hold a gun up to your shoulder then you can hold up the Steadi Stock with a camera mounted to it. This small set up is going to change the way hunter’s film their hunts from now on.

Just mount your camera, aim and shoot! It is that simple and that easy even a child can do it. In fact I would put my name behind it and this is something that I don’t do very often for those of you that know me. The size of everything in the whole package makes time easier for not just the set up but as I have already said once, carrying it as well.

There will be no more climbing out of tree and then doing a follow up shot with a tripod. The mono pod can handle that for you. In fact you want even need the mono pod unless you just want to use it. The Stedi Stock will do all the work for you.

Knowing that there are so many gimmicks out there in the outdoor industry today it is simple to see that this is not one of them. Think back about ten years or so when TV shows were using those cameras that weighed 25 lbs. If they had the Stedi Stock back then like we do today all that shaky footage would have never been there.

Thank God for all the new inventions that have come out and those of them that work are great. There are some out there that work. But the question is ” How Well ” do they work? There is greatness and there is fair working conditions when it comes to products in the outdoor industry.

So take just a few minutes of you time and check this product out and you too may be ordering you one before hunting season roles around. This will make a great gift to any hunter and could even lead you into filming or taking pictures of your hunts to come. ” Tell them that Hello Hunting sent you. ”

Good Luck!

Harold, we used the Stedi Stock a few weeks ago doing some scouting and stand prep. Loved it. My 10 year old son ran the secondary video camera on it and it was just fantastic. Thanks Clint from Campfire Stories

NO LIMITS OUTDOORS: Gordon and crew are using the Stedi Stock to film portions of their shows

Here are Gordon's comments;

"Hey Harold, I wanted to touch base with you because I had some time to get my hands on your product and get to know it a little batter. First of all I know this product will be a great asset to Nolimits Outdoors, I really love the quick release option when running and gunning. It will be super handi for stalking, turkey hunting and field interviews. Stedi Stock as a whole is an awesome tool when deer hunting whether you are trying to hold your video camera, spotting scope or picture camera it is second to none and for the price point you have you are not beating up anyone's pocketbook. Harold I think there is no reason why we can't sell a lot of these bad boys and we are super excited for the opportunity and we will try to take some pictures using the product ASAP! Let me know if you need anything in the meantime."

Thanks Gordon Griffith Owner/Host

Harold. I just got back from Colorado where I used the Stedi-Stock again.

You have made my life so much easier with your products. I have used the Stedi-Stock on my camera across the US, South America and Africa with great success. But also the variety of clamps that you offer allows me to position my lights and second camera for a professional appearance. Thanks again for your products and continual improvement.

Darrin Tolle- "After field testing the Stedi-Stock for nearly 2 years, I can honestly say this is a tool the AVID Outdoors Team is proud to use and promote. The Stedi-Stock allows my team to carry and use our cameras in every possible situation. It allows us to free hand in applications where a tripod or tree arm are not always practical. Stedi-Stock should be in every professional or beginning videographer's arsenal of tools!"




STEDI STOCK in use at 10,000 Feet while chasing ELK in UTAH by AVID OUTDOORS!

Harold,
I received the mono-pod the day after I had a difficult hunt in tall flat grassy country due to not having some sorty of 6 foot tall shooting sticks or anything to brace off of. I was super happy to see what you had come up with for the solution and right when I needed it most. I did manage to harvest a very nice blacktail the day before though! I opened the mono=pod the next day and wow it would have been great the day before, but we took out again today and we just shot a buck using it. Now I have to hike all the way back up there because I left it out there in the dark. haha uugggghh

World of Hunting Hello Steadi Stock we used your product last week and it was great. Man our camera men will probably send us a Christmas present this year for getting them the system.

Quick Release and Rifle Rest

QUICK RELEASE AND RIFLE REST

The Quick Release will attach to any Mono-Pod, Tripod, or Window mount that has a standard 1/4 x 20 camera thread.

The quick release will allow the user to attach the Stedi Stock to their Mono-Pod, Tripod or window mount, then attach the Camera, Range Finder, Spotting Scope or Video Camera to the Stedi Stock and simply slide the Quick Release into the Handle of the Stedi-Stock. This allows the user to have rigid stability and still be able to pan smoothly without having to loosen any adjustment screws. It also allows the user to immediately revert to shoulder use at a moments notice.



The Rifle rest simply slips over the quick release and works great with a Mono-Pod which not only doubles as a support for your optical device, a shooting Stick, but will serve as a walking stick in rough terrain. I personally attach this to the lanyard on my Mono-pod and then it is always handy when I am afield. It will also function great for those super large Telephoto lenses on the 35mm SLR's.
I also use it in conjunction with the Super Clamp on a bench or in a deer blind to provide a non-marring rest for my Grand Children.
