Here’s another new small company with a good idea. It’s the Stedi-Stock optical stabilizer that will keep your camera-camcorder, range finder or spotting scope steady and stable, even while panning or following your target. It looks like a short gun stock, 14 inches long, 4.25 inches high and one inch wide. It weighs just six ounces and is made of tough, high-strength nylon construction and includes a stabilizer brace, attachment handle and shoulder strap. Suggested retail price is $29.95 (www.Stedistock.com).
Dear Stedi-Stock,


I used my new StediStock for 94 pictures at the Oregon Gardens Thursday last (May 22nd). It is a handy little accessory. I taped a remote shutter trigger on the right side front (I am right handed) where I could reach it handily with my forefinger - this leaves my left hand free to adjust the lens. Attached is a photo of me using the StediStock - you may use the photo as you wish. I am not a professional, just a serious amateur. Hal Scheyer
commonly very heavy, as weight is sometimes needed to counterbalance the camera on your shoulder. They are also generally very cumbersome due to their size and shape; which makes them awkward to carry and transport when not in use, especially if you don’t detach them from your video camera. The typical shoulder mount stabilizers are also very expensive with prices starting at approximately $69 to well over a few hundred dollars. Stedi-Stock has perfected the shoulder mounted stabilizer for the amateur and professional videographer! The lightweight, ingenious gun-stock shape fits right into your shoulder and makes filming your hunt or camera work as steady as aiming a rifle. The simple design makes it easy to steady your video without a counterbalance and will allow your other hand to be free to operate the camera controls. It was very stable panning over scenery. I was able to get centered on the shots quickly when capturing deer and coyote, even when they were moving.

I was extremely impressed with how light it was (6 ounces!), especially since I was use to my other heavy video stabilizer. When not in use, I love being able to detach it and throw it in my gear bag. My other video stabilizer was annoying to carry around when we were done filming; the counterbalance became an overly imbalanced object no one wanted to hold onto.
The Stedi-Stock can also be mounted to spotting scopes, 35mm cameras, or any equipment with a standard camera mount. The plastic nylon design is weatherproof, and the package includes a shoulder strap and attachment handle. There many accessories that are available to mount your equipment on a truck window, in your tree stand, ground blind, or anything you want to get the right shot!
If you’re not using a camera stabilizer for filming, you’re probably editing a lot of shaky footage. I’d recommend Stedi-Stock before any other type of shoulder mount stabilizer for all of these reasons. The product works very well. Its best feature is the price. It’s an incredible deal at $29.95 and should be a necessary essential in your video gear.

On target- I picked up a Stedi-stock brace and was able to take the system on our last hunting trip in Texas. We were going to be doing a lot of stocking Javelina so I wanted to make sure to be real steady. After receiving the system and putting it to use I found that not only is the brace affordable and lightweight, it also does really good job of stabilizing my camera. I run a Sony HD cam and I think the brace is recommended for smaller handheld cams but it worked great. I would definitely recommend this brace to beginners and pros.
Off target- After several days of using the camera I found a couple modifications I would make to enhance the brace even more and I don’t think they would jeopardize the low cost at all. One, I would add some sort of padding to the stock of the brace, and second I would add a locking mechanism so I wouldn’t have to keep tightening the camera down. After a while the camera would loosen and rotate.
Check the braces out for yourself. You won’t be disappointed. www.stedi-stock.com
