Hi Tech Selfies Stick

I think I found the perfect replacement for all of my tripods and finally I'll be able to get steady selfie video while I dance..check this out. As a side note I plan to have a fine collection of tripods available for purchase very soon if this works out.

I think that the tunes cost extra Mike. Back in the 80's I had one of the original "Steady-cams" which at the time was just a bottom heavy hand grip on a gimble joint but it worked pretty well with a hi-8 video camera on top of it. That rig made it onto the dance floor for those walk-around slow pan shots that you see in dirty dancing and all those John Travolta movies. Stairs, boats, even skateboards it did it all. Things have certainly evolved.

does the guy come with it? he would serve as a great distraction while i shoot pictures of things.

i can't imagine wearing that silly looking thing, its like i was modified at the same place robocop was, though i do wonder how much weight it can hold, and will it lift the camera up for me so i don't have to use my arms much at all... it would be really useful if i could stick it way over my head and get a shot.

Imagine that same guy walking down the street taking a selfie vid while carrying his tunes is an over-sized cassette stereo deck like Dan Akroyd on SNL. I think a guy might just attract a little attention from the ladies especially a sharp-dressed man like the guy in the video.
