Hello,

In deciding which stabilizer to purchase, I have been looking for examples of film and/or video produced with various systems. I have found some nice clips and demos that range from small production companies to big-budget films.

If you have additional samples that might be of interest, including your own work, please post them. It makes great viewing on a rainy day and might generate a few ideas for some of the photographers on this list.

The links I have found are listed below. Enjoy!

One of these fine days I'll get my reel up on the web. It's a truly embarrassing reality that I don't have a web site, but I do have one planned for the near future. This was a good reminder.

Charles,
Your current lack of a Web presence my be an embarassment to you. But when you eventually rectify this situation I can guarantee that the demo reels you post to your site will embarass those of us who dabble in motion stabilizers.

Not that I am any kind of web guru, but I certainly can help you put a site up. Have a look at mine to get an idea of a nice but low-tech approach. www.moorefilms.com

I would expect no remumeration from you just a thank you if you are interested.

Much obliged Taylor. I do actually have folks who are ready to do it locally as soon as I can get them the materials. I'm a real stickler (aka pain in the arse) to work with when it comes to graphic design, so you wouldn't want to go there, trust me!

Here's another website with stabilizer video. These videos were made with a homemade stabilizer. Fun to watch:
