It all started with the sensational announcement of MoVi. The possibilities with this gyro-stabilzing system are incredible. The technology of the gyro system isn’t a new concept but this new interpretation gives all filmmakers a new instrument to realize their creative ideas. Mindcut blog has created a compilation of all current systems.

The Good: Yes! Breathtaking shots, very smooth, new creative shooting will ensue everywhere.

The Bad: Every Tom, Dick, and Harry on this planet will get one and compete against you, the seasoned professional. They'll charge half price, or maybe less than you for their services because they're doing it "for fun."

The guys who fly cameras on quadcopters have come up with some very cost-effective systems that are amazingly good at stabilizing cameras.
