Quick addition/clarification to Charles's comment for those that dont' know. The AlienRevolution is motorized and electronically leveled. -And in deed, moves in a similar fasion to the above design.
Also note that the above system would loose horizon as you went around a corner (think a bowl of water) unless it was perfectly balanced (which in turn would prevent self leveling.) Quite a chalenge! - Mikko

For the past 17 years, I've been developing a shouldermount/steadying rig that is quite different from a Steadycam. My device is not intended to allow for a moving camera, but rather to help hold it steady when the camera operator is stationary. Mine is especially useful when shooting with a long lens and with it, I rarely need to use a tripod. It has several removable segments and can be varied from a simple, lightweight thing to something weighing about 12 lbs. and very complicated. An adjustable monopod leg is one of the optional features, as is a counterweight down low. I use a different assembly of the many parts for each occasion. I hope to set up a website soon that has several photos and diagrams for building it. It's made of fiberglass, aluminum tubing, wood and stiff foam. I've used versions of it on camcorders as large as a 17-lb. Beta, down to a 2-lb TRV730.

Charles, I think you misunderstood me. I'm not the owner of the site. I just directed Kevin to the site that displayed the AR to which he was inquiring about the meaning of the word Alien. ;)
It's Howard's site the guy who helped developed the system. I saw it at IBC last year and was very impressed.
