5 out of 5 stars Works great for me!   August 26, 2010

Bought this through Amazon as well as the Camcorder and have not had any problems with either purchase.

I have an HD2000A Sanyo Camcorder that needed a little help in staying steady dept. I love this device because its freed me up to the point I can move around and take video without the constant worry of shaking. I have a pretty steady arm already and I am guessing my camcorder is just a good fit for this device since the review before me has had such trouble with it.

I can only speak for me, and it has worked just fine. Also its an awesome tripod too. Talk about flexibility? This device can film around corners (almost :)

1 out of 5 stars Product does not work at all   August 8, 2010

We are giving the Monosteady a 1 star because a 0 star is not offered as an option.

We bought a Manfrotto MonoSteady stabilizer to use with a small video camera. We're pretty good at using video equipment, but the MonoSteady absolutely, categorically did not work. We studied the instruction sheet that came with it and followed instructions exactly as described, we watched Manfrotto's demonstration videos on YouTube (you'll notice they make it look SO easy, a caveman can do it - excuse the pun! ;) But in reality it was impossible to use. It never balanced no matter how many ways we tried to make it work.

We went back to the store we bought it from and asked the video experts there to help us figure out how to use it, but even THEY could not balance it. We took the MonoSteady to Italy and met some Italian videographers videotaping a festival and we figured - Hey, Manfrotto is an Italian company, maybe the Italians know how to use the MonoSteady! The entire group of pro videographers could NOT balance the MonoSteady no matter how hard they tried.

Figuring maybe we got a bad model, we bought another one. Yes, HUGE mistake. It did not work either. The biggest waste of $200+ ever!

It's such a colossal disappointment that we did not even attempt to sell the MonoSteadies...we could not in good conscience inflict Manfrotto MonoSteady on another unsuspecting victim.
