The Cullmann Chestpod Magic pod allows for steady camera control by transferring the camera's weight to the body. Ideal for situations where use of monopods and tripods are impractical or prohibited. The Chestpod consists of a comfortable neckstrap which articulates to a wide rubberized base that rests on your chest. Attached to this base is an adjustable-length arm that ends with a ballhead (with quick release) with 1/4"-20 screw for attaching an SLR camera, a long lens that features a tripod collar, or a video camera.
When not actually filming, both hands are free.

Comments about Cullmann 2702 Chestpod Magic Camera Support:
I'm using this with a Panasonic HMC150 camcorder just to add some cheap stability to my videos.
I ordered both this and the Steady Stick Compact by Davis & Sanford and chose this over the latter.
It's quite stable and holds up the HMC150 very well. The tightening mechanism is nice and holds the camera in place so I can rest my hands for a bit in between shots. Also, it has a quick-release clip.
Great quality for the price...made in Germany. "Feels" high quality.
I would love to have seen the bottom portion snap into some sort of belt (it just rests on your stomach) as that would add more stability.
