Purchased for a long handheld project but never used it since we were hiking through the wilderness all day every day. These are over $500 (see screenshot in pics).

HipShot is a tool for professional handheld camera operators that offers a stable waist- high video camera support platform. It is contoured to fit all pro-format shoulder mounted cameras as well as DSLR rigs. Stable camera operation is possible with just one hand, it’s ideal for long scenes with seated subjects, low-angle interviews, or where on-the-fly operation is desired. HipShot’s positive auto-lock keeps cameras safely supported and when not in use, HipShot easily folds down out of the way.
