Manfrotto 585 Modosteady Camcorder Stabilizer

Keeps
your
camera
steady
three
ways:

1) Fold the extension arm out and place the pad against your shoulder for maximum control

2) For more mobility — especially raising the camera high or bringing it down low — fold the arm down to create a counterbalanced stabilizer

3) Separate the three leaves that make up the handgrip to create a tabletop tripod.

$184.95.
