Going Steady
I am getting more and more interested in working with time-based media, and I think with my background and still photography, video is the perfect next step for my visual explorations; and the 5D MK II is the perfect tool for it. However I did find camera shake to be a huge issue. I want to be able to have fluent motion in my video like cinematic films. I found this demo video and tutorial by a guy named Jean-Michel Gueugnot from France.
Luckily, the device is very easy and affordable to build yourself, so I’m going to give it a shot very soon:

Absolutely amazing. The shots look almost identical to crane shots in movies. Maybe when I buy a 5DMII in 10 years you can give me a hand making mine,
Brilliant! cheers for sharing Payam, have you had a go at making one?
