Glide Gear SYL-500 Video Camera Stabilizer.
I saw this at Adoroma for $20. Would this give benefit of hand held(Quick tracking) and tripod(steady base)?
Here's a video of it.

If you look at the sample footage in the video, I can see it's not stable when panning. I don't like it at all. Maybe that's why it is so cheap. I wouldn't shoot video without a tripod. Some video cams are supposed to have good stabilization systems like the Sony BOSS system, but any video not shot on a tripod is hard for me to watch. It makes me seasick.
