Years ago I saved an old TV stand/arm from being thrown away because I thought it might work halfway decent as a makeshift steadicam arm. I recently moved so I was cleaning out my closet and found the old stand. And have been trying to figure out whether I wanted to save it or throw it away.
Has anybody ever thought about using one of these for a smart gun? It may not have the shock absorption or quite the level of articulation as a real steadicam rig, but for somebody that just wants to get most of the way there it could be a cheap/easy way to setup a smartgun rig.
I can take pictures at home, but it's a close enough size and it's obviously meant to support a heavy TV. The only thing is the arm itself probably weighs 10-15 pounds (although this includes a heavy clamping plate and bolt to mount it to a sturdy desk/table).
It's actually pretty close to this monitor/keyboard setup below. I removed the large plate that would have held the TV though.
