Checking on Kickstarter, the universe of cool ideas, we found the PicoSteady.

A video camera stabilizer for iPhones, Smartphones, Point-and-Shoot cameras, and DSLRs.

It will work with almost any camera including: point-and-shoot cameras, GoPro cameras, the iPhone, and most smartphones. It also works great with DSLR’s like the Canon T2i or Nikon D5100.

The standard 1/4-20 thumbscrew will allow you to mount most cameras and the included universal smartphone holder will allow you to use the Picosteady with any smartphone or iPhone.

Its ultra light weight (6.5 oz/180 g) and very compact size (5″ x 6.5″) means you’ll actually carry it with you, greatly improving any footage you shoot, from home video to amateur film.

It will retail at $179 (right now, it is available for kickstarters at a lower price of $139, so hurry up!).
