Amazon.com Product Description
VariZoom's most affordable shoulder brace, the VZ-1Shooter provides a stable shooting platform for small to medium cameras. The VZ-1Shooter is made of a special aluminum alloy that lets you bend the support into the desired position, making it far more versatile and easy to use than other supports. Add in a series of adjustable fittings and you'll enjoy an endless variety of shooting configurations. It's like having an elastic glove that adjusts to fit nearly anyone, big or small. The shoulder brace is even handier when paired with a VariZoom lens controller, such as the PGL, Pro-L, or StealthZoom, as the combination lets you capture superior-quality video in comfort and style. Tough, lightweight, and built to last a lifetime, the VZ-1Shooter is a must for entry-level digital videographers.

This shoulder support is quite bulky, but it is really a good thing to have when you record long events as religious ceremonies, parties or other kind of events. I agree it is a problem to transport it but when you use it you may forget this inconvenience. The shoulder pad is confortable and you can fit most cameras available. I have tried with a simple camcorder to a professional 3CCD camera. Just remember, the bigger the camera is, your arm will suffer the concequences. Depnding on hog long you pan to film, should consider to rest for about 10 minutes to get rest. However it allows you to get a very steady image. How many events were kind of spoiled because the image was not very still? So this is a good item that being not so expensive I would recommend to those who are semi-profesional or serious amamteur film makers

This product was what I was looking for. I have a HV20 camcorder and a Letus35 FE 35mm adapter. When combined and installed on a rig the setup is quite large. So with a product like this, it is very easy to get steady shots and it makes it easier to pull focus.
