Ted, it looks like your link to Hague does not work.

Your clients are fortunate to be working with an agent who has the tools to take good pictures.

This sounds like a great tool for those of us who are shooting our own video. I too would like to see some video you shoot with this. Before and after video would be terrific showing how the video turns out without the stabilizer and after using the stabilizer.

Thanks for the link. I'd love to see a future post on how well the camera stabilizer works for real estate videos.

FYI - $150 for a single visual tour? Most of the companies we use charge anywhere from $10 for a single tour to $30 a month.

Hague did a great job of showing how to set it up correctly with realistic trial and error sequences. Ted, have fun with your new found steadiness! I certainly hope a few get posted here.

Scott, It depends on the company. The charges are different. Visual tours are just glorified slide shows of our listing photos.

I do not use the stabilzer as much as a did when I wrote that post three years ago. I am constantly refining and the camera I moved to is a little heavier and is probably at the limit for the device so my results are not as good as I would prefer.

This video I used it on the walkthrough. I think the car shot was my son just holding the camera. I can't remember. http://youtu.be/t-B9dNFbRfY

This was shot mostly with the stabilizer http://youtu.be/Ei5fGtm7Hao
