What do you all think of this thing? Looks clever but I don't know how useful it would really be.

A friend of mine bought one. Good quality however he hardly uses it. He uses his tripod with a wimberley head 98% of the time. However he can afford every new toy that comes along. I tried his once and you sure have to be able to keep it steady. Very difficult to keep in place while waiting for the right shot.

I would think it might be nice to have for handheld shots where you need freedom to pan and move, like birds in flight. Other than that, I'm not sure I'd want to use it much. I think Fred Thompson may have built one of these of his own - maybe he'll stop by and offer his opinion, or you could try to contact him.
