A camera stabilizer, or camera–stabilizing mount, is a device designed to hold a camera in a manner that prevents or compensates for unwanted camera movement, such as "camera shake".
For small hand-held cameras, a harness or contoured frame steadies the camera against the photographer's body. In some models, the camera mount is on an arm that protrudes in front of the photographer; beneath the camera is a handle grip. Another variation positions the camera atop a fulcrum braced against the photographer's chest or abdomen.
To compensate for camera instability caused by the movement of the operator's body, a camera operator named Garrett Brown invented a body-mounted stabilization apparatus for motion picture cameras, called a Steadicam, which uses springs as shock absorbers. In 1991, Martin Stevens invented a hand-held stabilizer for motion-picture cameras, called the Glidecam. Some camera stabilization machines use gyroscopes to sense disruptive motion.
Although a tripod can hold a camera stably, stationary platforms are not regarded as camera stabilizers.

Today Justin gives his personal opinion on his experience using both the DJI Ronin and Glidecam from Glidecam industries. We used the Glidecam HD 2000 with a Canon 60D and a Blackmagic Cinema camera. With the Ronin, we only used a blackmagic cinema camera with a SIgma 18-35mm lens. See how Martin Stevens Glidecam which was invented in 1991 compares to the relatively new DJI Ronin. This video is no way to sell you on a certain product but to only help inform you of the challenges you may face while using both pieces of equipment.
