Interesting, but it's really hard to figure out how this works from just the video. Some more footage (and preferably not in the mirror) of you holding and manipulating the camera might help. Also - what is the reasoning behind using a saw blade as counterweight - to make it more expensive and dangerous to use?

This Instructable is not an original. It is a rip/remake of an Instructable I mistakenly called a rip previously. The original idea belongs to Johnny Lee. I made one of these for a local high school only a bit more comfortable to use.
