Last year, I purchased a Steadycam Curve specifically for GoPro. The GoPro is such a lightweight camera, so counterbalancing becomes a nightmare.

I brought it to slalom training one night which lit Alex's eyes up (you can actually hear him say "oh wow" as he was existing the rink, which made him do a 180 to check this gadget out.

All sorts of attempts at trying to get it balanced were made, including Alex gently blowing on the camera to guide it, but of course, it still swivels around like its got its own mind.

It's either an expensive handle or perhaps some more persistence with it is required. Who knows, but Im glad to see that I wasn't the only one having trouble with it!
