    Anyone know about stabilizing the camera for video?

    Last time we needed aerial footage I had to hire a videographer, rent a $75k Sony HD video camera and a crazy mounting rig with a bunch of gyrospoces, all to go in a helicopter. Needless to say it was not cheap and the results were far from stellar - TONS of bouncing in the video, which took ages to get right in post and never looked perfect (there was not much turbulence that day, I was in the front seat of the helicopter).

    So just wondering if this would be a reasonable solution? Handheld gyroscope, no sound needed, short shots, etc..

    Would be a great justification to get one!
