Has anyone else seen this?   1250 US on E-Bay.  This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

I looked at one of the videos and it has serious pendulum problems in that clip.  It appears to be a hand-held  with an arm upgrade.  Pretty stange way of holding sled.

Looks like a manual, and very portable, jib setup.

Well, you could always put a gyro harness between the two of them so they move in unison  and an LCD on one of their heads  (probably the person in front)  --then it might work.  Stairs would be a bitch. Grin
