Abstract: A stabilizer apparatus for use with video devices that provides smooth video images. The stabilizer device comprises a gimbal system operably attached to a counterweighted pole. A video device operably attached to the top end of the pole can be balanced utilizing two or more opposing counter weights operably connected to the pole. The gimbal system is affixed to the pole and maintains the balance of the video device. A handle device attached to the gimbal system allows the stabilizer apparatus to be moved during video production, while maintaining the balance of the video device.
