    Yes, I'm planing on doing it:nerd:

    Code named "Rhett" will support Scarlet giving you those ActionCam moves for the smaller cam's. I have two options and can only do one, so I need your help to decide.

    Option 1: Hand held, something like a "steadicam Merlin", only a bit bigger, but with an innovative approach, making it easier to operate Price approx. USD 1000.-

    Option 2: With back mounted Vest, single-action (one segment) spring arm (80cm lift) and "classic" post. Price approx. USD 2000.-

    Personally I don't like hand held stabilizers, because I always get a cramp in my arm - on the other hand, they're small and low cost.

    So please add to the poll, so I can get to work

    I'm voting for hand-held, but I'm biased... Since I'll already have the bigger ActionCam for RED anyway. If I want to put on the vest and have the arm, I'll use it adjust weight as needed to fly Scarlet.

    ...Now we're also making a pretty big assumption about what Scarlet is. If it's truly a "pocket camera", that to me says hand-held is the way to go.

    I second that, a pocket professional camera needs a pocket professional ActionCam. But it depends on the size of Scarlet. If its size is similar to the Canon HV20, hand held is an option. Even then upgrading with a vest would be nice. ;-)

    I voted fro handheld as I think the Scarlett user will want a lower cost solution.
