Stabilizing my 7D for video

One of the problems of shooting video is avoiding the "shaky cam" amateur look. The Internet is littered with products that cost thousands of dollars in hopes to solve this problem.

Incredible Movies Made on the iPhone 4

It was only a matter of time before someone worked on a serious project using the iPhone 4's HD recording and editing capabilities. I admit watching these videos makes me want to buy one, but I'm still hung up on the monthly contract thing. I'm hoping the next iPod touch will have the same features minus the phone, then I'm going in feet first. Until then, enjoy.
