Nice job and funny video. Im trying to improve on your design something that would be easier / faster to adjust. Have you made any design improvements?

Considering you never see the snorricam in the footage you’re shooting with it, The appearance doesn’t really matter.

For vibration, how about Sorbothane?It’s a gooey insole material. So some in your shoes and some on the back of the chest “plate” and see if that helps. Cheap enough to throw away if it don’t

Looks a bit very silly, partly because of the wood, which is also wood colored, you would already improve on it if you painted it black.
I myself would have gone for aluminium, you can buy rods and beams for relatively cheap at most all home improvement shops, and it’s not too hard to work with since it’s not super hard to drill and it’s lightweight, and there’s something about aluminium I like, but as suggested PVC would be lighter too, and less ‘edison’ looking.
Of course you could roll with the old edison look and add some brass and stuff to make it steampunk, seems popular now, even that new scifi channel show ‘warehouse 13′ goes for the steampunk effect.

@chango

Yep and A requiem for a Dream – Darren Aronofsky directed both and is well known for his snorricam use!

vibration absorbtion though. Anyone got any ideas on that?

Thats a really cool idea. Nice and simple too. The example video (“Wake”) made me WTF. Was that a Ninja playing Golf?

I would try to get it supported from your hips, and counterweight it from the back, it should help a lot.
