FLYCAM Flowline 400N Stabilizing Body Support for Camera & Gimbal(8-10Kg/17-22lb). Ergonomic & Comfortable, Increases Shot Stability. Height Adjustable, Front & Back Setup Positioning (FLCM-FLN-400N)

I have had this for about a year now. It was not a very busy year so this rig saw very little use. Yes, it functions much like the real thing. What prompted the review? I just finished replacing the cord. The upside is that the kit included an extra cord. The downside is that there is no instructions on how to do it. Over the year I have replaced the plastic buckle on the belt. One of the support rods came un bolted, pretty simple repair. The padding and adjustments just don't feel as comfortable as the real thing. I didn't buy the real thing nor could I afford to. If you're thinking about getting one of these budget rigs, know that you are going to have to maintain it. Still better than nothing at all.

Works great!

Has some quirks but can hold a lot of camera, not quite as comfy as an easy but more comfortable than not having one.

It technically does the job and is holding up, but the waist belt is incredibly uncomfortable--it doesn't wrap around far enough and so it digs into your hips and causes raw spots. It's better than nothing and so I end up using it, but I typically regret it.The storage bag is also too small to store the unit effectively--you have to really jam it in there every time and half the time it ends up just kinda half in/half out of the bag because it's too much of a process.
