I was listening to a podcast the other day featuring Apple founder Steve Wozniak. I found out the guy has some very interesting hobbies, one of which happens to be Segway Polo. I was glad to hear someone had finally put those enigmatic gyroscopic scooters to good use. Turns out Woz isn't the only one.

Handsfree-Transporter makes a variety of Segway-Type devices. The only thing is, they have completely removed the handlebars, and replaced them with a knee-brace steering mechanisim. This frees up the driver's hands for whatever he wants… like running a steadicam. Enter the Cam Transporter.

To anyone who has been on a Segway, this makes perfect sense. After a few initial wobblies, (yes, I tried one at the local mall) it is a very smooth, almost natural experience. I think smooth and natural are also good words to describe quality steadicam work. It seems like the perfect match and, at a top speed of around 13 mph, you could pull off some seriously cool shots with this baby.
