DynaShoot is a support system for small camcorders weighing 2.3 to 5.2 pounds that uses gas springs and bearings to allow smooth repositioning between different shooting heights without arm fatigue.
The system is designed to be worn for extended periods of multiple hours without causing physical strain to the operator.
DynaShoot uses a video head rather than a gimbal and gas springs rather than multiple springs and pulleys, with no counterweights requiring adjustment.
The device is intended to support camera positioning and multipoint placement rather than to stabilize camera movement or substitute for tripods or stabilizers.
Operator technique and deliberate camera movement control remain the responsibility of the videographer when using DynaShoot.
The system weighs less than ten pounds total and is marketed toward event videography, documentary, news, reality television, and concert production work.

Only compatible with lightweight camcorders in the 2.3 to 5.2 pound range.
A larger model for medium-sized camcorders up to 10 pounds was reported as forthcoming at the time of discussion.
Participants disagreed on whether the design was practical, with some describing it as uncomfortable and poorly designed.
The discussion included skepticism about market demand for the product at its stated price point of approximately 1300 dollars for use with consumer cameras.
