Stand-alone DSLR is too front heavy, unbalanced for hand-held cinematography. I like the concept. Bring on the D800 with 1080/24p, mic input etc Definitely needs a shoulder mount.

Movie makers? That thing would not last 10 minutes on the set of your average movie, even leaving aside how ridiculous it would be to use the current Canon or Nikon DSLR video technology. Wedding videographers perhaps? Certainly not, as it isn't the type of thing you would want in crowded areas (unless you have a substantial insurance policy covering the loss of eyes). Press videographers? Who would let someone with that device anywhere near a news conference?!! Home movies and family videos? There are much less troublesome ways to make crappy videos. Yep, this is probably the most useless device I have seen in a long time. These things aren't meant to go beyond the funny sketch stage :-) Who on earth would want to use one of those?

Looks like a nice alternative to a monopod. Does this kit allow making still shots? Looks like a nice alternative to a monopod.

Since when does a just-above-cellphone quality video camera becomes pro video gear? I don't get this. Don't get me wrong, I think the ability to record movies in the D90 is a very nice to have feature, but it doesn't even start to compare with a remotely decent pro video camera...

Let them be. It does help to get more stable video out of the camera. Looks too dorky to me though. Just something for them to capitalize on. Let them be.
