For all amateurs around here, that don't mind walking around with a diy-support-rig.
There is a simple way to create relative stable footage with the help of a travel tripod.
The nice thing about it is you probably have everything in the house already.

Test it out with a piece of rope, if you like it get yourself some belt and a camera head that allows you to adjust the all axis with just one knob to get the cam level.
I use it with my BMCC camera and nikon lenses. It weights, depending on the lens attached, around 2,5kg. The full weight is on the belt and the leg in the neighbourhood of your groin (add something to end of the leg to make more comfortable). You only need a hand to focus and keep the rig from flipping over (single finger will do), so no fatigue there. Small quick release plate on top of the head and your good to go to.
It's not shoulder kind of stable, but close. Should work nice with a gimball attached to the ballhead as well.
