Hopefully the TX1 blog picks up but I'll surely be posting about it. I'm currently following dpreview, steve's digicam, and a few other forums. There's just not a whole lot of discussion about the TX1. I looked into that DIY stabilizer. Maybe a smaller scale version will work but it would still probably take up a lot of space. Maybe a smaller version of the <a href="http://www.b-hague.co.uk/Camcorder Stabilizer HCS3.htm" rel="nofollow">Hague MMC (Mini Motion Cam)</a> would be awesome. The flickr group has died down considerably too but at least it's there. http://www.flickr.com/groups/400773@N22/ Thanks Bill. Hopefully the TX1 blog picks up but I’ll surely be posting about it.

I have 2 of them and really love the quality of the video and photos. The default stabilazation is decent, but a rig like you described would be cool. Check out http://powershot-tx1.blogspot.com/ for some more info on this kick-butt little camera. Glad you went with the TX1, you will love it.
