Shoulder Rest Gimbal
Shoulder Rest Gimbal

UPDATE:
Remodeled the caps for the bearings, as I had uploaded an out-of-date version of the caps for the frame.
This is a large gimbal that allows the user to rest part of the frame against their shoulder, and have wide grips for a more controlled grip. The gimbal uses standard 608 ball bearings to ensure the camera stays level at all times. Beneath the camera is a threaded rod which you can add nuts to in order to help as a counterweight for the camera. This simple setup is sturdy enough for medium-sized cameras when printed fairly tough (i.e.4+ perimeters, %40+ infill) and helps to create homemade videos a lot easier and smoother too. Feel free to comment or leave suggestions for improvements on this design! I hope you enjoy this model!

This is what I started with. I found that a lot of the parts supplied didn't meet my needs. Will be uploading my remix(es) soon.
