Reddit mentions of DVC 17837 DSLR Flycam Nano Camera Stabilizer with Free Quick Release (Black)

This was well edited, but the amateurish shots let it down - that first pan looked like a dolly slide and I got excited!

A few tips for your friend:

• Buy a Flycam Nano. It's a little weighted contraption with a gimbal handle that from the moment you strap a camera onto it will change your fucking life. Watch how steady this guy's shots are as he chases his daughter around a playground.
  
• For shots where you're on a board yourself, consider buying an X-Grip, or make one yourself out of 20mm PVC from Bunnings. Or make a DIY Fig Rig, or dangle your camera upside-down on your tripod. The basic message to take away is: never shoot any video on a DSLR without the camera attached to something bulky.
  
• Try to avoid having camera crew in your shots. It ruins suspension of disbelief and people start looking for them in the background, and not watching the story you're trying to portray.
  
  Otherwise, cool vid!

The shoulder pad and matte box are terrible, but the rest is strong and works great, especially for the price.
I use it with my 60D and twisted the shoulder pad so it fits under my armpit, which works pretty well. Even without the matte box and shoulder pad I'd still have bought it.

I know this recently went on sale, haven't bought it but may in the future. I've read some good reviews

What kind of videos do you want to do? The Flycam Nano DSLR is a good option for more cinematic shots and something like a Manfrotto monopod will work well for most situations.

Here is it

Also get a new quick release, the thing that comes with it is garbage

I haven't used it personally but the flycam nano is pretty popular. It costs much less than Steadicams or Glidecams at $170 USD.
