It's... a piece of wood. I can't get over that.

Has anybody ever used this?! This seems wacky (I still can't get over it being a piece of wood).

Because I haven't used this product, I can't figure out if it's brilliant or the opposite of that.
 
It's actually more than a piece of wood:

It reminds me of PlankCam which was used in Blood Simple for the shot outside the house going up to the front door.
 
This thing is great I have somewhere to put my coffee & sandwiches while I shoot.
 
actually I think it looks pretty cool. for someone shooting with a sub-5 pound camera, this looks like an attractive, versatile accessory.

Not to mention affordable.

Wonder if I can get it in a glossy sunburst finish?

I don't think this product is so crazy after all. Though if you're walking/running with it, it doesn't look like it stabilizes the up/down movements.
 
It's a desert topping!

It's a floor wax!

It's a desert topping AND a floor wax!

Sorry I'm not a pro at photoshop, but this looks like it'd be a useful camera accessory!
 
...don't forget to pick up a can of Varathane to give that accessory years of useful life...
 
I actually made on of those about 8 years ago for my palmcorder, thinking it was such an amazing solution. It wasn't. I didn't even use it once.

I propose a contest to see who can find the stupidest piece of "easy solution" equipment out there...

For example... the TurtleX system... MSRP? $1385...
