Gopro steadycam

I wanted to capture sharper images with my GoPro, so I created this design. Unfortunately, it's still a work in progress - the bearings in the glide cam center block aren't spinning smoothly yet. To fix that, I might need to upgrade them with some high-quality bearings from Amazon. Here's a link to what I'm looking at: https://www.amazon.com/Lictin-Bearings-Rollerblade-Component-Skateboards/dp/B073XLXZKG/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1510004515&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=bearings&psc=1 The bearings I'm using are actually 3D printed ones, and they're built right into the design. The balls inside these custom bearings are 6 mm airsoft BBs. I didn't come up with this bearing design - someone else on Thingiverse already made it, and you can check out their version here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:56298. I'm still working on a better version of the design, hoping to improve its functionality.
