Not a Pod camera stabilizer??

Anyone try one of these things? Its hard to tell, but it looks like it clips to a belt and has these 2 arms that come up and hold your camera. I'm guessing there is a strap that goes around your neck to hold from falling? I'm thinking this might be pretty slick to have, but wondering how it might be to maneuver around with.

I made one by jury rigging some equipment, some time back, and used it for a while. I ultimately found it too cumbersome and constricting when moving around. I use monopods and Gorilla Pods mostly.

It looks more like it is designed for video.
