I got all of the directions on Johny Chung's Website ( http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/steadycam/ ). I read the note that in order to use larger cameras, a longer bottom bar must be used with a shorter top bar. My Bottom rod is 18", and the top rod is 6". It worked pretty perfectly for the XL1. It gets heavy after a while, but who doesn't love a good workout? Also, I took advantage of Johny's design for supporting larger camera's.
