Cheap stabilizer but not DIY

I know this is overkill, but I want something like the Steadicam Merlin or the Hague Mini Motion-Cam but I don't want to pay for something that costs as much or more than the camera!

I've seen the Flip Float DIY project in action, which is pretty nice, but I don't think I have the patience or the skills to put something like that together www.protodojo.com­/content­/2009­/01­/mini­-camera­-stab...

Anybody have any other suggestions?

Wait for Zi10 ;) Or don't. Or go full camera-wize with Panasonic TZ7 and get x12 zoom as well.
I am actually going to buy Zi8. I know that it lacks really useful stabilizer but its not a deal-stopper
