A stabilizing device for stabilizing a payload includes a handle assembly, a payload stabilization assembly, and a constant force assembly. The handle assembly includes one or more grips. The payload stabilization assembly is configured to support a payload and permit the payload to rotate about at least one axis of rotation. The constant force assembly is operably connected to the handle assembly, is configured to support the payload stabilization assembly, and includes a parallelogram linkage. The parallelogram linkage includes four pivots and a resilient member obliquely arranged within the parallelogram linkage. The constant force assembly is configured to provide a force that equipoises a gravity force of the payload stabilization assembly with the payload in a vertical direction such that a net force of the payload stabilization assembly with the payload in the vertical direction is substantially zero.
