From DigitalTrends:

Shoot smoother video like the pros with Steadicam Smoothee
The Smoothee is a Steadicam for the rest of us. It provides the same concept –a gimbaled stable platform for an iPhone, fourth-gen iPod Touch, and GoPro Hero, Hero 2, and Hero/iP4 devices. At CES 2013, they showed off the latest version for the iPhone 5. When mounted in a Steadicam Smoothee, the shakes that are common with shooting video on an iPhone are replaced by a smooth, professional-looking shooting experience. This is especially important when shooting high-definition video.

The Smoothee is built around a sturdy and durable metal frame and features an interchangeable camera mount so that it can be used with different camera options.
Standard tripod mount screw?

EDIT: Apparently not.

(Tiffen builds the Steadicam, which sells for $60,000, according to the article. This little guy will sell for $169, and additional mount heads are $24.95)
