Yes, I know about them..I've never tried them, but there is something I do use which takes the weight off of the oboe completely...
...it's called a 'Fhred'. It's made by a company called Quodlibet. It attaches to the back of the oboe by the ring on the thumbrest (you can buy them separately from them too to put on your oboe) and the bottom of it rests on your chair when you are playing. It's basically a long stick that supports the weight, and you can adjust the height of it accordingly. You can also buy a 'sami' which is a sort of pouch that you can attach to a belt in order to use the Fhred when standing up.
Here is the website if you are interested...

These products have helped me a great deal...
