Customers say

Customers like the quality, value, ease of flying, smoothness and ease of use of the camera support. For example, they mention it's machined under high quality, makes the motion feel even smoother and it'll produce butter smooth shots. That said, some complain about the ease of using it, saying it takes some getting used to and has a learning curve. Opinions are mixed on the balance and adjustability.

Customers are satisfied with the quality of the camera support. They mention that the build is great, it's machined under high quality, and it holds up quite well. The product itself is great and one of the best steady-cam type products they have used. The handle is absolutely amazing and it has really paid off in the quality video they are producing with it. Almost 100% of it is solid metal and it'd be relatively quick to calibrate.

12 customers mention8 positive4 negative

Customers are mixed about the balance of the camera support. Some mention that it's not that hard to balance, it'll be perfectly balanced in a few minutes, and that the weights make fine tuning the balance incredibly easy. Others say that it takes some effort to get it balanced and ready to fly, and it requires much practice.

"...When using it, I never feel any wobbliness or lose bolts or any other weirdness. You can simply feel the quality just holding it...." Read more

"...This made it impossible to have perfect balance in that particular position...." Read more

"...Balancing it is not that hard if you watch the videos on the glidecam site...." Read more

9 customers mention6 positive3 negative

Customers are mixed about the adjustability of the camera support. Some appreciate the adjusting knobs which allow them to easily move the top plate. They also say the ability to micro-adjust is exactly what you need to fly. However, others say that the telescoping post was difficult to adjust up and down and that it can be a bit hard to adjust the rod length over and over again.

"...I'll point out a few. Top plate, the fine adjustments are easy to turn and even slightest move will help stabilizing the glidecam...." Read more

"...My only complaint is that it can be a bit hard to adjust the rod length over and over again–the knob could be a bit wider so you have more leverage...." Read more

"...I really appreciated the adjusting knobs which allow you to easily move the top plate during stabilizing without having to completely unscrew it...." Read more

"...'s constructed well, using quality parts and the balance and ability to micro-adjust is exactly what you need to fly your camera...." Read more

18 customers mention5 positive13 negative

Customers find the weight of the camera support to be too heavy to use without additional support. They say the weight gets stressful on their wrists after long takes or long periods of use. They also say the rig is bulkier and harder to control smoothly with overweighting.

"...is better than underweighting, but it was much harder to control smoothly with overweighting, even though I was already noticing a massive..." Read more

"...That said, though it's not exactly heavy, the weight is stressful on your wrist after long takes or long shooting days, so anyone who isn't used to..." Read more

"...assistant is female and fairly atheletic, she told me it was too heavy for her to hold for more than 30 seconds or so...." Read more

"...CONS:-You have to readjust weight if you add or take parts off your rig, such as changing lenses, adding or removing an eternal mic, etc...." Read more

The best stabilizer on the market
5 Stars
The best stabilizer on the market
This by far is the best stabilizer out on the market for this price. Built with high quality material, this tool feels nice in the hand. The gimbal is 100% perfect, no friction at all. The way to test a good gimbal is... Set camera on top, balance it then grab the handle and go around the stabilizer. If it doesn't turn as you go around you have a perfect gimbal. Getting it balanced took about 10 min for the first time then about 5 second time. Follow this process: first get the camera on top and 2 weights on the bottom. If you have a small camera, add couple weights to the top. Extend the pole so that it stays somewhat vertical.. Don't worry about the 3 second drop test yet. First you wanna have the camera balanced left-right, front-back. Once it's done, tighten the screws. Remember have the lens cover off, screen tilted the way you want it, zoom... You don't need zoom, film in widest setting possible. Any of these will affect the balance after you thought you had it. Once you are vertically leveled, now time for the drop test. Grab the base platform with the weights and hold it horizontally in front of you, then let go of it. The time from when you drop it to when it's vertical should be close to 3 seconds. After you get this done, go back to getting it vertically balanced (front back, left right). When done it is ready to fly.I only used this stabilizer twice, but I have some experience with other brands. I was able to film a car show and my footage looked so professional. It takes more then just stabilizer it self to have smooth footage. Walking is different, think of it as walking with cup of water almost full without spilling. Have soft steps. Also use your left hand to turn the pole. But make small turns.The way this stabilizer is built is what makes it easier to fly compared to others. I'll point out a few. Top plate, the fine adjustments are easy to turn and even slightest move will help stabilizing the glidecam. The base platform (bottom weight portion) is built so that it will help the stabilizer be centered. Always have the wings extended all the way out, start with 2 weights. Many stabilizers lack the extending portion out of it. This is worth every penny. I would recommend it to anyone that is getting into pro video production. Also go on YouTube and watch the 3 part video glidecam has. Very useful. Practice practice practice, don't expect to be a pro with it out of the box. Enjoy!
