@MrCheesyCam which is better? Glidcam HD4000 or Steadicam Merlin For 7d/60d/d7000

[MrCheesyCam]

@Rockadell The HD4000 is too big for the camera itself. It should only be used for heavy setups like camera + lens + light + microphone, etc. Instead you should be looking at the HD1000 or HD2000.

[guymhahn]

how do you focus ? without disturbing the image ?

[MrCheesyCam]

@guymhahn Set the lens so that everything is in focus. Change aperture to something like F/5.6-F/8

[0munkey0]

@MrCheesyCam sometimes you want a nice depth of felid and having everything in focus is undesirable.

[MrCheesyCam]

@0munkey0 Of course, but then you wouldn't be looking at a Steadicam Merlin. You'll need a heavier Steadicam setup with an electronic (if not wireless) follow focus system.

I'm looking around for a stabilizer eyeing out the Glidecam which one would you recommend my setup is a NIkon d7000 , nikon 24-70mm, and nikon 14-24mm ultra wide both of this lenses are heavy . looking at the HD4000 or would that be to big for my setup

[247marquettefan]

what is the thing he puts on to do those killer shots?

[maratgetmanchuk]

LOL at the resume, "pretty expensive, but some people like expensive things, i guess"

For a pro-grade cam stabilizer this is quite cheap, I would say

[skatebaker321]

$800 is so insanely ridiculous for s fucking stablizer. like $250 should be more than profitable for this.

[nesnakes]

@avonsworld Cam Caddie isn't even a Steadicam its a fricken handle how the hell would you run with that? These things are expensive for a reason because they work.

@MrCheesyCam thanks
