New Glidecam HD 1000 out for a test run. Never used one of these before. This is the first test outside with the glidecam and I thought I would go for a quick run. Using a Sony HDR-SR11 with Opteka wide angle lens. No stabilization used on camera.

  • thansk for the test but why the cam always leaning to the left, it suppose to be two hands like the merlin or something?

  • @themorningperson - This was basically my first day using the glidecam. When you get the balancing figured out with your specific camera, it won't lean. Operating the glidecam is a two hand operation - one hand holding the weight and the other hand just doing the fine adjustments and pan movements. Practice helps you get the feel of your glidecam. I recommend picking one up if you are filming while moving. Hope this helps. Thanks for your comment.

  • @bayerdv82 what is the price difference on a glidecam 1000 and 2000?

  • @whole27 - The price difference listed on the glidecam website is $399 for the HD100 and $499 for the HD2000. Check out their site for more details. Also, the Glidecam HD2000 is for cameras weighing from 2 to 6 lbs. Hope this helps you out.

  • That is the regular footage. I didn't make any edits or changes. This was basically my first day with any type of camera stabilizer so I was happy with the results. I have gotten much better since practicing more. I recommend the Glidecam if you are on a budget and want a quality tool.
