@bobyo4 No, I do not, but I make films as a hobby.

can the glidecam 4000 still work on light cameras like the t2i with the kit lens? i was looking into purchasing a glidecam 2000 or 4000 (i currently have a t3i) just incase i was going to upgrade to a bigger camera in the future.

@MrCarseallday I wouldn't recommend it since you will have trouble with it stabilizing. I would suggest the HD2000, but that might also be pushing it a bit with the kit lens because I have a friend who ordered it that way and he had a bit of a trouble working with the HD2000. If I were you I would get a battery grip for the lens like the one from Opteka, and then you should be able to use it with the HD2000 without any problems. Put a nicer lens on it too and now you are up at the HD4000 level.

I have that setup too, it's too heavy for the 1000, and I would even say too heavy for the 2000 though plausible it would be pushing it, I have the HD 2000 and I mostly just use the tokina 11-16 or the 24-105 on there because anything bigger like the 24-70 is too heavy. I would definitely say save up and hold out for the HD 4000.

Man, this short rocks.

[AlexandherFilms]

Will the HD1000 work for a t3i and tokina 11-16mm lens?

[simtse]

Any idea if a Canon 60D with a Canon EF 24-70mm F2.8 would work with the Glidecam 1000?. I am not sure if I should spend the extra money to get the 2000 if I don't need it.

I'm trying to decide between the HD2000 & HD4000. Is it possible to balance a camera that's only 3 lbs on the HD4000? It lists the minimum weight as 4lbs. The setups I am planning are 3 lbs and 4 lbs, which work for the HD2000, but I kind of wanted it to be able to use a heavier camera 7lbs or so if needed.
