Nice work. Do you feel this setup is adequate to support the weight of the XL2? Thanks.

[stuart29soton]

Yes the Glidecam 4000 Pro is man / women enough for the Canon XL2 :)

Was this filmed using the Canon XL2 Camcorder?

If it is it's excellent quality

[stuart29soton]

[fcrabbath]

Cool, very informative.

ok maybe i'm missing somethig... but when balancing, you say "push it left or right if its side heavy" How the heck do you do that?!

mine wont slide sideways..

@stuart29soton .if you set it up without mounting your monitor your balance will be all wrong. you should add all the bis first. monitor, cabling etc, then balance.

Can you use the glidecam while still having your mic/viewfinder attatched?

[MinorFilms]

Will this rig work with the viewfinder and/or mic still on? if not, how can you still see and hear what the heck you're filming?
