So.. glidecam HD 4000 is good for Rebel t2i? (550D)

[peti1212]

@TehFoxit No, unless you have a battery grip and a really heavy lens. If you have the stock lens without anything extra, so just 550D and stock lens, HD-1000 is good, if you have a better and heavier lens than the stock lens, go with the HD-2000, Only go with the HD-4000 if you are going to use a battery grip, a heavy lens and extra accessories.

@krisflow I would recommend the HD-2000.

Hello, I have a Steadicam I mount hd 2000 on my Canon 5D mark 2 lens on Canon

16-35 2.8.

As soon as you unmount the plate Glidecam, To use dollies to carry out,

reassemble in the Balance disappears.

Can anyone explain it?

who has a cam that weights 10pounds??

[goldenguy12345]

I have a a Canon EOS 550D with a rode video mic...

What would be better for me? 2000 or 4000?

Is it Heavy cause your hand is shaking?

[tehJESSEH]

@peti1212 Could you go with the 4000 to "future proof" your investment? What if I don't currently have accessories like an external mic, monitor, lenses etc., but may consider adding them in the future? Is it simply not usable if you don't have the weight?

[MegaTigerUppercut]

@garfieldsowhat He might have been exaggerating on purpose to show how stable it is.
