Dusted off the rollerblades and did some initial tests in the skate park with both a Canon 5DMKII and a Canon 600D, mounted to a Glidecam HD-4000.
This was purely a experimental day. Got a lot out of it. Unfortunately didn't have a wider lens handy.
Only used a 24-70mm. Will use the 16-35 and other wides next time.

YESS hardcore blading! I've been using a Cam Caddie Scorpion for the past year and I highly recommend it over any low-cost stabilizer. $38 and all my videos are incredibly smooth, with an obvious professional quality.

I would be way to paranoid to take a 5D on rollerblades.

@ZeDBeE85 well they i guess you could say "hired" me to film the team members. we might both have different views on "sponsored", but skating wise, being sponsored is recieving and promoting a companys products, in my case, skateboards. i recieve free skateboards and product in exchange.

@TheSideSalad Like I said... its the best use of the glidecam I'VE ever seen on youtube... I'm sure many people can use a skateboard/roller skates, buts i know it takes skill to pull it off.. recently got my glidecam and still trying to master it. Its a tricky device which I'm sure i'll master it soon
