  • Re: "it takes 4 to 6 months" to learn how to use the Glidecam. In truth it may take several years. I know of one person who has been struggling with it for decades.

  • I am sorry for not being more specific. I meant, if one were to purchase it, expect to spend at least 6 months of usage to learn how to operate. I never said at a professional level. But at a level perhaps compitent enough to perform some basic operation for a project. It is the amount of time it took me to farmiliarize myself with the devise. After 2 years i can fly extremely well.

  • ight. this is because of the physical build of the unit. IT does not extend enough of the shaft to use heavier cameras.

    What do the letters IT stand for?

  • It being the devise.

  • nice demonstration! Would you know if there is any major difference between this and the merlin steadicam? Glidecam seems to be half the price of a standard Merlin

  • the Merlin steadicam is made by Tiffen, who created the original Steadicam. The Glidecam is more of a knockoff, however it does the same job. The Merlin's design is much easier on the wrist, as the gimbal is directly over the grip, where as this one is placed several inches in front, straining your wrist more. But yeah, you get what you pay for, and this thing works fine for my needs. If you can afford it, get the Merlin, if not, this will do just as well. Hope that helps!

  • God, I wish they weren't so pricy. If you're a videographer, then you can probably get it to pay for itself after a project or two but if you're just shooting for fun, this may drain you good.

  • where have i heard this song before?! Great vid.

  • Hello!

    How many weights do you use?

    Nice video!

  • it is a brilliant device save for the immovable gimbal...but even then, it can be balanced properly and made to yield great footages!!

  • Wow, this is incredible!! Would you recommend the body attachment to a person like myself extremely short on money? I am considering buying this but purchasing the body attachment will cost all of my money.

    Also, do you also have to actually "learn" how to operate it?

    Thanks a ton!

  • What is the differences between a Glidecam and a Steadycam?

  • best stabilizations

  • Editing would be easoer i guess b/c you can get way more useable footage

  • Nice
