With the Glidecam 4000 PRO your camcorder floats, always balanced, isolated from your hand's undesirable motions. This lightweight, hand-held camcorder stabilizing system allows you to shoot incredibly smooth and graceful shots, even while running up and down stairs or traveling over rugged terrain. This kit adds the low mode FX kit for smooth low angle moving shots.
Compact Size
The 4000 Pro is 18" tall and supports any camcorder weighing up to 10 pounds.
Operational Capabilities
Offset handle grip is attached to a free-floating precision Gimbal, allowing hand movement up and down and side to side, thereby isolating unwanted hand interference from the camera. The up and down movement alleviates the bouncing pogo-type action associated with other systems whose handles can't move up and down.
Variable Applications
You can shoot upside-down, sideways, low near the ground, overhead and angled, as in a Dutch shot.
Mechanics
The system's free floating, precision gimbal includes integrally shielded bearings, two of which are housed in the unique Offset Handle grip. These precision bearings create the super-smooth and pivotable connection between your arm and the unit's Central Support Post.
Balance
The camera platform moves back and forth and side to side, allowing quick adjustment of your camera's horizontal balance. Camera's vertical balance is adjusted by varying the amount of counterweight disks on the base platform. When balanced properly the camera floats, ready for you to move into action.
Optional Monitor
For remote viewing, an optional LCD monitor can be attached to the mounting holes on the base platform.
Low Mode FX Kit
The Glidecam Low Mode FX Kit for the Glidecam 2000/4000 Pro Stabilizer allows users to safely use their video cameras to film from low-angles without crawling on the ground. The kit consists of a handle clamp that affixes to the top of a video camera, a 16" telescoping post to vary the distance from the 2000/4000 Pro support platform to the camera, as well as a 12" extension tube for further reach. The mounting hardware to affix all parts together is included.
