Glidecam HD2000 Kit 1 Stabilizer System

Comments about Glidecam HD2000 Kit 1 Stabilizer System:

I bought this kit to use while making an independent film, and now I use it for ALL of my WEDDINGS! It really makes a huge difference on moving shots! It gives your moving shots that "smoothness" you need to make your shot look very professional. It is VERY TRICKY to learn how to use it at first, so don't expect it to magicly work for you instantly. Give it time, and PRACTICE!

You MUST balance it correctly! Go to YouTube and search for video tutorials on how to properly balance it; it's not HARD, but it is TIME CONSUMING, so have patience and DO NOT skip any steps. Also, when balancing, don't forget to add all items you will have during the shoot (camera with light, microphone, even the tape/memory card, etc.). If your camera has an LCD screen MAKE SURE it is OPEN when you balance it (every variation will slightly throw off its balance).

I HIGHLY recommend this kit to anyone who's serious about their moving shots and wants GOOD quality for a relatively low price. Sure there are much better ones out there, but they are a LOT more expensive too. Also the "kit" itself will save you some money versus buying both items separately (which you'll need anyway).

If you do professional video (weddings, events, etc) the cost of this item will pay for itself within a couple of gigs.
