Glide Gear OH 75 Overview

From Manufacturer

Designed for overhead photo and video capture and applications such as food photography or product assembly tutorials, the OH 75 Overhead Portable Pole Rig from Glide Gear has a maximum payload of 15 lb, and it allows you to mount the included 6' long, 2-section pole on two C-stands (sold separately) and attach your camera to the pole.

Two pole clamps mount on separate C-stands using the included baby pin posts, and then the pole is secured to a clamp at each end. The system supports using any pole or speed rail between 1 to 2" in diameter, allowing you to use a shorter pole if desired. The included camera support then attaches to the pole and offers a slotted mounting platform with a 1/4"-20 screw. The camera support can be moved along the length of the pole and tightened into place with its fastening knobs. The camera support additionally offers two 1/4"-20 threaded mounting holes for attaching articulating arms or other accessories along with the camera.

Key Features
  • Includes two pole clamps and baby pin posts that secure the included pole to C-stands (not included).
  • An included camera support attaches to the pole to hold a camera overhead for applications such as food photography or product assembly tutorials.

Glide Gear OH 75 Reviews

They did not engineer this... they just built it.

I bought this to use it over my table for a repeating client project which included top down product shots.... Im actually not sure what they were thinking when they built this rig. To me, this is a fail. The clamps are not manufactured to a crisp tolerance, so the clamps can bind when you are trying to tighten them... you have to turn the knobs seemingly 200 times to remove a clamp from a pole (WHILE holding the loosely fit clamping mechanism so it doesn't bind every other of those 200 turns)... the camera mount hardware is the best part but even a that, they didn't think about the users experience... Engineering Tip 101: If you are going to load of a camera on the mount system... and are then going to clamp that mount system to hang under a round bar, you have to OFFSET the platform pad that the camera mounts to. The goal being to center as much weight OF THE CAMERA as possible directly below the bar. The farther the hardware is hanging off center below the horizontal bar, the more pounds of torque that are required to try to keep that clamp that hardware to keep it from rotating. You guys did not engineer this, you just built it. I ended up adding the horizontal bar to my overhead rigging, and keeping the stand mounts just in case I ever need a random kind of mount system.. but mostly, the $170 just went to the trash bin. I ended up buying a Smallrig Magic arm with super clamp..... easier to use and does the job instantly.

Overhead Rig is Solid; Included Pole is Questionable

Purchased this for a project where we had long (20+ minutes) overhead takes for a cooking show and it delivered. We did a test with the included 6ft pole and our Sony FX3 + a Rokinon 16mm lens and ultimately decided to use a piece of speed rail instead. While the pole we purchased didn't fail, the fact that it isn't one long pole makes it feel a little sketchy. We didn't want to risk the pole failing and pancaking the lens. The overhead rig itself which clamps down on the pole felt strong and was easy to adjust. The included 1/4 threads were very handy for monitor placement with a magic arm.

The stand mounts do not fit on a 5/8' baby pin, correct? Nor is the outside diameter 5/8" like a baby pin?

Yes it does. This comes with a pair of Male Junior/Female Baby Pin Post adapters.

Asked by: NICHOLAS
The gear doesnt come with a pole. I bought a hreen screen backdrop that has two tripods that have a pole that is connected on the top. I put the gear on that pole and yes it can spin easy but when you tighten the screws it wont spin. Its working out very good for me because the green screen kit is adjustable and it was inexpensive.
