The Glidecam X-45 Stabilizer with Anton/Bauer Base is a professional body-mounted camera stabilizer designed for film or video cameras weighing up to 45 lb. The system allows the operator to walk, run, ascend, and descend stairs, as well as shoot from moving vehicles and travel over uneven terrain without camera instability.
Glidecam X-45 Sled
The full-featured, precision support Glidecam X-45 sled is designed to carry film and video cameras weighing up to 45 lb, and it incorporates 12V integrated wiring.
Adjustable Precision Head
The precision x/y adjustable head assembly incorporates a drop-in style dovetail camera plate for quick front-to-back balance. Finely tuned ergonomic knobs control front-to-back and side-to-side balance adjustments.
"No-Tools" Engineering
The sled's "no-tools" precision gimbal incorporates four bearings inside the handle-to-yoke connection (the tilt axis). There are two bearings on each side of the yoke, providing four bearings for the roll axis. A very tight knurling has been machined onto the gimbal tube to improve handling, with the handle grip covered by easy-to-replace soft foam.
Rigid Telescoping Post
The Glidecam X-45 sled sports a solid 1.75" central post and a "no-tools" telescoping post. This allows for easy adjustment of the sled length and position of the LCD and batteries.
Dedicated Connectors
Three dedicated video BNC connections are located on the base and head assembly. The Glidecam X-45 central post power/video cable can handle composite, component, and HD-SDI video. Two 2-pin LEMO connectors are also located on the base and head assembly.
