You own all this expensive equipment, but then wanna cheap out on stabilization? C'mon.

Last week I got a glidecam 2000 pro on ebay for $125 shipped in great condition...

It's really not that difficult to search around man..i'll get you started though

You could just use a conduit box for where the camera sits so its more stable too

I looked at that. I rather just spend some cash than making my own.

Why not just use your glidecam? It the right tool for follow cams, posting up and everything in between.

An xgrip is $20-30 based on where you get it.

yo cdip, chill the fuck out.

Idk why everyone's downvoting heath, he's pretty right. cdip's literally been posting at least once a week about new shit to buy as if it'd majorly help his filming in some capacity.

You want something to just whip out that's not a glidecam? make your own fig rig out of pvc. It's not gonna be less unwieldy though lol.

Your posts are a nuesense. You could simply search Google for every thread you make, then someone does research for you and you shut them down cause you already looked at everything. All grips/wheels/whatever are the fucking same we don't have some secret for you that were hiding. You make too many threads, do some research like the rest of the world.

Or stop being an idiot and just use your glidecam. You can shoot everything you want with a glide cam and it'll help you be more smooth.

also if your too lazy to spend $5 and 5 minutes to build one out of pvc and would rather throw money at it I dont think you'll even bother filming with whatever you get op

got one for 75 other day! Got a question though, bearing seems to have a slight grind to it, doesn't affect smoothness but worries me.

you're trying to tell us that a hardware store doesn't have half inch PVC and 45' elbows. You're either 12 or the biggest idiot. Dont flame eheath for being polite enough to call you on stupid shit. Every thread ive seen from you I've been like wtf type this in google search. The best gear is the gear you've got with you. I'd much rather have my glidecam or opteka steadyvid over a fig rig or PVC rig any day. Joke edits or amateur hour? Film with what you have and perfect that then move on.

Ive never tried taking it apart but you could always try putting a healthy serving of lube on the outside of the bearing shield and work it in and see if that helps

And also a good point, google and youtube have excellent search functions

Not sure where I heard this but have been told lubing the bearing could screw up its fluidity, kinda dont believe it but maybe ill call glidecam on monday

i will gladly take your glide cam

in my opinion your hands can be used to quickly film

if you just dropped the bank on a hd4000 i know i would be out side running around getting used to it!
