For those who wanted to see a Glidecam and Canon T2i in action, here it is. Granted this was my first time using the glidecam pretty much once it was closely balanced. I had to add weight to the top of the base plate in order to get the camera close to the balance point (it's pretty light with the 18-55mm lens). At night the footage is even decent in low light with the kit lens. A little grainy but overall not bad.

Glidecam 1000 pro. Like I said, due to the light weight of the T2i and kit lens, I had to add three large washers to the top plate (superglued together and added velcro attachments). And the two smallest washers on the bottom.
The night shots were shot at 1/60, iso was set on auto but was up at about 800 sometimes 1600, aperature was at 4.0 and the frame rate was 60p. I imported the video into a 24p sequence and slowed the 60p down 40% which gives it a smooth slow motion shot (at least I think so).
The day shots were shot at 1/60 and 60p. Aperature was at 22 and the frame rate was 60p.
I understand that shooting at each frame rate you should be about double on the shutter speed, but I was just messing around to see the outcome.
If someone could help me out on my thoughts here that would be great.
Since I was shooting at a pretty low speed and not many fast objects or pans, it turned out ok since it was at 1/60. However if I was shooting skiing for instance and faster speeds, it would've turned out blurry and would've needed to be at least at 1/120?
