$100 for that POS?
Seriously just save up, do yourself a big favor, and buy a REAL Glidecam. When it comes to cameras/camera accesori, you get what you pay for.

I don't really see the advantage, i have seen footage sot from one of these and it's stable.

i would say go with the mini because it seems like with the pro you are paying more for it to be a little bigger. maybe thats just me but i feel like the mini will stabalize well enough

Let me enlighten you on a fundamental principal when it comes to buying camera gear: you get what you pay for. Buying cheap gear often won't give you the results you really want, and even in the best case scenario and it does work, it will break. Pretty soon you will find yourself replacing your cheap equipment five times over and eventually you will realize that you have spent well over the price of a Glidecam, only you will still be without a quality functioning product.
It's not our place to tell you how to spend your money, but if you were to ask me if I'd pay money for such a thing, I would say no. Buy once, cry once.

Camera gear isn't something you want to cheap out on.

Glidecam 2000 pro is like 300 or less brand new i believe. Just wait a bit and then get that. works great, build super solid. Ski season is a few months away just put some money away.

They're like $500 on their website. It seems good enough for what I want if it breaks and I enjoyed having It I will defiantly buy a worthwhile one. I'm just buying a few crappy camera shits to find out what I actually like and use. Except lenses, I'm not cheaping out on glass.

Don't cheap out, ever.
I remember I did once, on a D3100, could've gotten a T2i, shoudl've gotten a T2i.
I cheaped out about 2 weeks ago as well, bought a $60 tripod, shouldve bought a $200 tripod.

Sometimes you have to make do with what you have. For example I needed a tripod, but was broke so I went down to Walmart and picked up a 38 dollar tripod. Yes it is shit, but I will say it is way better than no tripod.
