Ethan: When I picked up this product it was quite beaten up and scratched. Many people warned me before that this would take a few hours to balance and it did. Once it was balanced, I at least never had to do it again. The product was very functional and created stable "flying" shots but the screws for removing the weights were stripped. Overall, The Glidecam did it's job very well but maybe I just got a bad model. Thanks!

William: Very easy to set up and especially easy to use! However, you would do well to also rent a quick release plate system to put on top of it, it will make things easier when needing to take a camera off to use it for something else. If you've never used a stabilizer system, I'm sure you can still recognize the footage. A bit of practice and a couple minutes to balance will give you results that your clients would never expect. Highly recommended.
