Perfect stabilizer for the T3i

Perfect for chasing my kids with my T3i to capture some precious memories onto HD video. Only downside is the weight capacity which rules out the use of any heavier wide angle zooms. The HD-1000 is just the right size to avoid needing a vest or arm brace to capture 2-3 minute clips.

Very difficult to learn how to use

You would think that they could include a detailed instructional video on the use of this device. It is very difficult to learn how to balance the camera and how to produce a steady video. You [$] for the device which includes poor written instructions then you are offered a detailed instructional DVD for an additional $100. Give me a break!

About Glidecam HD-4000

The Glidecam HD-1000 is a Stabilizer System for Small Sized Video Cameras up to 3 Lbs. This system is upgraded from the 1000 Pro and offers fine adjustments and an improved gimbal and balance system.

The Glidecam HD-Series offers advanced features and a degree of sophistication never before seen in a line of Hand-held Camera Stabilizers.

With the Glidecam HD-Series hand-held Stabilizers your camcorder seems to float, always balanced, isolated from your hands undesirable motions. Now you are free to move with your camera - panning, tilting, booming or running without any camera instability or shake.

The Glidecam HD-Series works so well that it allows you to shoot incredibly smooth and graceful shots even while going to extremes like running up and down stairs or traveling over rugged terrain. And when it comes to normal shooting, like walking or moving the camera slowly around someone, the results are equally magical.

Each HD-Series Stabilizer's offset, foam cushioned, Handle Grip is attached to a free floating, three axis Gimbal. This allows your hand to move up and down, and side-to-side, thereby isolating your hand's unwanted motions from the camera. This up and down movement alleviates the bouncing, pogo type action often associated with competitors systems because their handle cannot move up and down. This design feature, coupled with the overall higher inertia of the HD-Series systems, produces superior stabilization when compar ed with the competition.

A unique and proprietary, precision, three-axis Gimbal incorporates several adjustable, axis convergence controls. This allows all three axes to intersect for proper operational alignment.

A camera-mounting platform with a quick-release, no-tools, drop-on camera plate allows you to quickly attach or remove your camera. Ergonomic, control knobs allow quick, precise adjustment of the top stage's back and forth, and side-to-side movement. These controls allow you to adjust the camera's horizontal balance.
