About Glidecam X-30

Just imagine capturing smooth, professional footage with the X-30 Professional Camera Stabilization System, a highly advanced and meticulously engineered solution for film and video cameras weighing between 15 to 30 pounds. This robust system is designed to provide superior stability, allowing you to walk, run, ascend and descend stairs, shoot from moving vehicles, and traverse uneven terrain without any camera instability or shake.

The X-30 system is a comprehensive package that includes a durable Support Arm, a comfortable Support Vest, and a sturdy Support Sled. These components work in harmony to isolate your body's motion from your camera, ensuring your camera remains balanced in a relatively motionless and isolated state. This results in super smooth moving camera footage, a must-have in today's competitive production environment.

The X-30's Dyna-Elastic Dual-Articulating Support Arm is a marvel of engineering, incorporating 18 precision radial bearings within its machined T6 aluminum structure. This design minimizes friction and allows the Support Arm to pivot and boom smoothly and quietly. The Support Arm also features Light-Force technology, requiring minimal effort from the operator to hold the arm at any given position or to boom the arm up and down.

The X-30 Sled is designed to hold cameras weighing from 15 to 30 pounds. It is composed of four major components: the Camera Balance Platform, the Three-Axis Gimbal, the Dynamic Base Platform, and the Telescoping Center Post. Each component is precision-engineered for optimal performance and durability.

The Camera Balance Platform incorporates a quick-release, no-tools, drop-in Dovetail Camera Plate for easy camera attachment or removal. Fine-tuning control knobs allow for quick and precise adjustment of the platform's front-to-back and side-to-side movement, ensuring optimal horizontal balance.

The Three-Axis Gimbal is a unique, no-tools design with adjustable axis convergence controls, allowing all three axes to intersect for proper operational alignment. The Dynamic Base Platform can be manually expanded or contracted to adjust the system's dynamic balance or to increase or decrease the system's rotational pan inertia.

The X-30 Support Vest is lightweight, comfortable, and adjustable to fit a wide range of operators. It is designed to evenly distribute the weight of the system across the operator's shoulders, back, and hips. The vest features quick-release, high-impact buckles for safety and easy removal.

With the X-30 Professional Camera Stabilization System, you can achieve the smooth, professional footage you need to stand out in the competitive world of film and video production.
