About Glidecam X-45

While the GLIDECAM X-45 Professional Camera Stabilization System is a top-tier, advanced solution designed for film and video cameras weighing between 25 to 45 pounds, it's more than just a stabilization system. It's a comprehensive suite of precision-engineered components that work together to deliver unparalleled stability and fluid motion for your camera.

The GLIDECAM X-45 system is a testament to advanced engineering and precision machining, making it the most sophisticated and versatile system in its class. It's designed to allow you to walk, run, climb stairs, shoot from moving vehicles, and traverse uneven terrain without any camera instability or shake.

The complete X-45 system includes a Support Arm, Support Vest, and Support Sled, all designed to isolate your body's motion from your camera, keeping your camera in a relatively motionless and isolated state. The X-45's Support Arm can be boomed up and down, pivoted in and out, and moved side-to-side, providing the low friction booming and pivoting action that isolates your body's motions from the camera. This results in super smooth moving camera footage, a must-have in today's competitive production environment.

The GLIDECAM X-45'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 X-45 Support Arm to pivot and boom smoothly and quietly. The Support Arm's hardcoat anodized Exo-Skeletal Shells house four Titanium Extension Springs, providing the arm with its lifting power and allowing for varying camera weights.

The X-45 Sled, designed to hold cameras weighing from 25 to 45 pounds, is a testament to sophisticated engineering and precision machining. It's lightweight yet strong, and is comprised of four major components: the Camera Balance Platform, the Three-Axis Gimbal, the Dynamic Base Platform, and the Telescoping Center Post.

The GLIDECAM X-45 Support Vest is designed for comfort and adjustability, fitting a wide range of operators. It's made of high endurance, dual density, EVA foam padding and integral T6 aluminum alloy, distributing the weight of the system across the operator's shoulders, back, and hips. The vest's outer shell is made of 1000 denier cordura fabric and 7-panel seat belt strapping, known for its durability.

In summary, the GLIDECAM X-45 Professional Camera Stabilization System is more than just a stabilization system. It's a comprehensive solution that delivers unparalleled stability and fluid motion for your camera, making it an invaluable tool in any professional videographer's arsenal.
