Hello Kuba, Have you had a chance to take a photograph of your Glidecam setup? It is always very useful to see a photograph, as there are many little nuances that can sometimes be resolved in seeing an image. Thanks!

Hello All - We are testing a new website design. Let us know what you think! Website: http://beta.glidecam.com Survey: http://glidecam.com/abtesting

Hello Kuba, What camera are you working with? Can you take a photograph of your Glidecam and post it on the Glidecam forum? Could be something very simple... Look forward to helping you resolve this issue

Hello RitzyRitzRit, Yes, Cheryl mentioned that she has responded to your request.

Sam-the-man; This is sensitive procedure, however, if the directions are followed it can be done. However, if you would like - we can offer this service for you. Meaning if you send it in to use, we can offer this service. Just email me directly and I can provide more information on how it will work out. Email: tomh(at)glidecam.com

Sam were you able to source the missing hardware for your Glidecam HD-2000? NOTE: ALL GLIDECAM HARDWARE used is based on the principal that it should be 'FIELD REPLACABLE' - meaning every is you can Source Most ALL hardware at Local Hardware Store. Such As; WALMART (Hardware Dept) HOME DEPOT, LOWES, ACE Hardware, etc... Of course local Hardware Stores always have the best service and carry some of the Select items you might not find the bigger stores

RajBombay - This is a very popular configuration - you have no problems mating the Canon 6D to the Glidecam HD-2000. Are you using the CORRECT SIZE Camera Mounting Screw? The Glidecam HD-2000 includes 2 Version. 1) 1/4 x 20 x 3/8 and 1) 1/4 x 20 x 1/2 IF Screws it TOO LONG, use 1) 1/4 Washer UNDER the 'HEAD" of the Screw - which would be UP, Under the camera mounting plate (to be sure that I explain it correctly) Let us know

Glidecam Ultra-Shot Camera Mounting Plate WILL fit into Some Manfrotto Tripod Heads. SEE This Attached Example: ( You'll see the Glidecam Ultra-Shot Camera Mounting Plate has been fitted into the Manfrotto 501 Head [3433 Plate] )

1/4 x 20 Meaning: 1/4 or (.025") is the Diameter of the Screw. A 1/4 x 20 Screws has a diameter of 1/4" or 0.25" 20 in the thread count. Meaning that it requires 20 rotations to move 1 Linear Inch. A 1/4 x 20 Screw requires 20 rotation to move 1 linear inch. Most ALL of the Manfrotto QR Plate will fit on the a Glidecam HD-Series, XR-Series and Devin Graham Series. *NOTE: All Camera Manufacturers (American, Asian and European) utilize the STANDARD MEASURE of 1/4 x 20 for the CAMERA MOUNTING SCREW.* The Manfrotto 323 WILL work with the Glidecam.

The Glidecam HD-Series, Devin Graham Signature and XR-Series Stabilizers ALL incorporate a feature that allow the end-user to align the Base Weight Polarity, or Stability Foot-Print from: 1. Fore/Aft Alignment [The benefit here is the Inertia Footprint (of the base) is in alignment with the Fore/Aft [X] Axis - this is how you see most pictures; (base-platform facing forward) Inertia of the Counterweight is in alignment with the 'length' of the camera. *Need to hold further from body, so base does not come in contact with Operators body.* 2. Side/Side Alignment [The benefit here is the Inertia Footprint (of the base) is in alignment with the Side/Side [Y] Axis - The Inertia of the Counterweight is in alignment with the 'width' of the camera. *Operator can hold the Glidecam closer to their body, assist in eliminating fatigue with 'heavier rigs'. This same approach can be applied when operating a Glidecam Devin Graham Signature Series, XR-PRO or HD-Series with a Glidecam Smooth Shooter or Glidecam X-10.
