I already have a Steadicam, but I was wondering if the Glidecam Gold is worth the price tag. Seems expensive like a Steadicam heavy duty rig...

Is it ok to just hang a sandbag at the end of the arm near just short of the arm post and then have the sled to the side instead of a weight plate? Would that work for short-term purposes and still be able to use the sled like as if it met the requirements of weight for the arm?

Thanks again Mark. You did correct me on thinking that it takes HDMI to an SDI out. I now know it doesn't. Thanks for the info.

Nevermind, got a great response from Mark. Guess it costs like maybe 50-80 for a custom cable to power it.

How do you get a custom cable or if there is any out there online to power it and how much do you think one would cost? I got the SD monitor so I want to be able to use an HDMI signal...

Thanks.
