frank liu Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Stefano Ben Posted May 28, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Never tried it, but I heard good words about it! Expecially for the Gold arm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jay Kim Posted May 28, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 I have a original Gold sled (1.5" post with 3 Anton Bauer battery option) and a Gold arm. It was a really good value at the time I bought it and it is still one of the best professional systems in the mid-priced range (less than $30,000). I saw their new sled with 2" post and all HD-SDI wiring at NAB this year which added much better rigidity than the 1.5" post when I test it. They also had a new prototype X-45 arm which can carry more weight than a Gold arm . They haven't update their website for a long time for GC Gold products so you won't get much information from there. I know they will be at Cinegear so try it yourself if you can make it. Fly Safe!
