Premium Members Dave Wowchuk Posted July 9, 2005 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Hi everyone, I was talking to one of the Glidecam reps on Thursday and he informed me that the V-35 (now to be called the V-25) was to be released in approximately 90 days. I saw the pictures from NAB 2004, dis anyone see anything this year? I'd really be interested to see what the sled looks like. I was almost ready to buy the Flyer, but after talking to him I think I'm going to wait the three months and see what Glidecam has to offer. Any suggestions or things I should be looking out for? Some of you have made some interesting comments about Glidecam products . . . how about some feedback on Tiffen's stuff? Thanks!

Premium Members Erik Brul Posted July 10, 2005 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Coming IBC 2005 the V-35 (V-25 ?) will be present in its 'final' look.. Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members jonathan_hale Posted July 10, 2005 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 I really like the V-35/V-25. The arm is quite smooth with wonderful boom range. The addition of the camera plate to the Glidecam V-Series was a much needed improvement. The battery module is nice: You can finally adjust the damn batteries and achieve something resembling dynamic balance. The gimbal is a massive improvement over the old V-Series gimbal. It?s really smooth ? I almost prefer it to my Gold gimbal! The monitor arm is okay. It?s a bit funky with all of its joints. I doubt it could support too much weight, but then again the system is designed for lighter cameras so lcd monitors would be the way to go. The one thing that was still being worked on was the upper j-box. They were going with a design like the 3A, the box that hangs out in front (only their prototype at NAB 2005 had it hanging off the back by mistake). I don?t know if that?s the plan for now, but I?d prefer a set-up more like the Gold (or most sleds out there) where the power and video connectors were integrated into the head, under the camera plate. We?ll see. Oh, and all pieces are supposed to come in black, not just blue or red. I?m not quite sure what the weight limit of the rig is, though. Could never get a straight answer, but I assume that was because they?re still working on it. If I can figure out how to post photos, I?ll put some up (from NAB 2004 & 2005) Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Dave Wowchuk Posted July 11, 2005 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Awesome! I only saw pictures of the vest and arm before . . . now it's great to see what the sled looks like. The rep told me the sled was to handle 10-20lbs (which is versatile for what I want it for.) 3 months won't come soon enough. Thanks for the pictures!

Premium Members jonathan_hale Posted August 24, 2005 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Hey Charles, Glidecam Central?died, for reasons I?ll probably never know. I can?t reach the owner of the site (drummen) and so the site is gone. A new version will be coming soon. I?ll post the url here when it?s up.
