Glidecam smothshooter

[Espen Glomsvoll]

Hi!

My name is Espen, I´m new here.

I´ve been working proffesionally as a photographer sice 2001, but have been in the TV business for around 10 years.

Now that the digital world has arrived with lighter and cheaper equipment, I´m considering to buy a glidecam smoothshooter for use in documentary films and smaller projects.

I´m wondering if there is anybody out there who is experienced with glidecam and knows if you can put in a harder compression spring?

Not much harder, but just so you can lift about 2-3lbs more.

Allso, if someone has any positive or negative experiences with glidecam, I will be glad to hear from you.

 

Best regards, Espen, Norway

 

PS: This site has allready been very useful to me. Keep up the good work!

Hi Aspen. I'll make things a little easy before the others tell you what I'm about to say to you. Try the Glidecam forum http://www.glidecamforum.com/conf/ or http://hbsboard.com/index.php. You probably won't get any answers because the shooter is not considered a high end rig. Just letting you off easy. ;) But please do try out those forums. Ooops, I forgot the steadiforum.com as well.
