Rated 4 out of 5 by Securitybreach001 from Good but... ok firstly, i totally love my glidecam x10, it is an amazing product, i get hired enough for it. But as much as i love it, i can't say it has no defects.- quick release is no quick (you have to get through 5 screws to get the camera off, it is fixable but you have to buy additional gadgets, or make them your self.- the sled has no video ins and outs so if you want to use a monitor you have to tie the cables around the poles (which could be uncomfortable)- the straight handle of the HD4000 was tough for being used hand held, not with an arm and vest, this causes problems when you have to do some difficult turns, you get stuck with yourself. (this can be fixed by buying of making a curved handle for it)- If you wan't to put your HD4000 in low mode you have to buy addition gadgets from glidecam what a surprise or of course you could make them yourself.- the vest knobs for adjusting the sled direction are really hard to use, because of course you have to do it with the sled on and turning those little knobs with all that weigh is kind of hard.on it's favor:it does a really great job stabilizing if that's your inquiry, but a lot depends on the operator.the price i believe it should be around $$ less but it's not bad if you compare with the big brands and what it can do, it's really affordable.i've carry a Black Magic with matte box, filters, follow focus and lens with no problems. and also a Sony F3 with all that on but took the arm to the limit, which i didn't like so much, but it worked and resisted in the end.I would recommend this product but if you have some more money go the the next level with glidecam x22 or steadicam pilot or scout, also sold here in B&H .
Rated 5 out of 5 by Clecio from The best performance x Price Good product, itens and price. Much better performance if compared with Steadicam Merlin.
I need the glide cam X10 to hold up to 25lbs?
Answered by: BELOIN COSTA R.
How much weight will the HD 4000 hold?
up to 10lbs can push 11lbs. if you're going up to double digits you really need the arm and vest.
