About Glidecam
Glidecam Industries, the manufacturer of camera stabilization systems and accessories for use by both film and video makers, was founded in 1992. Glidecam Industries, Inc. now has over 20 products and hundreds of dealers worldwide. Glidecam separates itself from its competition by offering a product line that is both technologically advanced and yet priced very affordably. Glidecam’s customer service policy of thoroughly helping its customers both before and after a sale has won them a very happy customer and customer referral base.
Glidecam has billed itself as “The Name and Future of Camera Stabilization”, and it is in this light that they introduced the worlds first body mounted, camera stabilization system for cameras weighing up to 10 pounds. This was the Glidecam V-8 introduced in 1997, with its exclusive and unique “Orbit Hinge” technology and compact “Dyna-Elastic Arm” design. It is also in this light that Glidecam introduced its “Gold Series” in 1999. The Glidecam Gold Series offers the very high end customer a top of the line body mounted stabilizer for cameras weighing from 13 to 38 pounds. The Gold Series again combines Glidecam’s high technology with common sense ideology approach, creating a product that is sophisticated, highly aesthetic and far more affordable than the competition’s high end equipment.
Glidecam has become the world leader in its field because it combines the best practices with the best thinking, and in the end it is this combination that the customer wants.
Glidecam Industries Inc. offers a wide variety of camera stabilizers (camera stabilization systems) for use with motion picture cameras, video cameras, and video camcorders. These hand-held and body-mounted camera stabilizers create super smooth shots, and allow the operator to walk, run, go up and down stairs, shoot from moving vehicles, and travel over uneven terrain without any camera instability or shake. Glidecam camera stabilization products make ideal camera accessories and can easily replace or be used in conjunction with dollies and tracks, booms, camera cranes, and tripods, or monopods. Both professional filmmakers and amateur movie makers alike can enjoy the fluidity and grace that Glidecam camera stabilizers provide.
About the HD Stabilizer
Glidecam Industries, Inc. introduces the The GLIDECAM HD-Series of camera stabilizers. The amazingly advanced and totally re-engineered Glidecam HD-SeriesTM represents the top of the line in Hand-Held Camera Stabilization.
The lightweight and state-of-the-art Glidecam HD-1000, HD-2000 and HD-4000 Hand-Held Camera Stabilizers will transform your hard to watch, shaky camera footage into hypnotically smooth, professional footage.
The Glidecam HD-Series works so well that it allows you to shoot incredibly smooth and graceful shots even while going to extremes like running up and down stairs or traveling over rugged terrain. And when it comes to normal shooting, like walking or moving the camera slowly around someone, the results are equally magical.
Each HD-Series Stabilizer’s offset, foam cushioned, Handle Grip is attached to a free floating, three axis Gimbal. This allows your hand to move up and down, and side-to-side, thereby isolating your hand’s unwanted motions from the camera. This up and down movement alleviates the bouncing, pogo type action often associated with our competitor’s system, because their handle cannot move up and down. This design feature, coupled with the overall higher inertia of the HD-Series systems, produces superior stabilization when compared with our competition.
A unique and proprietary, precision, three axis Gimbal incorporates several adjustable, axis convergence controls. This allows all three axes to intersect for proper operational alignment.
