Canon 5D Mark 3 Camera Stabilizer

This is a great way to smoothly handle my Canon C100 Mark ii camera. I tried a smaller motorized gimbal with my DSLR camera and lost patience with getting it balanced and the extra tech that's required. I like the hand-held look but the weight of the C100 camera, over time, makes it difficult to keep steady. Just the FLYCAM stabilizer and a mounted camera is heavy, but the vest makes it effortless. It's doubtful someone could support the camera and stabilizer alone for any length of time without a Herculean arm. After quickly balancing it, I walked around, through doorways, and climbed some stairs to test it out. It was so smooth that the video just glided with barely a notice of my movements. I even ran into something while shooting and it was hardly noticeable. Planning to use this a lot!

Upgraded from the Canon 5D Mark 4. Amazing!!!

It works well with my Canon 5D Mark IV.

I'm a cinematographer and regularly use glidecam hd-2000 with dslr's such as 5D's and 1Dx mark II, I also often use a Glidecam Hd-4000 with a C300 mark II, and even own a giant came-tv vest and stabilizer rig with wires for batteries and monitors going through it. I hate that big thing because there's no real freedom of motion for rising shots etc and it takes forever but i'm sure for walking shots on a movie set or something it's just right. Anyway I'm a strong believer in no vest because you get so much more shots you can capture. This stabilizer is amazing in every way. It is super portable which is important so you have it. Faster to setup. Stable when set down (much more than glidecam since those can tip to the side easier than this one). This looks better, and is carbon so more efficient with weight just for balancing, smaller shaft and bearing means less friction introduced through the bearing. It's extremely smooth. Has smooth position knobs without the extra unnecessary locking screws on the glidecam. This has exactly what you need with nothing extra. it's simple to start on and excellent enough for a pro. It can handle my 5D mark III with a 16-35mm 2.8 L which is a heavy setup. It even just scraped by at the edge of balancing same camera with a 50mm 1.2L. I plan on getting� some extra weights to make sure I'm set with various cameras such as if I have to put a lav receiver on the hotshoe for single mic work solo shoot with mic running into the camera. I wish they made an identical but just slightly bigger version to compete with glidecam hd2000 size but most small stabilizers handle fine if you add more weight to them. Don't hesitate to buy this. I would recommend this as the most important item to shoot with over a slider, over a tripod (shots need motion people!)

I use the glidecam with my T3i and 5D Mark II with wonderful results. If you are looking for a great stabilizer and extremely smooth video look no further than the Glidecam HD2000. There is a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it (and how to balance it) you will never go back to handheld video again!

Bought this for my canon 5D Mark II camera, and chose the Canon brand over other less expensive 3rd party brands due to its solid construction and locking connector. I'm using this mainly for HD video timelapse. A common complaint with many users of this brand and others is that there is no power on/off switch. So far, not an issue for me, however. The battery drain is very minimal.

I have been waiting for a long time to Buy this Camera Canon 5D Mark ii..and B&H made my Dream come True......Just Great. Best Price and all the Extras I got with my Camera Kit. It's worth waiting and Buying From a Profesional Store like B&H. I buy all my Photo and Video Gear From B&H they give you the best advice whenever I call Them...really profesional. I would RECOMMEND this to a FRIEND and all of you .

Fits well. Put it on the lens first, then mount to camera. I have a Canon 5D Mark II.

I use it with canon 600mm mark 3 and 5D mark 4...Work grate and camera focus quickly. But with Canon 7D it has more problem focusing. I'm working on adjustments on the camera, it is getting better....

Works like a charm with my Canon 5D Mark IV!
