Hague Dmc Dslr Motion Cam Camera Steadicam Stabilizer

The HD2000 works well in eliminating those motion shakes. I use a DSLR and heavy lens which makes it even more shaky when used without a stabilizer. UPs: stabilizes and works well DOWNs: Heavy and really heavy depending on setup takes a while to set up and understanding the stabilizer. Do not be discouraged when first using, because it takes practice, especially with it rocking and it bumping into yourself.

Required to add extra inertia to Steadicam stabilizer. Works with Merlin AND Pilot. Note that for the Pilot the maximum weight of the Camcorder/Camera and weights is 10 lbs.

This is my first steadicam stabilizer I have owned and used, and it works perfectly. Though when you first receive it, don't expect to whip it out and assume it's good to go. You first have to assemble the Glidecam, then balance it. It took me a good while to get it properly balanced. Even after that, there's a certain amount of skill needed to operate the Glidecam, which takes a little bit of practice. The first day I got it, my wrist was absolutely sore from all the weight it was carrying. I have it mounted with a Canon T1i with a 17-40 L lens.Though you could go ahead and get the vest that adds another layer of stability and reduces the amount of stress on your wrist. But after the first few hurdles, you're smooth sailing and flying in no time.

I bought it as a replacement for my DMC-G5 camera that turned up to be the camera that I have been taking with me more often than any DSLR that I own. So far the camera seems to work nicely. It is taking a little bit to get used to the different control buttons layout, which is slightly different than what I am used to with my other Lumix Cameras (GX1 and G5) but it is not much of a problem. I own several lenses and other accessories which work really good with this camera. I love the WiFi connectivity and the App which I use to control the camera wirelessly for shooting and transferring images to my phone or tablet, for display on social media sites, messaging or storage. This is my favorite function of this camera. I am very happy with the camera. It is stylish, lightweight, functional and easy to use.

The HD 2000 is awesome, first time using any glide cam/steadicam rig, and easy to use! It takes getting use to when you balance, but once you've learned how, it becomes second nature. I use it mainly for experimental videography and delivers the best quality and helps my footage greatly. HUGE difference when handheld vs. Glidecam

Helps me keep my steadicam even steadier Looks cool, and is black. People named cam wont one..

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!)

this is a great gamble stabilizer once you get everything balance to its exact points you're able to get smooth pan shots smooth motion shots smooth running and walking shots as well

I use this products exactly as its recommended. I use it to prop my DSLR Camera right off my desk. I like that the range of motion is not limited. I like its sturdy design and the fact that its so easy to put away once I am done. Love this purchase especially the price.

I purchased this because my main run n gun video cam, Panasonic DVX200, is too big for gimbal/stabilizer use. Its got a lot of the same guts as the big cam, but in a tidy package with an awesome built in stabilizer. Very happy with it so far. I purchased this on another website and saved fifty bucks, but it took twice as long to arrive and was hassled over the phone. It wasnt worth the money I saved. Just buy it here.
