Motion Stabilizer Camera During Earthquake

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!)

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.

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

We have used the Midland GXT 1000 for our earthquake drills and have found them to be very reliable.

I use a NikonD200 with a Neoprene neck strap and the neoprene, flexible Stabilizer Strap (Op/Tech USA) around my chest when camera is not in use. The stabilizer precents the camera swaying when I am running, climbing, or otherwise active, even getting out of crowded vehicles. The stbilizer prevents the strap from impacting anything like branches, rock walls, furniture, or the person in the seat ahead of me. It permits the camera to instantly slip out of the stabilizer, leaving the strap in position./ The strap length is adjustable to fit over a bulky jacket or vest, and the snap-on ends make it easy to fit.The central lens opening can be enlarged to fit extremely wide diameter lenses. I canot imagine how it could be improved.

I have 3 of these on different plates and such to keep from having to remove the camera from the stabilizer, they are indispensable.

This Stabilizer is the best! Thanks!

Amazing Stabilizer!

Great 4k picture but Motion however results in a lot of artifacts which is not related to my WiFi which is excellent and full bars since I have the router 15’ from the camera…, the motion artifacts though I guess is expected at 15fps… I only wish they had a 4k 30fps for the fusion or even better 60fps for less motion blur to complement the excellent picture quality (and double HDD space to deal with the extra data). I would prefer 100% wireless POE too but it wasn’t an option on this dual camera when I bought it. Great camera though, I would definitely recommend.

This flood light camera is the best I'd ever had and i had a few it only comes on wen there is a motion on like some other ones i had;
