The Glidecam X-45 Stabilizer with V-Mount Base is a professional, body-mounted camera stabilizer designed for film or video cameras weighing up to 45 pounds. The system allows the operator to walk, run, ascend or descend stairs, shoot from moving vehicles, and travel over uneven terrain without camera instability.

Supports up to 45 lb    Solid 1.75" Posts    V-Lock Battery Mount

The full-featured, precision support Glidecam X-45 sled is designed to carry film and video cameras weighing up to 45 pounds and incorporates 12-volt integrated wiring.

The precision, x-y adjustable head assembly incorporates a drop-in style dovetail camera plate for quick front-to-back balance. Finely tuned ergonomic knobs control front-to-back and side-to-side balance adjustments.

The sled's "no-tools" precision gimbal incorporates four bearings inside the handle-to-yoke connection (the tilt axis). There are two bearings on each side of the yoke, providing four bearings for the roll axis. A very tight knurling has been machined onto the gimbal tube to improve handling, with the handle grip covered by easy-to-replace soft foam.

The Glidecam X-45 sled sports a solid 1.75" central post and a "no-tools" telescoping post. This allows for easy adjustment of the sled length and position of the LCD and batteries.

Three dedicated video BNC connections are located on the base and head assembly. The Glidecam X-45 central post power/video cable can handle composite, component, and HD-SDI video. Two 2-pin LEMO connectors are also located on the base and head assembly.

An optional 7" LCD monitor is a great option for this gimbal, but is not included with the gimbal and must be sourced separately.

A: HD is the up-to-date version. The fact is, if you are flying a Glidecam, you are not going to be operating your zoom or focus ring while doing so. Both hands on the Glidecam. Set it and forget it.

A: The Glidecam HD2000 works with cameras between 2-6 pounds. If your load is only 1.1 pounds it will not work. Instead we suggest B&H #GLXRPRO, which is the Glidecam XR-PRO. The XR-Pro has a capacity between 0-10 pounds, so you can properly balance as 1.1 pound camera on this stabilizer.

Q: 8. Can the flat plate on top of the glidecam be removed and just put the quick release plate on?

A: No the flat plate on top is also the front to back and side to side adjustment. The quick release that was promoted for this item is a very poor design. Difficult to release because of the quick release location.
