I AGREE


How would he keep focus whilst on the move, would he have used a z finder, there doesnt seem to be that much dof so my only other guess is keeping the aperture at infinity to allow for variations between distance of camera and subject.

Sorry for newbie and probably stupid question am still learning :embarasse
 
Vinne is actually a member here, You could send him a message, I think he posted another one of his glidecam videos here too.
 
Using a Z-finder on skates while watching an LCD screen while holding a glidecam seems like suicide to me. I would break something.

As far as keeping focus, You would need to find out which lens he was using.

I use the Tokina 11-16 on my HD 4000 and focusing is not an issue if the subject distance stays around the same distance from camera. But I'm a noob too, it works for me.
 
thanks all ill search and message him now, yeh Richard does sound like suicide id go head over ass if that was me lol
