DVX100AE / DVX102A Question.

Re: DVX100AE / DVX102A Question.

I'm sure things will pick up once you get some work and get a few recommendations.

I've been looking at the Glidecam 2000 but I'm unsure whether to buy one or not. Once you start in this business it seems like theres no end, like a bottomless pit!

Thx

I've heard that there is a bit of a learning curve to use this thing. The biggest problem is the strain on your arm. I'll let you know how I get on.

Well my magiqcam is finally shipping from the US tomorrow.

Will update anyone interested here.

Another invest that's sure to take time to master.
 
Re: DVX100AE / DVX102A Question.

I got my DVX and my Glidecam 2000 last week
It took me a while to get the right balance for the glidecam
the only bad thing I can say about it is that there is no quick release for the camera, so everytime I want to take it off it means throwing that balance out and then doing it again when I put it back on
I guess I'm gonna have to start working out, holding this weight with one hand isn't that easy after a while
but the shots are worth it...
 
Re: DVX100AE / DVX102A Question.

You can add a Bogen quick-release plate to the top of the GlideCam, which will make it easier to take the camera off/put it on, and should keep the balance more consistent.
