Favorite Steadicam for the GH2/GH1

Ok. I love these cameras, but haven't found the perfect steadicam yet for it. I have an old Flycam Nano that I bought off someone on this site, but it is kind of mangled and it either works ok or is horrible (its always falling apart). It also takes a long time to setup too.

I have looked and looked online at footage of the GH2 and different stabilizers but nothing has really sold me. So I am coming to all of your for help. I know the GH2 is a bit lighter than other DSLR's so what may be great for the 5D, may not be great for the GH2. I am looking for something that I can really run with and get smooth footage. Any suggestions based on your experience?

When it comes to steadicams, heavier is better. I use a Glidecam HD2000 with weights affixed to the top and it works wonderfully. I've used an HD4000 with even more weights on it and that worked better than my HD2000 setup.
