I Use a Glidecam HD4000, i have arm/vest of the X-10.



What I need is to be able to go from tri-pod to my glidecam quickly with a quick release plate. So how do i mount a quick release to my glidecam, or more over where do i go buy one? I need this ASAP....



So overall i just want a quickrelease available on my Glidecam. Because rebalancing/rescrewing it on is not an option...

P.S Does anyone have a guide to balancing the 7d? It just arrived but i think i should have some basic balancing knowledge beforehand.
 
I have the 7D glidecam 4000 pro and put a $57 manfrotto quick release on the glide cam cause I hated to mess with the whole thing. How is the x-10 for you? I was thinking about getting the shooth shooter and get into shooting some events but am curious how easy it is to maneuver without sloppy shots. Examples of weddings on youtube are horrible.
 
hey lucas. I actually have only assembled everything. Been very busy with work this week. Tomorrows is my day off so its time to play with the new toys :-)


I havnt balanced this yet. Any tips on balancing? Like whats considered "balance" is it when you lift it off the ground with one hand on the "lil arm thing" and it sits flat that = balance?

Got a canon 50mm 1.4 btw.

I'll definitely let you know/show you how it looks with the vest setup.
