Opinion between 2 steady cams

[mikcheck]

Hello guys.

The price difference is $381.

Glidecam HD 2000 http://www.hi-techwonder.com/glidecam-hd-2000

iSteady Kit II + S-120 http://www.hi-techwonder.com/isteady-kit-ii-


Do you think its worth to give those $381 for the kit or Glidecam HD 2000 will be good enough?

Thank you.

Since i have urgency about this, i think i'll go for Glidecam as i've read many good reviews about it

one is just the gimbal the other a full rig, what do you want?

I'm not sure about the full one as i didn't find reviews about it or about the iSteady S-120, opposed to the Glidecam HD2000.

OK, what do you NEED? What camera do you want to fly? Do you need to shoot long takes? Is it just for fun or will you make money out of it? Is it for docu or narrative work?
The longer and more elaborate the shots are gone be, the more you will wish for a full rig.
But when traveling and just trying to get "that one special shot" a gimbal only will do.
They have gotten kind of cheap, when getting one from Asia. You might want to search for "Wieldy" "Laing" "Came""Wondlan".
These are all for "I´ll add this to my repertoire, but there´s no JayZ video at stake when I use it".

Hi Spartacus, thanks for your reply.

It's not to make money out of it, at least for now. It's more for my own videos and some narrative work, but nothing too elaborate. I own a 70D.

I'll search for those from Asia, thanks!
