Sony FS-100 and Glidecam Low Angle?

[Gene Sung]

I'm probably going to pick up an FS-700 when it comes out. But since it's not out yet, I figure the FS-100 is pretty close in build.

I have a Glidecam 2000 and I shoot a lot of low angle with it by balancing the Glidecam upside down with my Canon 60D. Work great, but you do have to rotate the picture 180 in post. No big deal.

I was wondering if anyone has done low angle stuff with their FS-100? How did you guys balance the camera and is there anyway to see the Flip Screen when balancing for low angle on the FS 100?

I talked to the Glidecam guy and he said the 2000 model is perfect for cameras like the FS-100 and the AF-101

Thanks for any info

the fs 100 is too heavy for my glidecam hd 2000 using the kit lens

I have a glidecam 4000 pro, perfect for the fs100 + kit lens, tamron 17-50 or tokina 11-16. I feel like you'll be pushing it with the 2000 but might as well try it out.

for low mode, you can mount the camera on the sled using the 1/4-20 holes on the top. no flipping in post. you'll need an external monitor though...
