Glidecam HD-2000 Camera Stabilizer for Cameras 2 to 6 Pounds
The amazingly advanced and totally re-engineered HD-Series from Glidecam represents the top of the line in hand-held Camera Stabilization. The HD-2000 will transform your hard to watch, shaky camera footage into hypnotically smooth, professional footage. Shot after shot, move after move, the Glidecam HD-Series Stabilizers deliver beautifully smooth and professional results.
Floating Footage
Offers advanced features and a degree of sophistication never before seen in a line of Hand-held Camera Stabilizers. With the HD-2000, your camcorder seems to float, always balanced, isolated from your hands undesirable motions. Now you are free to move with your camera - panning, tilting, booming or running without any camera instability or shake. It works so well that it allows you to shoot incredibly smooth and graceful shots even while going to extremes like running up and down stairs or traveling over rugged terrain. And when it comes to normal shooting, like walking or moving the camera slowly around someone, the results are equally magical.
Triple Axis Gimble
Each HD-Series Stabilizer's offset, foam cushioned, Handle Grip is attached to a free floating, three axis Gimbal. This unique and proprietary, precision, three axis Gimbal incorporates several adjustable, axis convergence controls allowing your hand to move up and down, and side-to-side, thereby isolating your hand's unwanted motions from the camera. This up and down movement alleviates the bouncing, pogo type action often associated with our competitor's system, because their handle cannot move up and down. This design feature, coupled with the overall higher inertia of the HD-Series systems, produces superior stabilization when compared with our competition.
Drop In Your Camera
A camera-mounting platform with a quick-release, no-tools, drop on camera plate allows you to quickly attach or remove your camera. Ergonomic, control knobs allow quick, precise adjustment of the top stage's back and forth, and side-to-side movement. These controls allow you to adjust the camera's horizontal balance.
No Tools
By varying the amount of Counter Weights on the Base Platform, or by changing the length of the no-tools telescoping Central Post, you adjust the camera's vertical balance. When balanced properly the camera floats, ready for you to move into action.The Glidecam HD Series stabilizers offer unparalleled controllability and ease of use with their unique rigid, yet dynamically adjustable, control and weight distribution surfaces. Setting up, controlling and adjusting system balance is now quick and precise.
Dynamic Base Platform
A unique and proprietary Dynamic Base Platform can expand or contract. This allows you to easily adjust the systems dynamic balance or to increase or decrease the systems rotational pan inertia.With the Glidecam HD-Series you no longer need a tripod or a dolly. All you need is your Imagination!
The Glidecam HD-2000 will support any camcorder or movie camera weighing up to 6 pounds. Allows unrestricted Booming and unrestricted 360 degree Panning. Only 14.5" tall. Made of precision Aluminum. Can also be used as a Monopod. You can easily attach a small LCD monitor to the base monitor mount hole if needed. Weighs 2.1 pounds without counterbalance disks. Camcorder not included.
