Does not match the description, the price is too high.

Expensive, doesn't match the advertised price, maybe $49-59 max, they throw a mount that's for hanging a slip camera on a lamp post, but I already have it. not even in the description. Not a good buy, not as described.

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Something else

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It offers good forearm support, which is what I wanted.

It offers good underarm support which is what I wanted but I think I may need to invest in a vest as while it offers support it is not too easy to wear for an extended period of time.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Nothing here

A must-have among accessories

A week after I bought and used the Glidecam HD-2000 without an armrest, I ordered a Glidecam armrest. Using my Glidecam without a handrail becomes agony after a few minutes. The bandage greatly increases the amount of time I can comfortably use the Glidecam. The pendant is very durable. He and my Glidecam HD-2000 help me capture smooth, professional-looking videos. Although the mount could be cheaper.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • So So

A little pricey but it works.

I'm using a heavy setup so this is helpful. Like most videographers who buy this, they think it's worth it - just wish it wasn't so expensive. Perhaps most of the cost goes into paying for the innovation rather than the product itself (in fact, the product isn't special at all). Practice is the best way to get better. This product is definitely not a miracle cure, but it will help your stable hand relax more and tire less.

Must Have for Glidecam

Let's face it, using the Glidecam is an isometric exercise. Most of the Glidecam, their counterweights, full-size SLRs, good glass lenses, batteries and mics all add up and wear out the muscles in your arm. This device helps to reduce wrist strain and balance the weight of the rig. While this won't save your biceps from pain, it will make the overall experience more comfortable and make a long day at work just that little bit shorter. Enjoy!

Pros
  • Great Value
Cons
  • Available in Black Only

Very helpful. good for shooting and shooting

Whether you are just starting out with Glidecam or are already an advanced user of long shots, this camera is a must have. It transfers the load from your gear (camera + accessories + Glidecam itself) to your shoulder and takes most of the stress off the smaller wrist muscles. However, as all of your muscle groups get stronger, this thing becomes less necessary for short shoots. However, you will definitely want to use it for longer shots or simply invest in a vest that Glidecam makes if you…

Pros
  • comfortable
Cons
  • unsure

A professional filmmaker's perspective

I've been in this business for over 30 years and like many developments over the last few years the Glidecam has changed everything. If you have a planer camera it helps a little and helps my cameramen shoot longer and their arm doesn't get tired. This is not a complete solution, you still need good arm strength. But the flexibility and amazing shots we get, along with the speed of setup is incredible. It's a little pricey for what it is, but when you look at the overall cost of the package…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Safety

It's okay, not bad, not great.

I bought this because my current setup (5D MKIII and Glidecam HD4000) was HEAVY! I bought this shackle thinking I could hold my mount and shoot longer based on the reviews I read here on Amazon and other online sellers. Personally, this mount didn't work for me. I think it works if you have weak UNDERARMS, but after trying this stretch I've found that my biceps tire just as quickly as my forearms. My recording time with a planer camera was similar. Again, I will say that this relieves the…

Pros
  • GOLS Certificate
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
