Glidecam Smooth Shooter

The GLIDECAM SMOOTH SHOOTER is the World's most sophisticated And affordable body mounted Camera Stabilization System designed for Cameras weighing up to 6 pounds when used with the Glidecam HD 2000 , or for Cameras weighing from 4 to 10 pounds when used with the Glidecam HD 4000 . The GLIDECAM SMOOTH SHOOTER system will allow you to walk, run, go up And down stairs, shoot from moving vehicles And travel over uneven terrain without any camera instability or shake.

The SMOOTH SHOOTER system works by isolating your body's motion from your camera, while your camera is balanced in a relatively motionless And isolated state. The SMOOTH SHOOTER'S Support Arm can be boomed up And down, as well as pivoted in And out, And side-to-side. It is the combined booming And pivoting action of the Support Arm, which isolates your motions from the camera in a way that creates smooth camera footage.

The GLIDECAM SMOOTH SHOOTER does not come with a Glidecam HD 2000 or a Glidecam HD 4000; however, it is specifically designed to be used with them. If you already own one of our hAnd-held stabilizers, then you will be able to use it by simply attaching it to the end of the Smooth Shooter's Support Arm. Neither the Glidecam 2000 Pro, nor the 4000 Pro need to be modified to work with the GLIDECAM SMOOTH SHOOTER. You can use your camcorder's flip out LCD monitor, or a monitor that is attached to the base of your Glidecam 2000 HD or 4000 HD. This allows for remote viewing of the camera's image without disturbing the orientation of the system.

When using the Glidecam HD 2000 Pro or Glidecam HD 4000 Pro in hAnd-held mode, it is your arm that carries all of the weight. However, when the XR 2000 Pro or XR 4000 Pro are used with the SMOOTH SHOOTER, it is the SMOOTH SHOOTER'S Spring-loaded Support Arm that carries all of the weight. Because of this, you will now be able to shoot for extended periods of time, whereas before, the stress associated with hAnd-holding the weight reduced your shooting time.
