Video Supply proudly distributes Glidecam camera stabilization systems
that help you achieve absolutely smooth professional moves with
every shot.
Martin Stevens founded Glidecam Industries, the
manufacturer of camera stabilization systems and accessories, for
use by both film and video makers, in 1992. The actual origin of
the first Glidecam device dates back to the spring
of 1991. Martin designed it when he was producing and directing
his first feature length motion picture. Glidecam
has become the world leader in its field because it combines the
best practices with the best thinking, and in the end it is this
combination that the customer wants.

 Glidecam
2000 Pro
This stabilizing system is lightweight and designed for hand-held
compact camcorders that allows unrestricted booming and unrestricted
360 degree panning. The Glidecam 2000 Pro 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 precise.
It has been touted as the best and most versatile camcorder stabilizer
available on the market today. It is quick and easy to set up and
balance. Because of the Glidecam 2000 Pro's offset handle grip,
your hand is able to move up and down, and side to side, isolating
your hands unwanted motions from the camera. The up and down movement
eliminates the bouncing action. You can quickly adjust the cameras
horizontal balance due to the ability of the camera platform to
move back and forth and side to side. Adjusting the camera's vertical
balance is accomplished by varying the amount of counterweight disks
on the base platform. Once balanced, the camera floats and you are
ready for action.

 Glidecam
4000 Pro
With the Glidecam 4000 Pro you will enter a realm
where you are free to pan, tilt, boom or run without any camera
instability or shake. Move with your camera. Super-smooth tracking
shots, and the ability to shoot fluid traveling shots from moving
vehicles are not just possible; they're a way of life. This is the
world of the Glidecam 4000 pro.
The Glidecam 4000 Pro is a lightweight, hand-held
camcorder stabilizing system designed for cameras weighing from
4 to 10 pounds.
The Glidecam 4000 pro is newly designed and now
has a no-tools telescoping center post, a sleek and lighter base
which allows you to quickly attach and dynamically adjust the counterweight
disks, a foam handle grip, a lighter gimbal with a more compact
main bearing assembly and a new yoke design.
The combined results of our new design elements create a stabilization
system that works so gracefully and professionally, you'll see why
the idea of making a camera glide through the air isn't just a dream,
it's a reality.

 Glidecam
V-8
With the introduction of the GLIDECAM V-8, Glidecam
Industries, Inc. can say that it offers the most affordable and
versatile line of professional camera stabilizers in the world.
The Glidecam V-8 boasts its unique and exclusive
Orbital Hinge technology that is designed to increase the isolation
between the operator's hip and the Dyna Elastic Arm. The Orbit Hinge
accomplishes this isolation with the ability to rotate 360 degrees.
This rotation allows the back end of the Rigid Arm to continuously
move in an unobstructed orbital path around the Glidecam Vest Mounting
Plate.
The Glidecam V-8’s new and compact Dyna-Elastic
Arm is designed to counteract the weigh of the combined camera and
Camera Mounting Assembly (the Sled) by employing a high carbon alloy
spring. The 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 that isolates the motions of the operator
from the camera in a way that creates ultra smooth shots. The spring
force is field adjustable to allow for varying camera weights.
The Glidecam V-8 Professional Camera Stabilization
System allows you to walk, run, go up and down stairs, shoot from
moving vehicles and travel over uneven terrain with out and camera
instability or shake. The Glidecam V-8 is designed primarily for
use with lightweight video camcorders and 8mm motion picture cameras.
The Glidecam Support Vest is lightweight and comfortable
and can be easily adjusted to fit a wide range of operators. High
endurance closed cell, FVA foam padding and integral T6 aluminum
alloy create a Vest which can hold and evenly distribute the weight
of the Glidecam V-8 system across the operator's shoulders, back,
and hips. For safety, quick release, high impact buckles allow the
Vest to be removed quickly.
The Glidecam V-8 is perfect for shooting the type
of super smooth tracking shots. The V-8 instantly adds high production
value to every scene. The main virtue of a body-mounted system is
that it allows you to shoot for long periods of time with very little
fatigue.
The Glidecam V-8 is recommended for shooting commercials,
industrials, weddings, documentaries, news, music video's or feature
length motion pictures. Allow the Glidecam V-8 to finally bring
the fluidity and grace of professional, body mounted, camera stabilizers
to your productions.

 Glidecam
Body-Pod
The Glidecam Body-pod is a lightweight rigid support system. When
the Glidecam Body-pod is used with either the Glidecam 2000 Pro,
or Glidecam 4000 Pro hand-held stabilizers, it allows all the weight
of the system to be supported by your body, instead of just your
arms. The Body-pod allows you to shoot in cushioned comfort for
indefinite periods of time and it takes the stabilizer's weight
out of your hands and arms and displaces the weight onto your waist
and shoulders. Stress and fatigue are virtually eliminated, allowing
you the freedom to shoot events that require uninterrupted shooting.
The Glidecam Body-pod is designed to allow you to quickly slide
the handle of either the 2000 Pro, or 4000 Pro on and off its
rigid support, so you can quickly switch back and forth between
hand-held stabilization shooting and body mounted shooting.
Since the support of the Body-pod is rigid and for the most part
inflexible, it will not absorb and smooth out camera movements
as well as a stabilizer which is being held in just your hands.
However, shooting with your stabilizer attached to the rigid support
of the Body-pod still yields results that are far better than
unstabilized, hand-held shooting or shoulder supported shooting.
Once you get used to using the Glidecam Body-pod, you won't
want to shoot anything without it.
