I have one myself and am still struggling to master it, mainly due to lack of time.<\/p>\n<p>The Glidecam varies in price from around $350 to $550. You don&#8217;t need a support vest when using a DSLR, but it will get heavy&#8230;It&#8217;s \u00a0a lot easier to balance than the Steadicam Merlin and of course cheaper. Cristina who along with Jon Connor run <a href=\"http:\/\/www.canonfilmmakers.com\">CanonFilmmakers.com<\/a> have made an excellent tutorial on which one to buy, how to balance and basic movement. She is currently working on a follow video for more advance moves. I really recommend watching this video if you are thinking investing in a steadicam style device for your DSLR or even if you have one and are struggling with it.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/15300979?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;color=942e31\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/15300979\">Glidecam Tutorial Part 1<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/canonfilmmakers\">Cristina Valdivieso + Jon Connor<\/a> on <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>canonfilmmakers.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48,51,31,28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11160","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dslr-gear","category-dslr-shooting","category-dslrs","category-tutorials"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11160","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11160"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11160\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
