GlideCam 1000 HD OR 2000 HD

[FatWhore]

So I have a T3i and planning on useing a Tamron 17-50 and a Rode VideoMic with it on the Glidecam. Should I get a 1000 or a 2000 with the weight of the camera and other add on's? Also does anyone have one they'd like to sell? Just wondering what a used is going to run me! Thanks!

I don't have one for sale but def. go with the glidecam 2000. If for whatever reason your setup is too light just add a battery pack to it (which I prefer anyways). You'd rather have room for play

Sweet, +K

Yah deffibately get the 2000 so you have room to expand to bigger glass. I think the 1

The 1000 is more ment for small camcorders like hv40's.

Thanks! do you know of anyone who has one for sale?

I use it with my gh2 and the 14-42 or 25mm f1.4, and either way I only need 1 weight on each side to have it balanced with a proper drop time. If you are flying a whole rig, it might be different, but you need your camera to be within the weight range

im usin a 60d with a rode videomic pro and tamron 14mm, 2000 is perfect

LOOK AT THE WEIGHT RANGES AND WEIGH YOUR CAMERA + ACCESSORIES....... NOT THAT HARD

Or the searchbar. that works to.

 

[MLeone]

true but searchbar i doubt will have weight of specific camera items or the exact same scenario as him

believe it or not, t3i/t2i with a tamron 17-50 and rode mic are a pretty common setup. Theres probably a thread with this exact title each month. But to OP, get the 2000 no doubt

 

[FatWhore]

whoaa bud.

 

[MLeone]

caps was unintentional, caps lock and didnt notice sorry lol

 

[FatWhore]

ohh its cool

I honestly dont think ANYONE should buy a hd1000... its made for small handicams.

 

[FatWhore]

alright, sounds like a 2000 it is. Do you know of anyone selling one?
