Alright so lately I've been really getting into making movies, skiing, trampoline and stuff like that. This kid wants to sell me a perfectly good glidecam XR-2000 for $75. Do you guys think its worth it?

+k for help

-k for hate
 
yes, 75 bucks is a steal. not too familiar with the xr series but i love my hd glidecam and you can get creative and use it for all sorts of videos. they're an awesome investment
 
thats a steal of a deal if it works and everything. i have been looking at different options for about a month now and glide cam seems to be the best choice out there....but if your like me thats a wee bit out of my price range so i did some reasearch found some alternatives watched about a billion DIY videos and then i stumbled across FLYCAM stabalization systems they seem to be pretty much the same thing as a glide cam just a hell of alot cheaper im not sure about the comparison between the two but everyone says they seem to be fairly equal. i myself am going to order a flycam soon :D but my 2 cents is just do a little bit of reasearch about other options if this 75 $ one doesnt fall through or if its all brokn and shitty

heres a link to a website where you can buy all sorts of neat dslr accessories this link takes you right to the flycam model ill be ordering http://www.proaimshop.com/pas/product.php?productid=17822
 
I'm very interested in this brand, ''flycam''.They look virtually identical and for a fraction of the price.

Does anyone have experience using the flycams? Or has anyone heard any pro's con's?
 
such a steal do it, im looking to buy a glide cam, but the fly cam looks like a cheaper alternative that will do the job
 
if you don't but the $75 glidecam most of ns will happily get into a bid war over it or at least all the ones that don't have a glidecam like me.
 
I have a flycam...it sucks a lot. Hard to balance correctly, screws loosen up way too easily. I'll sell you mine for 50 bucks obo. Getting a glidecam, dont want to deal with the hassle of shaky shots
 
you serious? I'm about to buy one new for $170. I'd gladly buy yours for $50 lol.Is anyone else selling a flycam?
 
anyone else find it funny how qyzxyzxa, coleaddison, and jibcrew all commented on this old thread in a row saying stupid shit? all we need is splice now
