Each HD-Series Stabilizer�s offset, foam cushioned, Handle Grip is attached to a free floating, three axis Gimbal.� This allows your hand to move up and down, and side-to-side, thereby isolating your hand�s unwanted motions from the camera. This up and down movement alleviates the bouncing, pogo type action often associated with our competitor�s system because their handle cannot move up and down.� This design feature, coupled with the overall higher inertia of the� HD-Series systems, produces superior stabilization when compared with our competition. A unique and proprietary, precision, three axis Gimbal incorporates several adjustable, axis convergence controls.� This allows all three axes to intersect for proper operational alignment. A camera-mounting platform with a quick-release, no-tools, drop-on camera plate allows you to quickly attach or remove your camera.� Ergonomic, control knobs allow quick, precise adjustment of the top stage�s back and forth, and side-to-side movement.� These controls allow you to adjust the camera�s horizontal balance.� By varying the amount of Counter Weights on the Base Platform, or by changing the length of the no-tools telescoping Central Post, you adjust the camera's vertical balance. When balanced properly the camera floats, ready for you to move into action. The Glidecam HD Series stabilizers offer unparalleled controllability and ease of use with their unique rigid, yet dynamically adjustable, control and weight distribution surfaces.� Setting up, controlling and adjusting system balance is now quick and precise. A unique and proprietary Dynamic Base Platform can expand or contract.� This allows you to easily adjust the systems dynamic balance or to increase or decrease the systems rotational pan inertia.
Shot after shot, move after move, the Glidecam HD-Series Stabilizers deliver beautifully smooth and professional results.� With the Glidecam HD-Series you no longer need a tripod or a dolly.� All you need is your Imagination! Glidecam Industries, now becoming the choice of a generation. �Glidecam makes your decisions concerning camera stability and movement, simple and easy.� When you wish for your camera to glide smoothly along your chosen path, simply rely, as so many have and still do, on using a Glidecam Camera Stabilizer.� Glidecam Industries, Inc., now in its seventeenth year, offers a wide range of camera stabilizers each optimized for various camera weights and shooting conditions.
