In reply to Michael Aers. @Michael Aers - No the Glidecam HD1000 will be too small. You would be better with the HD2000 for that setup.

I have a Nikon D7000 and D7100 with 35, 50, and 85mm 1.8 lenses. Will the HD 1000 be able to handle all of those lenses combined with the camera weight?

In reply to john. @john - Practice and you'll get stronger. If you have to shoot for a long time, look into a vest system like the new one I posted about: httpss://cheesycam.com/new-dual-arm-stabilizer-vest-vs-steadicam-merlin-vest/

Emm,whats your technique for holding the glider for more than 2-3 mins straight?

I have a 7D and 17-55 mounted, and i cant hold it up for long...even for a minute straight!....

Hey,

I was wondering which glidecam to get with a T4i and 18-135mm STM Kit Lens.

We (my company) went from the Merlin to the Glidecam HD1000. We made a conscious decision that if we wanted "steady" shots then we simply wouldn't worry about audio. In a pinch we use the Zoom H4N and rig a mic to a wrist strap so that it's pointing roughly wherever we point the camera. The audio workaround is not ideal but the smaller form factor lets us use the Glidecam more often. All this to say that I had a real struggle at first trying to decide what we should buy. Dealing with "I really want it to do *this* but what if I also ever need to do *this*?" made it almost impossible to pull the trigger on anything until we though about the types of shots we would want to get. By saying "We will only make these kind of shots when use the Glidecam." it made the choice obvious. As a tip, we followed some advice we saw on another "balance" video and glued 2 tiny bubble levels on to the mount plate. Now we balance in less than 30 seconds.
