well i just watched a vid a guy just posted that he filmed with a glide cam, and i went on thier site and checked it out cause i had never heard of it before, and there is a vid on the glidecam site which shows the diff, here it is, its a regular cam with a person running and filming vs. a regular cam with a glidecam 2000 pro with a guy running, i cant believe how stable and sturdy the shots are, its mind blowing how well the glidecam works!!!!!!!!!!!!!

every follow cam shot should employ one of these.

^not nessacerly... you can get pro level follow cams with just a century death lens and a steady, experienced arm.

yeah.
i seriously doubt any ski videographers are using steadicam setups of any kind.
either a tripod or a steady arm.

you just have to conciously keep your arm steady, you cant just ski and point the camera at the dude.
its technique.

but the steadicams wouldnt hurt.
