understandable but that pvc rig can be held differently than the metal ones and can be used for other stuff.

even though there are those options...dude just make a simple handle like asian alien is saying. of the few times i like what he is saying...this is one. there is no fucking need for that gigantic thing. just hold the camera. i have a gl-2 and i hardly use the handle for follows. way more stable when you actually hold the camera. just hold the camera or film tripod. i realized that film comes out way better when you use tripod or hold the camera near a rail. follows get bumpy even with my glide cam...
