Glidecam for different cameras?

Thinking about investing in a glidecam hd 4000 for my hvx. I was wondering if myself or my bro got a t2i later down the road if the glidecam would work for both of them or if the t2i wouldnt be heavy enough and wouldnt balance it correctly. anyone on here know?

you could probably pull at 2000 off for both, but I'm not positive. EHeath uses a 4000 for his, but I've heard of people flying a 2000 with an HVX. The 2000 works fine for a t2i (I used one).

using the 2000 with the hvx doesnt work, ive tried it. The hvx is 7lbs(plus wide angle) and the 2000 is for up to 6lbs. the 4000 will not work with a t2i.

to be honest that looks shitty
but I've never used it so I don't know, I would just stick to a glidecam

Looks like a ripoff glidecam, probably works the same.
