Super Quick Glidecam question

So I have a chance to get the glidecam 1000 pro for super cheap. it was discontinued a while ago, so information is pretty hard to find about it.


anyone have any experience with it? I want to use it with a basic t2i and lens setup. no mics, and no battery grips. do you think i'll be able to get away with this instead of going for the heavier and more expensive 2000 pro or 1000 hd?

thanks guys.

Should be okay, the t2i is very light.

that sucks! I'm pretty sure glidecam's have a minimum optimal weight anyways. i.e. the glidecam 4000 pro is something like 4-8 pounds, over or under that it isn't the optimal weight. If you can find out the minimum weight, you might have some luck in your misfortune; you could have bought something that wouldn't have worked that well
