NO SHIT SHERLOCK!!!!

your point is moot. $30 vs. $450 hmmmmm. We obviously all want a glidecam, but until we can afford it.

I have like one or two quick shots. But I haven't got much of a chance for like a ski edit. I am in the process of doing a huge real estate project and have no time for ski edits really. I will try to get one soon.

As for the stabilizer; never seen that design before, cool!

glidecams arent THAT expensive. I got my 2000 Pro for 180. Im guessing a 1000 pro would be 150. Dont even know if they make 1000 pros anymore. Just look for them used on ebay or craigslist. Completely worth the money

This guy does some pretty good work. AND FOR CHEAP!

He makes a dope crane system for like 30 bucks haha.

Currently working on a dolly/trolly system here. Trying to figure out what would be best for a track.

Looks really, very surprised at the footage!

Do you have a blog or something where you list all the components of it and sizes etc.? I’m off skiing for a week and want some sort of stabilisation but don’t need a glidecam.

Yea that footage did looks suprisingly good for what the rig was.

I'm more interested in your house, such a sick design.

Ahaha I will maybe do a tour of my house soon. I live with my uncle. We just built it this summer and I helped build it. It is mid sized (around 3k sq ft.) not extravagant like most houses out here are (around 8-10k sq ft) but the design is very modern and dope. I will get a shot of the outside, it looks magnificent!
