Glidecam ive heard is a much better investment in the long run than any other remake but ive never heard of the steady tracker. Check the media and arts section.

My friend films with a glidecam and it works great on the slopes and the shots come out really smooth. The only hard part to it is getting the balance right. Never heard of steady tracker until you said it but it looks really bulky and heavy. If you ask me, glidecam is the way to go.

the steadytracker doesn't even have a handle...? Just get a glidecam, or a DNA 5050 if you want to save a little money without losing too much quality, or an Opteka SV-HD if you want a solid piece of gear for cheap
