I believe they are just Neewer Quick release plates. They are like 13 dollars on Amazon.

Manfrotto 323 quick release, though you can buy the cheap version on eBay or amazon.

Its alright with a glidecam, but fisheyes obv work better with a skate style approach to filming.
But for the most part I dont think so. Heres an edit i made with it back in february.

One thing to note tho, if you have a videomic with a deadcat it will show up in the top of your shot.

I looked this up and it appears that the bottom is not flat? Wouldn't that make it really difficult to use?
