I never really see too many people in the ski community using them. Ask Ben_collins. I'm sure he'll be next to reply to this thread

I'd put this in the Media and Arts forum, but i find that filming with a glide cam is easier and the shot turns out less shaky and shitty

I think they're awesome. I am a filmer so I rely on them to get the shot for skiing. It takes a real learning curve but after a while you learn how to do it. 4bi9 has been using them for forever and they are very good at using them

Step 1: Buy VX1000 with a fisheye lens.
Step 2: Paint it yellow and green.
Step 3: Film at low angles.
Step 3: Shout "chicken bone nowison" every time you get a homie's trick on film.
Step 4: Get a nickname, preferably your nickname should be a dog breed.

Congrats, now you have the best footage possible, no glidecam needed.

Glidecam seems to be #1 when it comes to non-electronic manual stabilization. The reason they are great for skiing is because nothing is electronic and it doesn't require a battery. This is really important when you are skiing because batteries don't last at all in the cold.There is a bit of a learning curve to using a Glidecam but once you get used to it you can produce some fairly great shots.
