Looking for Canon GL2 camcorder “Non-Tripod” support recommendations, bot a
I have a Canon GL2, and I want to purchase some type of device that is a Non-Tripod device, that I can use to replace hand holding the camcorder. I am looking for suggestion for some type of body mount,or even hand held mount that will give me steady shots.
As always thanks in advance for your reply to my Post,
Sebastian

…..the Glidecam 2000 is a fairly inexpensive item……there’s a pretty decent learning / setting up curve to it, but it works.

Steadicam. wooty. I’ve owned a JR for like 15 years, and it’s been fantastic with the DV cams. I’ve always wanted to get a vest unit, but never had the scratch to spare. BUT, I can say that a handheld unit (like the JR) is only good until your arm tires out. So, I’d go for a vest if I was buying now. Trouble is, it takes quite a bit of time to get proficient with these things, and you won’t know if a unit is good until you’ve “flown” it for awhile. I’d assume the Steadicam units, though the most expensive, are probably at least as good or better than the others. But I’ve also heard good reports about Glidecam. On the plus side, you can probably do without a monitor, as you can use the GL’s LCD. Big $$ saver.
