I’m just using my monitor on my camera for now. The camera that I use is a Panasonic DVX100. I used my tripod quick release plate to attach the Glidecam 4000 so I could quickly transfer from the Glidecam to my tripod or handheld. However, you still have to do a bit of work to get the camera off the glidecam and back again.
I’ve decided to sell my Smooth Shooter and just keep the Glidecam. The Smooth Shooter is nice for planned out situations, but it’s just not versatile enough for my run-and-gun event situations. Mostly because it doesn’t go low enough or extend high enough for me. Do you know of an extender arm by chance?
