Connecting VariZoom Navigator stabilizer arm to Glidecam HD4000 camera rig

14 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • The VariZoom Navigator arm and Glidecam HD4000 do not naturally connect together despite being sold as a package by some retailers.
  • A custom adapter pin may need to be fabricated locally by a machine shop to bridge the size difference between the VariZoom arm post and the Glidecam yoke.
  • Contacting the equipment manufacturer directly is recommended as the best approach for finding an official adapter solution.
  • An alternative solution is to acquire a Glidecam-brand arm instead, as Glidecam equipment is designed to work together as an integrated system.

Depends on

  • The discussion does not confirm whether an official adapter exists or was supposed to be included with the kit.
  • No specific measurements or technical specifications are provided for creating a custom adapter.
  • The geographic limitation mentioned is Greece, but this appears to be a broader availability issue rather than a regional restriction.
