Setting up a Glidecam v-20 stabilizer with a Panasonic Varicam camera
20 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- Finding an identical camera and stabilizer combination is uncommon, so learning the principles of how the components function is more useful than copying a specific configuration.
- Glidecam provides direct phone support to answer setup questions about their equipment.
- Alan Gordon Enterprises and experienced Steadicam operators can provide in-person guidance on assembling and balancing stabilizer rigs.
- The Steadicenter website contains reference images of various Steadicam and stabilizer setups.
Depends on
- The advice is based on a 2006 discussion and may not reflect current equipment or support availability.
- No specific technical details about weight distribution or component positioning were provided in the exchange.
- The suggestion to contact Glidecam directly assumes their support services remain available.
