EX1 with Glidecam
 

I am using my EX1 with a Glidecam 4000 and Smooth Shooter X-10 vest/arm.
Works great!
Here is a mod I made for my Glidcam 4000 so that balancing is extremely fast and positive.

Perform the gross adjustments with the Glidecam sled, then fine tune it with the micrometric stages.
You'll need 2 Manfrotto micrometric adjustment stages mounted at 90 degress from each other and a manfrotto quick release on top.

I also have a glidecam, and had many troubles to stabilize it. I want to find something somewhat like you did, but havn't find a solution yet.

Isn't your solution too heavy ?
The EX1 on the glidecam is already hard to handle more than 20 seconds without shaking :)

Definitely have to have the Vest and Arm. There is no way you could hand hold the EX1 and just the sled. I ran the EX1 on a glidecam 4000 with the vest and arm this weekend. Worked like a glidecam. It's not a SteadiCam but your not paying for a SteadiCam either.

get the X-10 upgrade
 

Chris, I got the X-10 upgrade for the arm and mount and it makes a HUGE difference! It's very much worth the price/performance improvement.
BTW, I shot a single take that was nearly an hour long as a walk through of a Bio lab using it with a Z1U with Sony WA adapter/wireless receiver...I was tired but not exhausted. It really does help lots. BTW the micro attachment adds about a pound total...I removed one of the weight plates on the top sled to compensate. I currently use a drop time of 3+ seconds
