I want to buy a cheap stabilization system for my GL2. The only thing is, I plan to upgrade to an XL2 in a year or so and I'm wondering if I should go for the 4k instead of the 2k glidecam model. The specifications say the load for the 4k is 4-10lbs, while the 2k is 2-6lbs. The dilemma being that the GL2 and XL1 each fall into different categories.
I'm wondering that a boom mic, lcd screen, and batteries will boost the weight enough on the GL2 (it weighs in around 2.5 lbs) to make the minimal load for the 4k. I'd like to get the 4k to avoid having to sell the 2k when I part with my GL2.
Also, does anyone have any sample footage that was shot with either of the glidecam models?
Thanks.
