Joe,
It takes patience and practice to get the balance correct. You really do need to shoot for that 2 sec drop time to be in the ballpark for stable balance. Tiny adjustments make big differences in the rig's balance relationships. Try altering the length of the shaft, say, 1/4". It just takes experimentation and practice.

joe - just a quick note...in my own experience, a 1.5 second drop time seems to work best in the GL2 / 2000 pro configuration.

Casey ,
thanks for that. I'm starting to get the glidecam sorted. What an absolutely awesome piece or hardware!
