Prech,

"Alien" blood is from the movie "Alien" where they cut into the dead alien's body during an examination and the blood (acid) dropped onto the floor and burned through it and about 4 more floors below it. It was a joke meaning that you don't want to spill any liquid as you walk.

------------

If you do any one of the three previously mentioned points you should get better results with any stabilizer. The fact that the GC is heavier than the JR is in point #1. #1. normally wouldn't apply to you as you don't want any more weight to carry around but if you did have a heavier camera on the JR, the shot would be more stable.

The biggest helps for you will be the things you can change. Since you have a JR and don't really want it heavier then you should concentrate on numbers 2 and 3.

An example...Charles P. tried out my rig a while back and he got some very good shots even though he's used to a much heavier system (point #1). He has perfected the 2nd and 3rd principles so the shot looked very good. I'll try and find it so it can be posted on my website.

In conclusion, if you work on the 2nd and 3rd principles then you can take better shots with any system that you use.

Finally, i have my glidecam 2000 pro!
Here in Hungary i cannot buy a JR.
But i like this GC too.
It wasnt cheap (2 weddings here)
I make relaxation dvds, and i hope i can use it also for my movies.
Walking in the forest, etc.

Prech,

Congratulations on getting your 2000 Pro. You will be able to get some very good shots with it. There are loads of posts on this forum that will help you get the most out of your investment.

Just from a point of interest, what did the 2000 Pro cost you over in Hungry? If you can let me know, we can convert it to USD. We would like to know because we have a friend from Hungry and we hope to be doing business there soon.

P.S. Let us know when your arm gets real tired. We can fix that.

So, i have my glidecam 2000, i enjoy it.
But i need a quick release mount.
My friend has a manfrotto 501 head, and he has a mount.
But my head is only 128RC, and i dont find a quick release mount for
this type. Is there any? What can i do?
There isn't much time to get my xm2 from the glidecam in wedding situation.

thx,
Marton

Terry:

the 2000 pro cost in hungary 106.000 HUF incl. every tax, etc.
about 450-500 usd.

"P.S. Let us know when your arm gets real tired. We can fix that."

HOW?

I believe a Bogen 128RC is a 3130 in the U.S. Does it look like this?

If so, then all you need is the Bogen 3299 quick release system. This uses the same QR plates as the one on the 3130.

Yes, my head looks exactly like this.
And 3299 is what i need!
Can i contact it to my gc2000, right?

thank you very much,
Marton

Yes, you should be able to screw it to your Glidecam. The bottom of the 3299 accepts a 1/4"-20 screw so just use the screw that you are using now to screw your camera to the Glidecam.
