I think a shoulder support will be much better for weddings as Glidecam, Steadicams, etc. are heavy.

I have a Glidecam. For moving shots it's absolutely wonderful. For still shots, a tripod would be motionless compared to the swaying potential of the Glidecam. If you have multiple cameras, add one to a glidecam, but don't expect to be able to remove it quickly for those once-in-a-lifetime wedding shots.

Check out the Marzpak™.
Far and away better than any shoulder brace support. More comfort, better angles, and more flexible. http://www.marztech.com I am affiliated with the company, but there are lots of dvinfo members who love it. We've sold lots to glidecam 2000 owners.

i was thinking going along the glidecam route, but in the end decided against it due to the non discretionary aspect of it.. ie all the questios to .. "what is that"
instead, im now using a groovy lil program called steadyhand :) Im also pulling the head of my mandfrotto kit, flipping the lever upside down and using that as a shouldnt for the dvx :) works a treat |

I have a question about the Marzpak™. I'm 6'2", will I have problems with the rig hitting the tops of door frames, or is it adjustable?

The Marzpak is adjustable.
You can raise and lower the mast from head height to almost arms reach high. The $3500 EZRig2 is not adjustable. That said, you need to watch what you're doing and be careful all the time.
