DIY Slider
Alastair, I really like your DIY slider.
I may be very interested in ordering one. My question is will it accommodate a Canon H1? Assuming I have a heavy duty tripod. Hank |

Hi Hank,
Sure, H1 should not be a problem. I now ship the Glidetrack with both quarter twenty AND three eigth threads and studs so that you can cover all options. |

Fixing the Glidetrack
Hi Alastair,
Just received my Glidetrack today, thanks ! Looks and feels good. I am fixing my FX1 directly onto the Carriage Mount screw and I am fixing my tripods - a Libec H38 and TH650 - by their quick release plate screws into the 3/8th screw thread on the Glidetrack. However I note that your Velbon head sits on the Carriage Mount - how it's attached I can't work out - but I don't see anyway of getting the Libec heads to do the same. Not sure if this is much of a problem or not and any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks again for your efficient despatch of the Glidetrack. Mike Wade Yorkshire Video Arts |

Thanks for the call, Alastair - very thoughtful and helpful. I think a little tripod head, such as you suggested, will improve things considerably. As it is the Glidecam works brilliantly with the little Sony A1.
Cheers, Mike |
