Hi Mike,
Sorry...I missed your question. A search for tripod head on Ebay brings up quite a few options. I think the Velbon is about the cheapest you will get with a fluid head. All the best Alastair |

This device looks pretty cool... I'm with another poster who mentioned finding any specs on your website is not easy. You know how us web surfers are, we just want to find info fast and intuitively! :) Just a friendly suggestion to help us info seekers and purchasers... next to each product listing I'd list it very clearly the length (metric and english versions), the weight load of each one, and the total weight of the unit itself.
How much do these things weigh, each size separately? I'd be hiking with mine... I have Microdolly track and dolly which is pretty lightweight for a track/dolly system, but for extended backpacking trips this might suffice for some basic camera movement. The product looks good and the price is right, I just need some specs. Gracias! |

Alastair,
Great looking product - and that porsche vid is a killer sales tool. I'm not sure how much weight your loaded up A1 is, but I've got an XLH1 (around 10 pounds) how well could I expect the Glidetrack to handle it. Thanks.

Hi Ken,
I would say go with the HD version for the H1. |

Yes, I just wanted to be sure that the HD could handle the weight. I believe the XH-A1 are quite a bit lighter than the XL's

It's not a very scientific test however, the HD version if spanned across two seats, will take my full weight 79kg (175lbs) if I stand on the carriage.

Ok I want one... I would like to buy the SD. Would it work well with a DVX100 and staticDOF adapter (total weight 10lbs). I would be afraid that the beam might bend a little from the weight all to one side. I know that there is the HD version. but if the SD will work, I rather go with that.

I have to mention that I received my HD Glidetrack this morning. I
have to admit that I was not expecting receiving the order so fast. From UK to Tampa Florida took just two days after placing online the order! Alastair Thanks for the service!! |

Hi Alistair just had a good look at your product and very impressed.
Only downside is that I use a Satchler Video 20 II with a 100mm bowl. I think I would have to buy a new tripod especially for the Glidetrack as the Satchler would be unsuitable. |
