Clemens,
I've used the Glidecam 4000 with mine as well as the least expensive vest by Varizoom. I think the total cost is less than $1500 US. With the Wide Angle lens and a good light on the camera, it does push towards the higher end of the weight range. But, for short little bursts, it works fine. I'll see if I have anything on CF card to post. |

Clemens,
Just remember, in my little experience, don't push the weight limit towards the max. Less is better, unless you have a higher-quality arm. Glidecam also carries a wrist/arm glove that transfers some of the weight off your wrist, if you decide to use just the Glidecam 4000 without the vest. How long of a shot are you trying to get? -Chad |

Do a search here for much info on the Flycam. I have heard a wide variety of things about the rig, some are satisfied, others are not.

It looks nice and can hold a larger camera. I'd do what Charles suggested and look for as many reviews as possible. I'm looking for a new rig and will be selling my stuff when I find a better solution. I tried on the Stedicam Flyer at NAB and it was awesome, not to mention a bit out of my price range.
