I never got an answer on this one and now suddenly someone with both stabilisers, what are the odds?
So thanks a lot for you reply.
I was suspecting this, in the meantime I had seen a few flowpod video's from users and to tell you the truth, they looked like crap, even on the varizooms site their own demovideo's don't look that great, plus they use big wideangles to smooth out shakes even more.
On the glidecam site and judging from uservids it looked very professional.
I want to use this thing at weddings and the varizoom appealed to me because it was easy to setup and carry along, 2 advantages which are very valuable when you are in the weddingbusiness.
Since that won't be the case with the glidecam I will have to attach my second cam permanently during such a shoot if I want to use it.
Did it take you long before you were able to get your first good looking glidecam shots?
And again, thanks for the answer, your English is not bad at all, if you want you can pm me in Dutch, German or French, no problem.
