The Glidecam Support Vest
The Glidecam Support Vest is lightweight and comfortable can
be adjusted to fit a wide range of operators. High endurance,
closed cell, EVA foam padding and integral T6 aluminum alloy
create a vest which can hold and evenly distribute the weight
of the Glidecam V-16 and Glidecam V-20 systems across the
operator's shoulders, back, and hips. For safety, quick release,
high impact buckles allow the vest to be removed quickly.
The
Dyna-Elastic Arm
The Exoskeletal, Dyna-Elastic adjustable Support Arm is designed
to counteract the weight of the combined camera and Camera
Mounting Assembly by employing high carbon alloy springs.
The Arm may be boomed up and down, as well as pivoted in and
out , and side to side. It is the combined booming and pivoting
action of the Arm which isolates the motions of the operator
from the camera in a way that creates ultra-smooth shots.
The spring force is field adjustable to allow for varying
camera weights. For safety, a Dual-Spring design is employed
to reduce spring failure damage.
The
Three Axis Gimbal
A free floating, precision, Three Axis Gimbal incorporating
Integrally Shielded Bearings creates the super-smooth and
pivotal connections between the front end of the Dyna-Elastic
Arm and the Camera Mounting Assembly. The Three Axis Gimbal
provides the operator with finger tip control over fluid tilting,
panning and rolling. A locking mechanism allows the Gimbal
to be placed at varying positions on the Central Support Post.
Moving the Gimbal effectively adjusts the Systems Center of
Gravity. The upper portion of the Sled is Central Support
Post includes Guide Scale Markings. These markings allow for
accurate and repeatable Gimbal Positioning.
The
Camera Mounting Assembly
The rugged and adjustable Camera Mounting Assembly (the Sled)
is designed with a lower Telescoping Center Post which allows
for vertical balance adjustments as well as varying lens heights.
The Center Post can be adjusted from 22" to 32".
The Camera Mounting Platform (or x-y motion table) moves back
and forth, and side to side to allow adjustment of the System's
horizontal balance. The Camera Plate has both 1/4" and
3/8" mounting slots (holes) to accommodate a variety
of camera bases. For remote viewing, a LCD Monitor can easily
be attached to a variety of mounting holes on the Base Platform,
or either a LCD, or a CRT Monitor can be attached to the base's
adjustable Monitor Bracket. Remote Viewing eye-wear, like
those by or similar to Virtual Vision®, also enable you
to view exactly what the shooting camera sees. The Base Platform
can also be configured to use fine counterbalance Weight Disks
(included) in the event you choose to not use a Monitor and/or
a Battery on the Base Platform as counterbalance. The back
of the Base Platform has threaded mounting holes for an Anton
Bauer Gold Mount battery adapter plate. A variety of other
mounting holes are supplied on the Base so you can easily
customize the Base to fit your needs. Adjustable "Kick-Stands"
on both sides of the Base give the Sled more stability when
resting on the ground. Camera, Monitor, Cables, Battery and
Battery Plate not included.
