Here are some suggestions for avoiding fatigue if you do not have the body
harness:
Use alternating hands and share the load. This will take some practice as
you will have to learn to operate the Glidegear 3000 with your other hand,
i.e. your support hand will become your guide hand and your guide hand will
become your support hand. With a little practice, you will become adept at
switching hands, which should allow you about twice the amount of time of
shooting without fatigue.
You can also share the load with your guide hand by using the interlocking
pinky grip as discussed above. Grip the pinky finger of your guide hand with
the grip fingers of your support hand, and you can then help share the load
with your guide hand and support hand. Be aware that this method may make
it more difficult to pan effectively with your guide hand as it is now connected
to the support hand.
Rest the elbow of your support hand on a desk, table, or chair while shooting
when you do not need to be in motion. You can easily flip away from the
resting position and become a motion cam without any visible bumps or
shakes thanks to your Glidegear 3000 camera stabilizer.
Hold the Glidegear 3000 close to your body and shorten your moving shots
if they are not necessary. If you are holding the Glidegear 3000 camera
stabilizer out in front of you, your arms will fatigue much faster than if you are
holding it close to your body.
