• Gimbal Joint and Handle Grip: The design of the Glidegear 3000 is
engineered to stabilize the camera by moving the center of gravity below
the camera and under the actual gimbal joint. The gimbal will not permit any
angular disturbance to pass through it, so the shakes and bumps caused by
your hand or anything attached to your hand will be absorbed by the gimbal
and isolated from the camera.
• Tracking Knob: Just above the gimbal is the tracking knob. Use your free
hand to aim the camera with this knob. This requires a bit of delicate
maneuvering and becomes easier with practice. Master this and you will be
one very large step further in producing professional quality video.
