The Glidecam HD-PRO is designed to work correctly
only when operated with two hands. (See gure 46
and 48) If you try to operate the unit with just your
“HOLDING HAND”, the Camera will most likely
drift away from it’s original position. Without your
“GUIDING HAND” in place, you will be unable to
control the direction of the Camera

You can also attach an external LCD MONITOR to
the accessory shoe on the top of your Camcorder.
We believe that better results are obtained when
you attach the Monitor to the HD-PRO’s base, (See
Figure 47) because this way you generally have to
look slightly down to see the Monitor. In doing so,
your feet are more visible to your peripheral vision.
This makes negotiating obstacles with the HD-PRO
safer.
When Operating the Glidecam HD-PRO you will
not be able to put your eye right up to the eye-cup
on the viewnder, for doing so will cause the unit to
be restricted in it’s ability to stabilize and eliminate
Camera shake. Even though you cannot place your
eye directly up to the Camera viewnder, you can
either use the Camera’s built-in LCD MONITOR or
attach an external LCD MONITOR (not included)
directly to the BASE PLATFORM of the HD-
PRO. A 1/4” Monitor “MOUNTING HOLE” is
located at the front of the BASE PLATFORM.
