#10 OTHER CAMERA ATTACHMENT

METHODS

Creating a Gasket: If when attaching your camera to the QUICK RELEASE PLATE you nd that

the bottom of your camera isn’t at enough to allow a good solid attachment, try making and adding

a paper/cloth or rubber gasket to the QUICK RELEASE PLATE. (Try using a piece of a rubber

dish washing glove.) Simply cut the material to the size of the top of the QUICK RELEASE

PLATE and then create a hole in it to allow the CAMERA MOUNTING BOLT to t through it and

into the base of your Camcorder.

#11 PROFESSIONAL USAGE

If you are using the Glidecam HD-PRO to shoot professional looking shots, and you plan on

incorporating them into a short movie or some sort of commercial project, we suggest that you

plan the shot out in advanced, perhaps rehearse the move a few times before shooting, and that

you have an assistant to help you during complex shots. This will give you optimum results and will

make your movies look more professional.

Good luck with your shooting

#12 MAINTENANCE

Bearing Maintenance: The main bearing on your Glidecam HD-PRO is attached to the Central

Support Post about two inches down from the top. It is metal and is partially enclosed by the

Bearing Assembly. If after some period of time your bearing doesn’t turn smoothly, you can oil it

lightly with light lubricating oil. We recommend that you use very little oil. Very little, because this

all that is needed, plus anything more than a little will end up coming out of the bearing and on to

the rest of your Glidecam HD-PRO. Light lubricating oil may also be used if needed on the YOKE

and HANDLE BEARINGS. Be sure to keep the oil away from your Camera and clean up any over

spill when done.

Cleaning: Do not use solvents or harsh cleaners of any kind on your Glidecam HD-PRO. If the

unit becomes dirty, use only a cloth or sponge with water to gently rub the unit clean.

Storage: If going to store your Glidecam HD-PRO for a long period of time then please store the

unit upright in a dry or low to normal humidity area whenever possible. If you are unable to nd an

environment like this, then we suggest you store the unit in an air tight plastic container or bag.
