Professional Stability: Glidecam Stabilizers HD-Pro

Let’s face it, no matter how hard your software is working, the calm shot captured amid the chaos of a shoot depends in part on the hardware you’re carrying. 

Glidecam’s new HD-Pro offers precision mechanics that eliminate vibrations from your filming, whether you’re following someone in a half-pipe or rolling up the Rockies. This boutique Boston support equipment company has been in the business of stabilizers since 1992, and though moviemaking technology has come a long way in the past quarter-century, what hasn’t changed is the need for a steady camera in the middle of harrowing action. 

With an MSRP of $499, it lets low-profile cameras perform with more balance and strength. The very first bulk buyer of this product was the US Army, which apparently has a growing need for stable camerawork. Made of American-fired T6 aluminum—the type of non-corrosive material used for building airplanes—the HD-Pro precision gimble fits cameras up to 10 pounds and features a drop-in (as opposed to slide-in) dovetail quick-release, making instant steadiness easily accessible on the fly.
