Response to Any tips on operating a Glidecam V-20?

Scott, although I am not familiar with Glidecam's stabilizers I have operated the Steadicam Elite series with a 35mm camera and a HD900 camera. I have also tried out Glidecam's newest stabilizer. When operating don't hold on to the sled hard. the hand that holds the sled is just there to keep the camera pointing strait. Be sure and bend your knees slightly and kind of lean back a little bit. I hope you have a good back. :-) My back is bad but I HAVE to operate if you know what I mean. With practice you will get better. Balance it right and just do the best you can trying to maintain the best fluidity of the camera. I hope this helps.
