#10 ñ OTHER CAMERA ATTACHMENT METHODS
Quick Release Plate info - You can install a “Quick Release Plate” (not included) between your
Camera base and the HEAD PLATE of your Glidecam 2000 Pro if you wish. We recommend the
Bogen 3270, or 3273 “Quick Release Plates”. The Bogen 3273 is good for longer Cameras. See the
instructions provided by Bogen regarding the installation of their equipment. You can buy two of
these “Quick Release Plates” and use one on your Glidecam 2000 Pro and one on your tripod for
example. This will allow you to quickly transfer your Camera between the two pieces of equipment.
Creating a gasket - If you can easily rotate the HEAD PLATE on the base of your Camera, even
though you have adequately tightened the CAMERA MOUNTING SCREW, and you do not feel
comfortable tightening the CAMERA MOUNTING SCREW any more, then you should think about
using some sort of a flexible “Gasket” between your Camera base and the HEAD PLATE. You could
use rubber tape, a piece of cloth, flat cork or a square flat piece of rubber that you create by cutting up
an old rubber dishwashing glove for example. Simply cut the material to the size of the top of the
HEAD PLATE and than create a hole in it to allow the CAMERA MOUNTING BOLT to fit through it
and into the base of your Camcorder.
#11 ñ PROFESSIONAL USAGE
If you are using the Glidecam 2000 Pro to shoot professional looking shots, and you plan on incorporating
them into a short movie or some sort of commercial or artistic project, we suggest that you preplan the
shot out in advance, rehearse the move a few times before shooting, and use an assistant to help you
during complex shots. This will give you optimum results and will make your movies etc. look more
professional.
Good luck with your shooting.
