How to Balance a Glidecam - Panasonic DVX200

[@andrewpeck3171]

That beginning is the best into for a tutorial ever

[@EdRickerVlogs]

Haha thanks for watching!

[@TommyValentine]

You ever thought about going in front of the camera...I actually thought you were from another country at the beginning , Great acting skills sir....Thanks For teaching us your skills..I’m always learning here at YT University. I’m subbed.

[@EdRickerVlogs]

Haha thanks for the compliments! Check out my old acting reel ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYrEeqKimtiqqaM

[@UXXV]

That was awesome! I had a 150 from 2009 till a few months ago, now have the DVX200 and also the Glidecam HD 4000 ... Good match!

[@EdRickerVlogs]

Awesome! I'm planning to sell my 150 when the UX90 comes out. Good upgrade. I checked out your channel, some of your videos seem to be shot on other cameras. What else do you shoot with?

[@UXXV]

I checked the prices and it doesnt seem worth selling the 150 here in the UK. All the club videos were on the 150 until 2 months ago then on to the DVX but having all kinds of trouble trying to get the same kind of punchy look from it. The other stuff is on the Nikon D800 with fast lenses and the weddings a combo of HMC150 and Nikon. Have you got a blog of Facebook page btw?

[@EdRickerVlogs]

Do you use Scene File 3 for the DVX200? It's got a bit more saturation and contrast dialed in. My Facebook for my video business is here: facebook.com/SandhillsVideography

[@UXXV]

I tried to emulate the 150 but havent had the time yet to properly dial it in - will have a look at scene 3 though :)

[@TommyValentine]

You have great acting skills, you should maybe think about being in front of the camera, I actually thought at the beginning you were from another country..lol great video !!!!! YT University right here . Thanks again !!! I’m subbed .

[@annmariekelly631]

Hi Ed, Great tutorial, I see Im coming 6 year late though! Has the Glidecam been updated since then - what model would you advise today? Dont have a huge budget

[@EdRickerVlogs]

Hi, well I no longer use the DVX200 for walking shots that might require stabilization. I mainly use the Panasonic GH5/GH6 for that now. So i use a DJI Ronin S for a motorized stabilizer rather than something manual like a glidecam. But a Ronin wouldn't fit the bigger DVX200 anyway.

[@juancarlosguzman2827]

Awesome tutorial I want to buy the glued cam but just checking before , do you focus manually? Do you put focus point in the middle? I mean in a dslr, please let me know thank you always watch your channel is very cool and clear to understand your explanation

[@יצחק-ק5ע]

thumbs up ! very good video

[@lukejm106]

Do you think the HD-2000 Glidecam be suitable for the dvx200?

[@EdRickerVlogs]

The HD-2000 is only rated for up to 6 pounds. The DVX200 is heavier than that. HD-4000 would work though.

[@harshkhare338]

Can this glidecam be used for sony Pxw z150 ?

[@TruckinBeagle]

I'm curious why you ask that? I am comparing this camera and the z150. Can't decide which to get. The Panasonic has a larger sensor and sounds like it does better in low light. Also like the size. Got any recommendations? Thank you!

[@saybrooker]

Great video! I am getting back into video after being away from it for years so forgive the basic question. While using the Glidecam with the DVX200 do you have the stabilization setting in the camera off? Thanks. Keep up the great work!

[@EdRickerVlogs]

Thanks for watching! Yes, that's the OIS button. I usually keep it on for glidecam work...seems to cover up any slight imperfections with the glidecam movement.

[@adipop]

Even today 2020 this is fantastic video ;)like #217 and sub

[@wamm_studios5975]

Hi I'm having a problem streaming via SDI with the DVX200 it only shows color stripes... Can you help me with this please Thanks

[@lorageproductions]

what rig can you use to lesson weight on the arms?

[@EdRickerVlogs]

Since the handle is hollow, you might be able to use a regular glidecam arm/vest setup with it. More research would have to be done though.

[@lifestorypictures-site]

What model of the glidecam do you use in this demo? What model of the glidecam would you recommend if one adds a Atomos recorder at the back end of the camera?

[@EdRickerVlogs]

I use the Devin Graham Signature Glidecam. The Devin Graham model allows for the heaviest cameras among the entire glidecam line (without vest), so it's probably the best one to use if you're also using an Atomos.

[@PignaGroup]

Fantastic!!! Thank you!!!

[@PignaGroup]

Do you turn off the Electronic stabilization when you use glidecam?

[@EdRickerVlogs]

Pigna Group I keep it on.

[@simongentry]

ty for posting!

[@chrisw443]

Lol good video. I use a sony rx10 mark 2 on a one handed gimbal. However I dont get that organic movement.

[@echostarling84]

I want to get into these tools but they are always too heavy for me and I just default to Adobe Warp Stabilizer to save me xD

[@PignaGroup]

Do you suggest to shoot at 30fps or 60fps with glidecam?

[@EdRickerVlogs]

For most glidecam stuff, I usually shoot in 24fps or 60fps. I usually export out at 24fps for most of my beauty projects. I try to shoot at 24fps if it's video of any existing motion (cars, people walking, etc.). I might do 60fps and slow it down for smoother motion if it's just scenery or buildings or whatever, or if slo-mo people/cars/environment is desirable. One big thing to consider is that the DVX200 crops the image in a lot when bumping up to 60fps at UHD, so sometimes the crop is undesirable or won't work for the situation. In that case, 24 is necessary. For example, if I'm gliding around a car in a tight area, I may not be able to get the entire car in the shot if I'm shooting at 60, so I have to drop it down to 24 to get the wider angle.

[@PrazzayasWorld]

Can someone tell me what cams and glide mechanisms are used at professional concerts??? A big camera was used on some type of glide string which sent the camera all around the concert to film jayz and Beyoncé

[@EdRickerVlogs]

Hey, is it something like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpKYmpyGnriGe6c

[@PrazzayasWorld]

Ed Ricker yes this is what i was looking for thanks a million

[@vmstories8918]

Panasonic ux 90 also same please reply

[@PignaGroup]

I tried to use glidecam with Dvx200 But it's much heavy..Maybe i'll buy the glidecam smoother (arm vest)

[@cryhavoc38]

and now in 2022, just use a beefy gimbal ;)

[@PignaGroup]

how many second? 90 degress

[@EdRickerVlogs]

Maybe 1.5 or 2 seconds, depending on environment. More time if I want to tilt upward as I walk with it.

[@PignaGroup]

how many seconds to reduce pendulum effect? :)

[@EdRickerVlogs]

More seconds for less pendulum.

[@vmstories8918]

Please reply ux90also avilabe

[@totorohaha1]
