From what I've tested, I found that having different drop-time values for different situations help. For example if you are running through the woods, then a 1 sec drop time works great, versus a 3 second one used for a character gently moving through a scene.

[@oouwoa]

Momentum Productions you should play tommy Oliver in the next power rangers movie

[@thewildcaputo]

Momentum Productions good video very informative

[@2xXaylaXx2]

I thought I bought a trash stabilizer, but I followed the instructions and it works almost perfectly now after 10 minutes of practice. Thanks!

[@ftloc]

This is the best tutorial on balancing I have watched, and I've gone through a few! This is clear, logical, and most importantly it has the right order of doing things! Almost everyone, including my manual, starts off with the camera/plate adjustments on top, but it is only by starting with the weights apart, minimum weight, fully telescoped-out drop test and going from there was I finally able to get it! I still have some micro adjustments, but it at least looks like it is supposed to now, instead of the twirly baton I had earlier! Thank you so much for the thought and detail.

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Don't forget to 'TURN ON NOTIFICATIONS' - simply go to options and select 'all'. You'll only receive notifications when I post a new KZbin video.

[@DamienPeden]

I have watched so many balancing videos over the years, but none of them have made sense until I watched this one. Thanks so much!

[@anthonyroberts9232]

Thanks I got my gimbal for my 60D Canon digital cámara and through your demostration I managed to balance my camara, thanks for the tips on balacing a gimbal, pratice makes perfect.

[@MomentumProductions1992]

I just released a video on how to troubleshoot the most common Glidecam problems! Watch the video HERE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2rOl3Shi9uWatE

[@whatthehellthisis]

Best and most clear tutorial I've seen so far.

[@LoKiiiEditz]

This guy is so majestic.

[@geojames2550]

Momentum productions, can u give me your email address.....so that I can mail u some important details about steadycam and other questions I have , you can clear my doubts.

[@MomentumProductions1992]

[e-mail] :)

[@aptcoree]

so aquaman

[@marcdancer64]

Thanks a lot Josh for making me save 6h ;) you answered every single question I asked myself to get started with the system. Have a great day

[@KIKAN93]

He said re-watch every time you need to. I added 115,658 views to this thing....

[@shorttravelvideos9649]

Hahaha!

[@Erv_K]

CTHMusic93 nice

[@noneban]

i just saved this to a playlist hahha

[@letsgetcreative3979]

lmao

[@MrPhilbautista]

So I'm guessing about 20 people have seen this video by now

[@lightbox617]

Got a Neewar steadicam for less than $120. It looks like a molecule by molecule knock off of a Glidecam. I'm working on the relatively steep learning curve of never having done video before (I have a couple of Canon 70d's). I "get" this video and it's very helpfull but wonder why all of these guys who do them have like 18 inch bicepts

[@santoshkiran1448]

Because of carrying the steady cam for a long time. Either that happens or you build up your muscles beforehand.

[@realflow100]

I got one for 50$ on amazon :D

[@OneGuitarist]

Excellent video! I just got a Sutefoto glidecam for my Fuji XT2 for b-roll, music videos and other things, and from all the videos I've seen, yours is by far the most helpful and best-made. It took me maybe five minutes to get mine set up perfect after watching this. I actually just forwarded this video to a few friends as well. Great video, man! Rock on! \m/

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Thanks so much man!

[@C4NT1]

Waaaay better than the tutorial DVD that came with my stabilizer. Thank you!

[@pamjoseph2325]

C4NT1 I hear an echo! Lol. I said the EXACT same thing! 😁

[@songainlover]

This helped a lot! We were filming yesterday and actually did not know how to balance a glidecam so we probably spent one good hour on setting it up.

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Awesome! I am glad it helped :)

[@lifaronaldonxobo4286]

I just got mine yesterday . I tried the whole day. But I went to this video it took me 5min. This guy is so magical

[@shootingstarsmedia1021]

Awesome video! Thank you for doing a general overview of all steadicams. Very educational and got mine stabilized in no time!

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Glad to hear it! :)

[@jorgem50]

Josh, just bought a Merlin Steadicam. Man I love it! I used to fly with my own diy steadicam back in the day and for a few years now I've been using electronic gimbals. Steadicams are just so good. I paid $55 shipped from Adorama lol.

[@burhanuddinzohair3081]

Thankyou so much for this. You explained it so well. Other videos on KZbin couldn't do it as good as you.

[@minhdangoz94]

The best video guide to balance a Glidecam I have ever seen, thanks so much

[@joannacooper6880]

Best tutorial I've seen so far! Thanks for the help!

[@IvanUrusov]

So helpful videos, so great content quality, so underrated channel! Because of your video I realised that my steadicam weight wasn`t balanced properly and discovered for myself new ways of using it

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Thank you so much Ivan!

[@DyleJoo]

I followed your instruction and I was able to balance my glidecam. Thanks a lot!.

[@ostrowele]

Amazing video, thank you! Clear and easy instructions, well explained.

[@jeremyfoster4232]

Love this video. I'm covering a stair climb race for a man who's 73 and will likely be moving at a fast walk. wondering if anyone recommends a stategy in using the laing stabilizer for this? Would be cool to see someone using it in challenging situations

[@Panther-]

Thanks buddy, ur tutorial was spot on, watched a previous tutorial before hand, which wasn't bad but he was saying add all the weight all the time as he has been using these for about 2 years so he said its advisable to,smhI did, but my stabiliser was never stable,until I watched ur video re adjusted the weights and got the eureka moment, thanks a lot mate.

[@pal2tech]

Awesome video. The best I’ve seen yet on the glidecam. Well done, sir.

[@siddharthbajpai1]

Thanks man, that helped 👍this is probably the best video out here on balancing stablizers.

[@GUAYABAFELIZ]

Thank you for the great instructions! Quick question, I have a 24-70 mm, and a Glidecam HD Pro. Would you recommend balancing the Glidecam with the lens at a mid point for the focal length? Or, every time I change the focal length, do I need to re-balance it? Thank you!

[@JosephJMcAllister]

Awesome! I was trying to use it with all the weights on it, and getting the sea sickness effect. Good thing I check out your video.

[@WilliamNevius]

Great man I'm happy I watched this. You make it looks so easy bout to order mines now can't wait to master it

[@kevink2207]

Thank you for this great video! I was able to balance my Koolertorn Stabilizer with some trial and error like you said. But it was tremendously helpful in getting it quicker than guessing and spending more time than it would have. Now to practice with it. Thanks again.

[@MomentumProductions1992]

I'm glad you got it balanced! Watch my Glidecam playlist for a ton of tutorials :)

[@fotogenik5976]

Excellent tutorial, thanks a mill.

[@brittanyjaynehowarth5459]

thanks man! super helpful!

[@Thewritersforum]

Definitely the most informative video I’ve come across. Do you have a video about adding accessories to the glidecam such as, monitor and mic? As always I greatly appreciate your videos. Thank you.

[@123brinkman]

Hi, I bought a cheap Eimo steadicam from amazon for 70 pounds. I wiggles around a lot. The drop time is fine. How can I reduce that wiggle? I tried adding more and less weight to the camera but nothing worked (Panasonic g7). Can it be the lower quality?

[@OlufemiFilms]

Dude this helped out so much thank you!

[@izzasferdiansyah4037]

Clear explanation. Perfect! Like it!

I have a question. if you're taking a video what mode dial do you use, and using the blury thing in the lens. do you use manual or auto? answer pls asap. thank you!

[@edmundarmah5408]

Thanks for this lesson

[@moniqueclark5423]

Hi, I balanced my camera & stabilizer pretty well but it still spins to the left. What adjustment would I make for that?

[@Donnierajproductions]

Best tutorial so far

[@MomentumProductions1992]

thank you so much!

[@akagamisang6289]

Great video, very easy and never boring to watch. Good job bro.

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Thank you so much!

[@letsgetcreative3979]

Tysm ! I been trying to learn how to perfect this

[@zotzmang8717]

thank you for the video!

[@BraydenGlascockMedia]

i tried to balance my steadycam for the first time today and its so frustrating. its the flycam 5000 and there is no one thumbdial to make micro adjustments. i]you have to unscrew for knobs that hold it by friction and adjust it with your hand. i wish i got the HD5000. anyways i cant stop it from spinning and turning to the side when i do side to side movements, any tips?

[@PaulDishkant]

Great informative video man! One question, what's the quick release plate your using called?

[@ErikThureson]

Good stuff!
