#7 Operating your Glidecam HD-2000
The Glidecam HD-2000 is designed to
work correctly only when operated with
two hands (see Photos 46 and 48). If you
try to operate the unit with just your
“Holding Hand,” the Camera will most
likely drift away from its original position.
Without your “Guiding Hand” in place, you
will be unable to control the direction of the
Camera.
When operating the Glidecam HD-2000
you will not be able to put your eye right up
to the eyecup on the viewfinder, for doing
so will cause the unit to be restricted in its
ability to stabilize and eliminate Camera
shake. Even though you cannot place your
eye directly up to the Camera viewfinder,
you can either use the Camera’s built-in
LCD Monitor (as shown in Photo 54), or
attach an external LCD Monitor (not
included)
directly
to
the
BASE
PLATFORM of the HD-2000. A ¼”
Monitor “Mounting Hole” is located at both
the front and back edges of the BASE
PLATFORM (see Photo #47.
You can also attach an external LCD
Monitor to the accessory shoe on top of
your Camcorder. We believe that better
results are obtained when you attach the
Monitor to the HD-2000’s base, see photo #
47 because this way you generally have to
look slightly down to see the Monitor. In
doing so, your feet are more visible to your
peripheral vision. This makes negotiating
obstacles with the HD-2000 safer.
