Used Glidecam Industries
Glidecam Industries, the manufacturer of camera stabilization systems and accessories, for use by both film and video makers, was founded by Martin Stevens in 1992. The actual origin of the first Glidecam device dates back to the Spring of 1991.
Martin designed it when he was producing and directing his first feature length motion picture. Martin had become displeased with the current state of the art of camera stabilization systems and particularly the very high prices of these systems.
He reasoned that if he could build a more affordable and capable camera stabilizer for his own production needs, using what he now refers to as “a common sense approach”, then perhaps others would find need of the same. And so the “Glidecam” was born in 1991.
It was in 1993 that Martin Stevens, seeking a professional business partner, sought to join forces with his brother David Stevens. David’s many years of experience and success working in both the financial and sales world made him the ideal partner. It was David’s business model and its practical application that lead Glidecam Industries to become so successful that it became incorporated in 1997, with Martin as President and David as Vice President, and now with David as CEO.
Glidecam Industries, Inc. now has over 20 products and hundreds of dealers worldwide. Glidecam separates itself from its competition by offering a product line that is both technologically advanced and yet priced very affordably. Glidecam’s customer service policy of thoroughly helping its customers both before and after a sale has won them a very happy customer and customer referral base.
Glidecam Industries, Inc. has billed itself as “The Name and Future of Camera Stabilization”, and it is in this light that they introduced the worlds first body mounted, camera stabilization system for cameras weighing up to 10 pounds.
This was the Glidecam V-8 introduced in 1997, with its exclusive and unique “Orbit Hinge” technology and compact “Dyna-Elastic Arm” design. It is also in this light that Glidecam introduced its “Gold Series” in 1999. The Glidecam Gold Series offers the very high end customer a top of the line body mounted stabilizer for cameras weighing from 13 to 38 pounds. The Gold Series again combines Glidecam’s high technology with common sense ideology approach, creating a product that is sophisticated, highly aesthetic and far more affordable than the competition’s high end equipment.
Glidecam has become the world leader in its field because it combines the best practices with the best thinking, and in the end it is this combination that the customer wants. Glidecam Industries Inc. offers a wide variety of camera stabilizers (camera stabilization systems) for use with motion picture cameras, video cameras, and video camcorders.
These hand-held and body-mounted camera stabilizers create super smooth shots, and allow the operator to walk, run, go up and down stairs, shoot from moving vehicles, and travel over uneven terrain without any camera instability or shake.
Glidecam camera stabilization products make ideal camera accessories and can easily replace or be used in conjunction with dollies and tracks, booms, camera cranes, and tripods, or monopods. Both professional filmmakers and amateur movie makers alike can enjoy the fluidity and grace that Glidecam camera stabilizers provide.

Fade: A gradual increase in video, i.e. a fade-in, or a gradual decrease in video, i.e. a fadeout.
Fast File: A video segment with entry and exit points but that is not interrupted by edited-in video clips.
Fiber Optic Cable: Glass, plastic, or hybrid fiber cable that transmits digital signals as light pulses.
First Person: A video told from the primary subject`s perspective. Firstperson videos most often include the word.
Front Screen Projection: This option allows an image to be projected onto a screen or sail from the front of the room. The unit itself is placed within or behind the audience.
F/Stop: A rating often applied to scrims used in the film and video industries on their ability to dim light. This rating is directly related to a camera`s ability to allow for the admittance of light.
Gray Scale: The ability for a video display to reproduce a neutral image color with a given input at various levels of intensity.
Hanging Dots: An artifact of composite video signals that appears as a stationary, zipper-like, horizontal border between colors.
High-Definition(HD, High-Def): An image that has a higher resolution and is clearer than other formats. It is widely accepted that 720p is the "bottom-end" on HD.
HDCP: High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection. Created by Intel, HDCP is used with HDTV signals over DVI and HDMI connections and on D-Theater D-VHS recordings to prevent unauthorized duplication of copyright material.
HDR: Hard-Drive Recorder. Device that uses a computer hard drive to store compressed digital audio and video signals.
HDMI: HDTV connection format using a DVI interface that transfers uncompressed digital video with HDCP copy protection and multichannel audio.
HDTV: High-Definition Television. The high-resolution subset of our DTV system. The FCC has no official definition for HDTV. The ATSC defines HDTV as a 16:9 image with twice the horizontal and vertical resolution of our existing system, accompanied by 5.1 channels of Dolby Digital audio. The CEA defines HDTV as an image with 720 progressive or 1080 interlaced active (top to bottom) scan lines. 1280:720p and 1920:1080i are typically accepted as high-definition scan rates.
High Gain Screen: Material that reflects more light than a reference material Increases a projector`s light output at the expense of uniformity.
IEEE 1394: Networking standard for PCs. Combined with 5C copy protection, is used as a two-way connection to transfer the MPEG-compressed digital bitstreams between consumer electronics items, including HDTV tuners and displays, D-VHS recorders, DVD players, and DBS receivers. Also called FireWire, iLink.
In Sync: When the picture and sound are synchronized perfectly.
Incue/Inq/In-Point: These words all refer to the initial few seconds of audio signifying the beginning of the production.
Interlace: Process of alternating scan lines to create a complete image. In CRT displays, every second field/frame is scanned between the first field/frame. The first field represents the odd lines the second field represents the even lines. The fields are aligned and timed so that, with a still image, the human eye blurs the two fields together and sees them as one. Interlace scanning allows only half the lines to be transmitted and presented at any given moment. A 1080i HD signal transmits and displays only 540 lines per 60th of a second. 480i NTSC transmits and displays only 240 lines per 60th of a second. Motion in the image can make the fields noticeable. Interlaced images have motion artifacts when two fields don`t match to create the complete frame, often most noticeable in film-based material.
Keystone: A form of video image distortion in which the top of the picture is wider than the bottom, or the left is taller than the right, or vice versa. The image is shaped like a trapezoid rather than a rectangle.
Laser Disc: Now-defunct 12-inch disc format with excellent analog, FMrecorded video image, and either analog or CD-quality PCM-encoded audio. Later discs used one of the analog channels to record an RF-modulated Dolby Digital/AC3 soundtrack and/or used the PCM tracks to encoded a DTS soundtrack.
LCD: Liquid Crystal Display. A display that consists of two polarizing transparent panels and a liquid crystal surface sandwiched in between. Voltage is applied to certain areas, causing the crystal to turn dark. A light source behind the panel transmits through transparent crystals and is mostly blocked by dark crystals.
LCOS: Liquid Crystal on Silicon.
Letterbox: Format used widely on laser disc and many DVDs to fit wideaspect-ratio movies (1.85:1 and 2.35:1, for example) into a smaller frame, such as the 1.78:1 area of an anamorphic DVD or the 1.33:1 area of a laser disc or video tape. The image is shrunk to fit the screen, leaving blank space on the top and bottom. This process sacrifices some vertical detail that must be used to record the black bars.
Live Shot:Video broadcasted in real-time.
Live Special Report (LSR): A news story broadcast in real-time covering breaking news or a special event.
Luminance: The black and white (Y) portion of a composite, Y/C, or Y/Pb/Pr video signal. The luminance channel carries the detail of a video signal. The color channel is laid on top of the luminance signal when creating a picture. Having a separate luminance channel ensures compatibility with black-andwhite televisions.
Man on the Street (MOS): Clips of randomly selected people speaking.The name originates from the practice of news crews interviewing people on street sidewalks.
Matte White:Projection vinyl with a smooth white surface.
