I’m guessing it would have taken him a little longer if the camera wasn’t balanced properly.

I miss one important step – the check for dynamic balance, by rotaing the Glidecam with the camera and see if it remains stable that way… other than that, good tutorial.

Also, it’s good to show people how to determine the center-of-gravity point of the camera. I use a 15-inch rod for that or the side of the table (have to be careful though).
