I have recently purchased a Glidecam and was impressed with the comparative ease (over the Varizoom Flowpod) with which I could balance this, even with a quick-release plate mounted. No clamping was necessary and I can balance a remounted camera in a few minutes. Some, who are more experienced with Glidecams, say they can balance in half a minute.

It took me about half an hour to balance it the first time, but I'm using a quick-release plate (I'll try to post that item tomorrow, under Accessories) so subsequent balancing doesn't take nearly as long, and I like that I don't have to clamp to anything when balancing.

The very first time I tried this out, I got smoooth, floating shots.  Can't wait to update my demo video!
