I recently bought a Glidecam Xtrme from Promax. It was pretty easy to set up and worked farely well off the bat. I don't reccommend the tiny JVC monitor they offer with it. I guess you get what you pay for. Oh yeah.....I'm using an XL1 with the XLR adapter, with a boom pole in tow. It seems more stable with the included extension. bob(posted 9193 days ago)
