    I have one, and it's a joy to use. I'll be using it in my next commission (classical music video).

    Mr Brown has done a great job in engineering the Glidetrack. An invaluable addition to any serious videographer's arsenal IMHO.

    Works for me. Try it out again.

    I'm pretty sure I've seen a DIY version of this kind of thing somewhere as well, for those with more time than money.

    Sorry, one of my increasingly senior moment. I meant 'Mr Brown', not Hunter, has done an excellent job.

    Apologies to you both.

    Can I have my pills back now, nurse?

    Thats relative, how much extra business do you think having "Damn nice footage" will get you? One job would pay for it.

    I have found a cheaper courier for abroad. This means I can now offer the Full setup for £225 delivered to the USA or Canada.

    It looks impressive. How many days is the average delivery time to the USA?

    I posted one on Monday at 10am and it arrived on Weds at 11am.

    So 3 days. I always try and keep a couple ready for posting.

    Very nice footage. It would be great a video showing someone using it. How much weight can it handle? how about shipping to Spain? could you PM me?

    Thanks and regards

    I'd just like to add that I purchased the Glidetrack(TM) to do weddings and the product is absolutely superb and have helped my footage to step up a notch or three. Alastair is very professional and a pleasure to work with, extremely helpful and very responsive.

    I can't recommend this product and Alistair highly enough.

    Would it work with HV20+Letus Extreme+lenses+matte box?
    Can't find maximum weight.

    Thanks

    It can take a LOT of weight. For some reason my younger son - 13 kg - likes to pretend it's a ladder. It takes his weight no problem!

    I've lent mine out to a pro cameraman, and he is absolutely bowled over by it.

    So £199 is money very well spent. You'll not find a better solution to gliding shots that can be set up in matter of moments.

    Thanks for the info and regards

    Alistair, I just ordered one to the U.S. Your product looks great. I'll be using it with my hv20 soon and then the Red Scarlet in April. I'll post my experience with your Glidetrack after receiving it.-Sam
