Anyway, Lionel is a good man. He went down to rent some shooting equipment and didn't even as a cent from me nor plan with me. I was surprised with his gear last morning.
Lionel's triport and the rented gear, rail.
Lionel and his triport and rail.
Lionel and glide cam
We tried using the glide cam. Lionel spent lots of time trying to balance the glide cam properly but it just does seems right. I feel that the glide cam is not very useful. Maybe is because we didn't managed to use it correctly. I find the glide cam do help to remove the camera shake and blur but because it sways around and we find it difficult to have a very stabilized long take. Its like just changing the shaking problem to swaying problem.
I find the rail useful, however, it is not smooth. The rail that was rented is by slides, I believe a smooth rail will be those with wheels. However this is good enough for our video, we do not need to over kill.
Still thanks Lionel for the equipments! Without it I couldn't have experience all these heavy weighted video gears. =)
