New handheld camera stabilizer combines popular components of Glidecam HD Series with high-end professional features typically found on more elaborate body-mounted systems.

Glidecam Industries is now shipping the Glidecam HD-Pro, a handheld camera stabilizer designed for video, DSLR and mirrorless cameras weighing up to 10 pounds (4.53 kilograms).

Weighing 2.1 pounds and made entirely in the United States, the new stabilizer features a “drop-in style” precision dove-tail camera mounting plate, which features laser-engraved 0.10” adjustment markers and rubber friction grips; knurled fore/aft and side/side balance-adjustment control knobs; an industry-strength spring-loaded camera lock knob; a redesigned precision CNC-machined base assembly; stainless-steel internal hardware, and precision CNC-machined telescoping clamps.

The Glidecam HD-Pro lists for $499. For more information, visit the company’s website.
