You might find that this wide setting is not adequate enough to give you the look produced by professional Hollywood dollies, cranes and stabilizers.

Light lubricating oil can also be used if needed on the Yoke and Handle Bearings. Be sure to keep the oil away from your Camera, and clean up any over spill when done. Cleaning: Do not use solvents or harsh cleaners of any kind on your Glidecam Pro. If the unit becomes dirty, use only a cloth or sponge with water and a very mild detergent to gently rub the unit clean.
Storage: If you are going to store your Glidecam Pro for a long period of time then please store the unit upright in a dry or low to normal humidity area whenever possible.
If you are unable to find an environment like this, then we suggest you store the unit in an air tight plastic container or bag. Standing the unit upright helps to alleviate stress on the system. Do not make the mistake of focusing so much on what you are shooting that you trip or fall over something, or wander into something dangerous like a swimming pool or automobile traffic, and be extra careful when shooting on stairs or uneven terrain etc.
