I've played around with some stabilizers and gimbals lately to see which one to buy and I think I am going to pick between these two. However, is the Devin Graham one worth paying the extra $300 around for it? It has all these extra features which look good, but I read a couple of reviews that talk about the camera slipping on the new type of release plate holder it has.

But maybe that's not a problem usually and all the extra features are well worth it to save time on shoots possibly? Does anyone know?

The decision on glidecam is not final yet, but I am liking the results people are giving so far. However, out of all the videos I've seen of people, they are using wide lenses all the time like 11-16 mm, and I want long lens shots, cause they can cover more movement, so if I were to put say an 85mm or longer, could the glidecam handle that with the footage still being smooth, as long as I practice with it lots, do you think? It's hard to say cause I cannot find any glidecam footage, with long lenses.

Of course, only the camera is enough for this but I want to take it one step further and improve the quality of the videos. We shoot live memories and why shouldn't they be high quality? By the way, if you're interested in the Flycam, go on https://gimbalgarage.com/best-glidecam-for-dslr/
