The MachoGlide!

Reference PAT# (2235473-A) U.S. PATENT

Steadycam / Steadicam Like Fig Rig and GlideCam

Yes it Can Stand!

Hello. Thank you for visiting. What you see is a NEW ingenious design of my own Steadycam like FIG RIG built in one.  This item is ready to use and will be shipped assembled.

  • The MachoGlide is a Professional Camera Stabilization System of my own design. You can walk, run, go up and down stairs, shoot from moving vehicles and travel over uneven terrain with out any camera instability or shake. The MachoGlide is designed primarily for use with lightweight video camcorders and 8mm motion picture cameras.

  • The MachoGlide is perfect for shooting the type of super smooth tracking shots that take your audience's and client's to a Hollywood Level. It instantly adds high production value to your scenes. With this stabilizer you will be able to produce ultra smooth shots that were only achievable with very heavy cameras. When it comes to stabilizing cameras that are very lightweight, it quickly becomes apparent that MOST of the stabilizers on the market today can tire your arms, shoulders, hands, and wrists. 

  • Like the Manfrotto Fig Rig, the MachoGlide has two strong arms along the sides to grip both hands as if driving a car.

  • This allows you to shoot for long periods of time with very little fatigue.

This design is similar to other popular SteadiCams.

 

This rig is designed for any Film or DV camera up to 10LBS.

It is Ideal for Consumer Palmcorders, Semi Pro and Pro Cameras like shown above.

Examples: HC1, HC3, TRV900, GL1, GL2, VX2000, XL1, PD170, XL2, and the latest HDV cameras. 

Have a smaller camera? Check out the Machoglide Jr. See below.
(for cameras up to 5LBS) and other Film/Cinema related items.

The Benefits to the MachoGlide

1. This rig is more lightweight, strong & heavy duty, sealed solid.

2. There will be less strain and fatigue on your arms, shoulder, and wrist, STEERING the MachoGlide.

3.   You will have more control with this rig and will be able to shoot for hours.

4.   Camera does not rotate or pivot, you steer it, like the Fig Rig.

5.   The package will come complete when you open the box.  Little to No assembly is required.

6.   You can still use the rig as a traditional steadycam, their are a variety of positions you can place your hands.

7.   Need to rest or put the rig down between shooting?  Now you can with its own standing base.  (works on flat surfaces only & cameras that have a central balance)

(most cameras will benefit from the base depending on its central weight)

Are you an Indie Filmmaker or Videographer on a tight budget?  Don't want to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on other rigs? Then the MachoGlide is for you!  Take this little Steadicam, grab his arms with FULL FORCE and shoot your next picture! 


Check out the Feedback I have been getting from other Indie Filmmakers.

"Dude! The stabilizer is FANTASTIC! Brilliantly put together! A work of art! If I can be of any assistance in promoting this item, you just let me know!

It took just five minutes to set it up, and I was running all over my yard with it! Tracking and panning with this is a dream!

You've got a winner here Bro!

BTW... Thanks for the excersize! I've been spending too much time sitting in my director's chair lately!

Thanks SO Much!

"Out of the 200+ dollars I've spent on rigs, the Macho is BY FAR the most convenient and best working piece! No messy weights and axis balancing- which takes A LOT of stress off of an independent production!"

"Dear Sir/Madam,

    I recently purchased one of your MachoGlide Steadicam systems for use on our production “DEADLANDS”. I wanted to praise you and your organization in a few ways.

 1.      After viewing your eBay auction and having some questions I was very please at the quick response I received back. Not too mention how smooth the transaction was in general.

2.      The S&H time was outstanding. We received the item on a Friday afternoon which was absolutely perfect as we were having a production meeting that following day.

The Camera Operators loved the design and pretty much everyone agreed this was “THE BEST” poor mans Steadicam unit they have used.

Low budget filmmaker’s need look no further this is the only unit you will ever need and it won’t hurt your wallet.

 After everyone had a chance to walk around with the unit we recorded some test footage and it came out beautiful. We are looking forward to putting this into full use when production restarts in March 2006.

We at WETNWILDRADIO Films and the cast & crew of DEADLANDS would like to thank you very much for all the care and attention you gave in the design of this product and all the help you have given us in answering questions about this product.

Thanks again and we wish you the best of success in sales on your MachoGlide system.

Sincerely

Gary Ugarek (Director/Writer)

And the Cast and Crew of DEADLANDS!"
