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!
-HAWKEYE"
"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.
