Lately I've been testing out different stabilizers for my URSA Mini cameras. I have tried a full size steadicam which worked great, but wasn't an option when traveling on film shoots in far away places because of it's size and weight.
I also tested out a few 3 Axis Gimbals. One in particular that I liked was the CAME-TV Prodigy which I reviewed a few days ago. Still I was looking for something else that packs even smaller and will work no matter what. As you know digital camera gimbals can fail, or require calibration or batteries.
That's why I still like to take with me a traditional steadicam type camera stabilizer. One that I tested out which I loved was the Glidecam Devin Graham Signature Series. Devin Graham is a popular YouTuber who always uses the glidecam.
He and the designers came up with a new version that addressed all the things I didn't like about the previous versions of their stabilizers. Anyway watch the video review for all my thoughts and some test shots.

Also if you are interested in learning how to use a traditional stabilizer like the Glidecam then look at my Ultimate Steadicam post that I did a few years ago.

For extra support when carrying a heavy camera on your Glidecam you can use an arm brace like the one I show in this video: https://youtu.be/634kS3-TsJM
