Before you operate and lm with your Glidecam Devin

Graham Signature Series, you will need to know how

to handle the equipment. When handling your Devin

Graham Signature Series you will use one hand to hold

onto the handle and the other hand to gently guide the

camera in the direction you wish to shoot. We call the

hand that holds the handle, the “HOLDING HAND” and

the hand that aims the camera for tilting and panning, the

“GUIDING HAND”.

When holding the handle of your Glidecam Devin Graham

Signature Series you will need to: 1) hold it rmly, and 2)

hold it either in the middle or the bottom of the handle.

Which position you choose will depend on the kind of shot

you are shooting. For normal shooting, hold the handle

near the middle. (See Figure 47) For shots that require

aiming the camera either up or down or sideways, hold

the handle rmly at the bottom. This will allow the “YOKE”

part of the GIMBAL to twist around without hitting your

hands or your knuckles.

When you handle your Glidecam Devin Graham

Signature Series you will want to use your “GUIDING

HAND” to gently hold onto either the point just below the

“YOKE” and bearing assembly, (See Figure 48) or area

down by the BASE PLATFORM (See Figure 49). These

two areas allow for easy control of the Devin Graham

Signature Series when in use. Which position you

choose will depend on the kind of shot you are shooting.

For normal shooting hold the Glidecam Devin Graham

Signature Series at the point just below the “YOKE” and

bearing assembly. (See Figure 48) This will allow you to

subtly aim the camera without disturbing the camera’s

upright position. It is this position that will allow you the

smoothest shots when walking or running with the Devin

Graham Signature Series during normal shooting.

NOTE: Make sure that your “GUIDING HAND” and “HOLDING

HAND” do not touch either the bearing assembly or the

“YOKE” during shooting. For unconventional shots, like

ones that require aiming the camera either straight up or

down, or sideways, hold onto the Devin Graham Signature

Series on the lower part of the post, or down near the

weight. (See Figure 49) This will allow your “GUIDING

HAND” to have a greater degree of control over the Devin

Graham Signature Series while shooting erratic shots.
