#4 PROFESSIONAL USAGE
If you are using the Glidecam Stunt Bar to shoot professional looking shots, and you plan on
incorporating them into a short movie or some sort of commercial project, we suggest that you
plan the shot out in advance, perhaps rehearse the move a few times before shooting, and
that you use an assistant to help you during complex shots. This will give you optimum results
and will make your movies look more professional.
Good luck with your shooting.

#5 MAINTENANCE
Stunt Bar Maintenance - It is important to keep the Glidecam Stunt Bar clean of any dirt,
sand or other invasive material. Not doing so can cause permanent damage to your Glidecam
Stunt Bar. You can use a bottle of canned air to spray the Glidecam Stunt Bar and remove any
invasive material from the surface of the Glidecam Stunt Bar.
#6 WARNINGS
You should make sure that you are very careful when using the Glidecam Stunt Bar at night or
in low light conditions. Do not make the mistake of focusing so much on what you are shooting
that you trip or fall over something, or wander into something dangerous, like a swimming pool
or automobile trafc, and be extra careful when shooting on stairs etc. These cautions pertain
to daytime shooting as well.
Storage - If you are going to store your Glidecam Stunt Bar for a long period of time then
please store the unit upright in a dry or low to normal humidity area whenever possible. If you
are unable to nd an environment like this, then we suggest you store the unit in an air tight
plastic container or bag. Standing the unit upright helps to alleviate stress on the system.
Cleaning - Do not use solvents or harsh cleaners of any kind on your Glidecam Stunt Bar. If
the unit becomes dirty, use only a cloth or sponge with water to gently rub the unit clean
