I have a Glidecam 2000 and it works great for the GL2. No weight problems at all. I agree about the connection type and all but there are remedies. You can get a quick release mount and attach it to the Glidecam plate to swith from GC to tripod. Or you can do what I do which works well; for weddings, I use a camera on a tripod and the other on the Glidecam for the entire ceremony (took some strength training on my part though). I use that for creative, motion shots and when I need a stable shot, I have a tripod set at a low level and rest the Glidecam on top of it. Works like a charm and I get some really cool shots that you just cant get with tripods only.
