don’t hit the bottom or top of the suspension 
arms travel during your test footage. 
 

5) Try to use soft hands when filming.  

 

6) Shoot a short 10 - 20 second moving shot to test 

out the smoothing. At 0% damping you will likely 
get some uncontrolled bouncing when speeding 
up or slowing down. 

 

7) Adjust the damping to about 10% damping and try 

again. Keep testing and increasing the damping 
each time. Eventually you will find that the 
damping becomes too strong and small hand 
movements will be transferred to the footage. 

 

8) Back off the damping slightly and look very closely 

at the footage to see if the micro movements from 
your hand movements are still visible.  
 

9) When there’s no hand movements keep a note of the percentage damping and the type 

of filming movement (i.e walkin, jogging etc) for future 
reference.  
 

10) Re-test at different intensities to get the best settings for 

your own filming movements. As you master the Glider 
you’ll also find these settings will change too.
