I do not know the diameter of the handle for this stabilizer, so I cannot answer your question. I can tell you the post on the arm for this unit is 5/8", so if the diameter of the handle on your stabilizer is slightly larger than that it should fit................Video Gear DIrect

Perry, Great question! I'm not sure, since my GoPro is a hero3. Looking at the pictures of the new model, it appears that the new version uses the same waterproof housing. If so, then it will work. If you do get a definitive answer, let me know. I plan to get an additional hero sometime soon (two's better than one, right?).

I would assume not. I had one a tried to use it with my glidecam. The post was too narrow, and my glidecam ended up tilting downward. Also, the arm isn't very strong, which leads to very jerky motion with any camera setup that weighs over 4lbs. Hope this helps....

Thanks for your question! According to the product details the mount is for "GoPro HERO, Contour, Sony Action CAM, Drift HD & other Action Sport Camera/ Camcorders". It sounds like it will be compatible with most Action Cameras. If you are uncertain and would like to know about return options there is return policy information for both of the sellers that are currently selling this item at these links:

Hello Aaron. I wish I have the Glidecam to compare both units. I can tell you the Opteka works and do good videos. If you read the reviews on other brands, you'll see lot of complains on setup and quality. Well, that is not a problem with this unit. Setup is really easy and the quality is pretty decent. My "concern" is that it's heavy and after some time, you will feel the weight. I wish Opteka could replace some parts and use aluminum to make it a "perfect" unit (price v/s quality). Now, keep on mind this is for fun... I tried on some parties and all my friends got in love with the unit. BUT if you want to make some money and do it professional, then you'll need to pay more. I hope this helps.... Hello Aaron. I wish I have the Glidecam to compare both units. I can tell you the Opteka works and do good videos.

I just googled you camcorder because I was not familiar with it. Looks like you have a standard tripod fitting female end adaption slot. If that is the case, then you should be fine with this tripod.Note it is not professional quality but it is very good for the occasional and novas use. Easy to use and adjust. VERY light weight if using at sporting or travel events.

We use it with sony handycam. The movement is pretty smooth. Sometime the video shakes a little when the movement is stopped suddenly. It probably not work good with a heavier camcorder. I have been very happy with it.

While setting up my glidecam, I had a ton of trouble. I looked on youtube and found this video that goes step by step in how to set up the rig. It's like a 2 or 3 part video, but it's very informative! Give it a look through, and I'm sure you'll find the answer you're looking for. Your specific question might be in the second video, after the stabilizer is already put together, but I'm attaching the link to the first video just incase. Hope this helps! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-8pypsXPZ0

Honestly I don't know that for a fact, but I did an image search on the camera you mentioned and seeing as the mounting holes are circularIm going to say no it probably wont work. The strap for the Opteka hand grip are flat and ribbon like. They probably wouldn't fit properly ina way that would make it comfortable for you hand. Again I don't know this for a fact just looking at the pics. I have an older Canon 20D so if you look at those strap mounts you'll see what Im saying. I hope this helps.

The GoPro Hero 3 Black edition is too light to use on these types of mounts. There are stabilizers like this one but meant for GoPro.

This would not be the stabilizer I would suggest for your camera.............................Video Gear Direct

I would like to help you but your camera not being listed,if I were you,I would not take the chance to buy it ! I think you should contact Opteka directly.They would tell you for sure ! Best regards. Arnaud.

Yes. I have mounted my GoPro Hero3+ Black upside down using this frame and it was very secure. It has a ridge around the inside edge of the plastic frame so even when the camera and frame aren't on a mount the camera won't fall out unless you pry open the frame where it splits at the mounting point. Once you tighten it down on a mounting point, it isn't going anywhere.

It uses the standard 1/4-20 screw found on 99.99% of tripod mounts, if your camcorder can mount on a regular tripod, it should be able to use this.

Absolutely. There are several on YouTube showing this stabilizer with various camera systems.

The Opteka system has both the vest and belt holster. I only used the belt holster on my trip to Israel. The only drawback for me was the mounting to the tripod is not possible without removing/installing plates.

Charles, I would suggest you investigate this starting with Sony's website. It's kind of a tricky question and I don't want to give you bad advice. A couple of other Amazon customers have asked me about compatibility. Unfortunately, neither the box the unit came in nor the instructions offer any insight into use with specific Sony products. The box simply suggests verifying compatibility before purchasing. I believe you can make this "work" with any camera, but you won't be able to use some features and capabilities. That's the situation I'm in using this with my camcorder. I suspect this was designed for use with Sony's digital cameras and some camcorders. The drawback would be that one pays for capabilities that you may not be able to use. However, I have been very happy with this light and found it to be a very good replacement for the Sony halogen light that died. As this has a shoe mount that my camcorder lacks, I had to find another way to mount it. I used a Stroboframe bracket that I already had. There may be other options. Hope this helps and good luck.
