Q. I'm using a canon xl1s with a 7 inch lcd monitor on top of it and i'm trying to decide what the best affordable (under $400) would be to stabilize my camera.
A. Are you sure it's Glidecam '5000' and not '4000' ? Or is it the Flycam 5000?
The Halo works best when you use the camcorder's own LDC monitor. It places you more centered (behind the wheel so to speak) behind the camera. If you attach your external LCD monitor, it will most likely be mounted on the outside the ring and hard to compose and monitor your subject.
The Flycam (or Glidecam) can become heavy when you add external devices on it and/or the camera and hard to manage after prolong use. Ideally, a harness mounted Glidecam would be best but those cost a lot more.
If you could try each one out first, that would be great. But I know that's not always possible.

What camcorder should I get for movies and commercials?
Q. Im looking for a camcorder that is professional, HD, SD card, and something that has longevity. I dont want to make an investment and something better comes out. Ive heard of the RED cameras but I cant afford that. Ive looked at some DSLR's. What do you recommend for movies and commercials?
A. Take a look at the Canon XF100. As far as I have seen, it is the only Pro-camcorder at it's price to get a 50 mbps data rate. Everything else under about $5000 is getting half of that, making them little better than a good consumer twinkie-cam.
At $3300, the XF is not much more expensive than a 5DM2 with a good lens.
