I have a Sony a6000 with the 16-50mm kit lens.  I'm thinking of getting the Glidecam HD1000.  The Glidecam HD1000 is rated for cameras between 1.5 and 3.0 pounds.

The Sony a6000 is 1 pound with the lens on it.  The quick release plate will add a little weight to the top. 

 

Has anyone tried using the a6000 with the kit lens and the Glidecam HD1000?

 

I have a Rokinon 14mm for canon e-mount and adapters.  Can the Sony a6000 lens mount handle a heavier lens?

 

Also am considering a Beholder unit. Has anyone tried using a Beholder with the Sony a6000?

 

Thanks !

Thanks for the reply.  I picked up a Glidecam HD1000 but am finding the overall light weight makes it harder to get a smooth image.  I also have a Glidecam HD4000 that I use with a Canon 6D and Rokinon 14mm and get  much better results with the heavier unit.  I may send back the Glidcam and go with an electronic stabilizer such as a Ronin or Beholder....
