Don’t know, I can only say that I tried and the head broke off... could put it back in and now use it with a BMCC 4K.... am keeping the Ursa on heavier outfits...
Perhaps my Glidecam is faulty but think you might be better off with another model that is better equipped for heavier cameras
I have used Devin Graham's model glidecam with my UMP. The weight limit for the glidecam is 10lbs. I was able to weigh in around 9.7 lbs with the camera, rokinon 16mm, BMD top handle, and AB cine battery (the big cube style).
Worked well enough. It was pretty easy to balance and, once I got the hang of it, quick to set up.

Thanks Chris - I just purchased a Glidecam HD-4000 with the 10lb weight limit. Haven't tried the camera on it yet (UMP) - but after playing around with a 6lb DSLR set up I thought it would just be too heavy to manage. Good to know you've made it work - now I have to see if I can get the camera down below the 10lbs and try it out! I'll need a month or two of weight lifting first though...
