I just got the Glidecam L4 Monitor in which has a BNC output. It came with the BNC cable but I am trying to connect it to a Sony Z7U HD Camcorder which has a HDMI out and a Component out. I can't find a BNC out anywhere. Is there a coupler or some kind of connector I can use to connect the Glidecam L4 to the Sony Z7U.

BNC to HDMI is imposible with just a cable adaptor, to do this you would need a signal/scan convertor as your trying to send a digital signal to an analog device. You say the sony has component out, is there a facility to get composite video out? usually via RCA phono or BNC. Which you could then connect to the monitor?
Does HDMI not have an analogue mode like DVI does? If so you could go BNC->VGA->DVI->HDMI easily enough.
Ah, sounds like the OP's buggered then. I thought it was a long-shot. Looking at the camera specs it does Component, Composite and S-Video, that shouldn't be too difficult, should it?
Also BNC is just a genric connector which can be used for composite, s-video, component and RGB - (RsGsBs, RGsB, RGBS, RGBHV) <- different types of VGA where the sync signal is carried in different ways) See below for different analog signal types.
