EUC for the WIN !! I have been riding for 7 years ang I still have a smile on my face every single time i put a foot on my "precious" :) You'll never get bored with it and you will use it for a bunch of different things ... not just film making ...
hey great video, fellow unicyclist here! Just a bit of advice, hit up a local EUC group and ask the guys to try a Leaperkim wheel like a Sherman S or a Lynx, the suspension on them is really like butter, ideal for camera work. From InMotion another wheel that might be smoother than v14 is V11.
Awesome video, also as a EUC rider and a Sound Op. I can see our EUCs being really great for action shots of cars and bikes, but it might not be a great tool for many other aspects of filming.
I have been doing this a lot while living here in the himalayas - india. Riding from past 4 years and created lot of content. Its quite great to shoot with your hands being free and roaming around to capture best moving shots. ☺ Currently i also leave a drone in active track mode when i go on uphill or valley and village roads. Cheers to new unlocking potential for those who use it and are about to get started. 🤟 #LoveFromHimalayas
V14 is way overkill for filmmaking, but over all I think it's a good thing that they are plugging in motion and high-end EUCs in general. If you are not ready to give $3k for this, even though in the world of film making it's not that crazy of a price, you can get a used kingsong 16x for under $1k these days.
Maybe not...if there are extremely steep hills, or fast moving subjects this could keep up really well, plus the progressive shock probably really aids in keeping the shot nice and smooth
Looks amazing for the tracking shots, especially the last one following a car through the trees! I'm extremely curious to try to at least use a segway for gimbal shots, but having broken my wrist falling off an electric scooter just days before an important commercial shoot that was 99% handheld and gimbal movement left a really sour taste in my mouth.
You were using the stock suspension which is really meant. To soften the big jumps and acrobatics, there is a smother suspension available for more of a urban use.
I think in certain situations an EUC would be great. It's not a one size fit all when it comes to filming. It's just another tool in the bag. With that said, EUCs can just be fun in itself. A great hobby to get into. You would be able to explore and see things you probably wouldn't if you didn't have one.
2 years ago I got the DJI Gimbal and decided to ride from Yonkers to NYC on my veteran sherman with my arm out with the sony a7iii,I wish I watched this video first lmao ..still feeling it!
Almost all of my content that is on ground and moving is filmed by a camera person on an EUC. We have been doing it for years and its amazing, it enables amazing shots like this effortlessly: ruclips.net/video/AXh2LjD2nA4/видео.htmlsi=afOGdbhCIMhdQ9o6&t=304
Nice video, always thought about this! Questions: Have you tried it without a gimbal and/or camera without stabilization (good video idea for a full comparison) & even though it’s made for outdoor use, would you use it indoors (real estate, corporate, trade show) for slower paced long-form shots?
Great questions! I think with enough practice it has potential to use it is almost anywhere. Although a smaller version of it would definitely be better for interiors. This one weighing 80 lbs and being a bigger would make it a little challenging and some smaller locations like a house. I think some locations it would probably not be the right choice but who knows! Only the start 😄
i kinda got into eucs for this idea, and then i kinda just fell in love with riding instead lol. i bought an exn eventually, and i thought i could do it on that but the exn doesnt have a shock its hard tail, so even with a gimbal setup i was getting shocks to the video. i wonder if the segway experience made it easier than from straight i had a long learning curve on my own but it was a small wheel the mcm5. dope video
I think you have pretty much optimal EUC for the job, perhaps if you want more stability you could try street tire on it. Changing tire changes the characteristic of the EUC.
Street tire for filming stuff would definitely be better, but a good street tire for 16inchers... Idk. Would they have gotten a normal 20 inch euc, they would have had plenty of choices
Have you rode one? I got a GT June, 8th, 2023. have over 2,300 miles on it. Got my V14 adventure for my first euc March 13th, 2024 ( Day my buddy passed😭) And tis no comparison. Where I can go with the Euc the Onewheel can't make up for it. I literally went up Mt. Tom with it. on the effing trails. where I had to pick uo the one wheel many times.
What about filming with FPV drone. I love my v14 of course I can also do filming with..but like you say you need sometimes to focus on your driving skills and not on filming. Mastering FPV drone can do all..... except sound because of too much noise from drone motors. So yes it depends on using the right tools in the right moment
But you can train FPV in Simulators, can train EUC in sims. I learned it my self this way, uncrashed on steam for 15€ and Jumper T-light radio Controller for 65€. Cheapest starter set for FPV training
The V14 Can eat its battery really quickly sometimes if you go really fast but it does support fast charging you can charge it from empty to full in one hour
For the average person you're better off using a 360 camera or a drone will get you similar or better camera shots..... but this wasn't about the camera ;)
What kind of insurance claim? People camera operate on everything. Some of the best steadicam operators in the world use rollerblades. People camera operate skiing down a hill.
@@threefoldtv those people don’t make an insurance claim that finds out what they were doing at the time of operating. I’m simply sayin if it came down to that I’m kinda thinking they would claim safety negligence on your part before paying out.
The film industry is missing out on this legendary tool. Welcome to the community.

Yes! They are awesome. Such a different learning curve, but SO SATISFYING! :D

V14 is incredibly smooth, not far off a Lynx in terms of suspension feel. The V11's suspension is abysmal and worse than non-suspension wheels
@AndreiPetuninNo way. Lynx is best!
The possibilities on an EUC are endless. Great job👌🏾
Godspeed
You have a huge choice of wheels for different shots.
You're gonna have to show up at a big group ride.
Welcome to the EUC community !!!
So happy to be here :)

@@randallkornholio2971 Suspension is a plus for sure

They definitely come with some risk/reward factor. sorry to hear about your wrist. :(

Inmotion V8 are the better choice for indoor or slow paced stuff, you can easily go 5kmh. The big wheels are just not great at being ridden slowly

2:35 You need to calibrate the wheel, it's tilted way too far forward
Yea I noticed that too. Makes it easy to accelerate, but way harder to break. And it does weird stuff in turns
The Segway mini pro is the best up to 13 mph for the smoothest filmmaking
Nothing will beat the feeling of an actual #onewheel
Sure an EUC can go further and faster but it's not the same blissful feeling.
Your still in denial 🤣

You said it absolutely right. Right tools for the right job. FPV drones are incredible but they have a harder learning curve to master than an EUC LOL

"Kind of" top tier 😂

No no no... The elephant in the room is the price.
Price to performance, they are solid, but they are still hella expensive.
Just when I think you guys can't get any dumber, you go and do something like this... AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF! #iwantone
For the average person you're better off using a 360 camera or a drone will get you similar or better camera shots..... but this wasn't about the camera ;)
Drones are great and we have a few with a couple thousand hours of flying under our belts. But we consistently run into areas of no fly zones.
yes i went from a gt to the v14 and yes 100%%%%%
Caleb needs to stop being so damn cool.
By the way there’s one on alien rides for 1000$ exact same thing
So you’re riding ClapTrap
I WANTED TO MAKE THIS VIDEO SO BADLEY DAMMIT😂😂😂
lol
It's not a unicycle at all. Stop calling them that.
What should we call electric bicycles? If these aren't electric unicycles? 🤔🤔🤔
Could call them mopeds or a motorcycle, but ya I guess if it's a motorcycle. I was just fixated on the peddling of the cycle part.
Gaymotion
A unicyclye seems like a horrible idea. Can you even get insured or make a claim with that danger?
Horrible is a strong word. 😚
What kind of insurance claim? People camera operate on everything. Some of the best steadicam operators in the world use rollerblades. People camera operate skiing down a hill.
@@threefoldtv those people don’t make an insurance claim that finds out what they were doing at the time of operating. I’m simply sayin if it came down to that I’m kinda thinking they would claim safety negligence on your part before paying out.
@@andyk939 So what you are saying is that this isnt any different than the other hundred ways cameramen tried before?
I be doing 45 mph on muh wheel I'm flipping 48 brah you looking for cumfy security? Sit with Granny and chill we tryna ride hard AF 👁️🐯
