Thanks. For the gimbal I kept it at the default settings and used the PF mode. The gimbal stabilization alone can be a good option for slow, heel-to-toe movements but for anything faster I recommend either keeping Hypersmooth turned on on the GoPro or using Hypersmooth Pro.
Good video. I have been using Gyroflow for a while to stablize my GoPro clips. Like ReelSteady it can run as a standalone app but it can also run as a plugin for Premiere Pro and Davinci Resolve (studio version). Best of all it is free and can work not just with GoPro, but any other camera that can output gyro information.
@@GreatDayForAHike still, you deserve the credits for making the video, putting hours of tiring work into editing and planning the shots and making the edits for us all to learn and understand how to squeeze the best looking shots out of our GoPros. You then deserve the subscribe, which now will be performed! I’ve been following your videos for a while now! Thanks for your efforts!
Great comparison and very helpful conclusions 😊I've only used a gimbal in low light situations but maybe it's time to use it during the day as well, in combination with ND filters, which i have but never used😅
Thanks! Yes, I think what surprises me the most about the combo of the gimbal with the GoPro is the difference with Hypersmooth off vs holding it handheld. The fact that a $99 gimbal that still allows for some shake is enough to prevent the jitter and ghosting is really helpful. When I first tested these various combinations a while ago I remember being shocked the first time :-D
Have you ever tried the Quark Stabilizer gimbal? It’s only got 2-axis stabilization but I’m curious how it would pair with ReelSteady. Would love to see a video on that topic. Cheers!

All EIS systems are delivering bad results including the post process ones, like reelsteady (hypersmooth pro) or gyroflow if the shutter is too low. But its not the fault of the EIS, its because the Motion Blur is a part of the actual frame itself, therefore stabilizing those frames cant stabilize the motion blur in the frame because its blur caused by motion, this jittering effect are the stabilized frames with the "burned in" motion blur from shakiness. You don't need 1/2000 to get good stabilized footage but at least if you film with 30fps you shouldn't go under 1/240. My solution is adding artificial motion blur in post process after gyroflow.
@doom3crazy For FPV I love the 60 FPS and 1/240 shutter speed combo with an ND filter on the GoPro to balance the exposure. I then usually keep ISO Min at 100 and ISO Max at 800. Hypersmooth On. This is the best balance of nice, smooth motion but a fast enough shutter speed to prevent jitter and ghosting.
Really nice tests. Would be nice if you could show the settings of the gimbal in the app and how they affect it’s performance.

Thanks. Gyroflow is indeed a useful tool.
Well, you sir, deserve the biggest like in the comment section! Thank you!
Thanks @Robertsson, Gyroflow now has plugins for Premiere Pro and Final Cut in the Daily Build section of their website.
Gyroflow has come a long way. Thanks for sharing for the benefit of others here too!

I have not used that one before. It would likely do okay with the 2-axis as those two axes are the key ones for minimizing micro-jitters.
Hey there, for the night footage, what iso did you set? I’m assuming fps was 24.
Great question. I do ISO 800 at night.
@@GreatDayForAHike, thanks. I use my GP11 with the same gimbal and I think the night footage is just fine.
@danielclahane966 yes, agreed.

What would you recommend for a fpv drone ?
I own the DJI Avata 2 and like it.
@@GreatDayForAHike sorry. What would you recommend for camera settings when using a GoPro on top of an fpv drone ?
