      Yeah, I love him. The give-aways are awesome of course, but he's also very good at explaining in layman's terms the technical specs of whatever he's talking about. I loved his ep on old video cameras (like the VG20 & LS300) still being viable.

    Please forgive me for this feedback. To anyone interested. I just came back from the Great Australian Bight with use of the RONIN S & Lumix camera. It worked amazingly considering the environmental abuse it underwent in the places I took it. Fine ochre dust/mist/salt air etc.. though the weight of it became intensive over long distances. But over all, an excellent gimble.
    Thank you for this upload Markus.

  • @benbishop1131
    @benbishop1131 3 года назад +4

    I use a stabilizer exactly like the flycam red king. By adjusting the handle/gimble you can flip it so the weights are on top and the cam on bottom if you need low angle shots, but you will have to flip the footage in software because it's upside down. Just a tip for people wanting to get a little more from their stabilizer.

    Hi Markus, Thanks for a good basic intro into different camera support systems. I'm very familiar with stills tech, but a complete newbie on video. I'm trying to get up to speed with 'convergence' and seeing where my Sony kit can take me with video. Much to learn and your overview of different support approaches really helps - as does debunking the myth that any given brand/model 'gimbal X' will suddenly be transformative and steady out all movement. Like most things in life I suspect that 'good' takes time and skill, which in turn is built from knowledge and lots of practice. I'm thinking of eventually buying a basic gimbal for video, but thought I would start with a Manfrotto fluid head that I ordered last week. Learning to walk, before attempting to run. Lots to learn with video - camera work, sound, editing software, production finesse, message to convey... aka story telling etc etc.
    I subscribed some time back, enjoyed many of your prior vids on flash, light modifiers etc and suspect there are a lot of video production areas you could usefully cover in future too. Thanks again - I appreciate your kind, friendly non patronising approach and feel that Carla adds to your channels unique look too.

Being a photographer/ artist & stock distributor I want to learn and shoot video. My DSLR Canon 5D Mark IV with heavy lens and no flip screen makes it very difficult for me to keep it steady and do some good B Roles and do vids on my RUclips channel without all the shakes . This video has helped a lot . I am thinking of buying a DJI Ronin S Gimbal . Hope I make a good decision . Keep up the good work. x

  • @ksnax
    @ksnax Месяц назад

    Inertial mass is the key for all of the passive systems. The further away from frame center the mass is, the more inertia they have for a specific weight. Back in the 90s, I built a triple weight flybar mount for my Hi-8 camera. And while the IS on the Sony camera was revolutionary and worked fantastic on it's own, the flybar weights completely changed the game for less than $30 (could have gotten it done for under $5, but I made it nicer than that). I bought a DJI gimble for my phone a few years ago, and the only thing it really does better than the flybars is lateral roll stabilization, but adjusting the weights and locations on the flybars would alter that as well. One doesn't need the $$$ gear if they have good technique and a little bit of ingenuity.

    Markus, I've been watching your videos for a few years now, and I really enjoy what you have to talk about. I have an X-Grip, and a hand-held mechanical gimbal. Both, I've had for a couple years. And to be honest with you, I prefer the X-Grip over the gimbal, because I don't have to fuss with any counterweights or the balancing of the camera. I can simply pick up and go. Anyway, thanks again for all you do.

    Hi Marcus, congratulations on your great video! Amazing content and presentation! I have tried all of those stabilisers over the years (except the body armours). I totally agree with you that non of them can perfectly steady your shot, especially when walking. I use tripod plus handheld in slow motion (60p and 120p) and when recording dialog Electronic Gimbal (Moza Aircross 2). Take care

    @DineshBhadwal 3 года назад

    You can either watch a zillion videos on RUclips or just watch this and know everything about this subject. I think the best is the Galaxy Vest as one can buy the Redking first and practice all the moves and later add the vest for added comfortability. Also, Markus you can still use the Flycam Vest system to float on the kitchen table. All you need to do is to use a longer lens. It would not only give you a shallower depth of field but it will also keep you a bit away from your talent. What I have experienced is that if the camera is too close it can hinder the character's movement as she becomes conscious of this electronic device too close to them. Staying a bit away from the character is also a great way to leave them alone in their private space to concentrate and do their thing! Thank you.

    This was a wonderful presentation outlining the versatility or lack thereof of the different systems. Recently, however, folks ((including me) are combining systems. Personally, I have combined the ProAim Galaxy vest and arm, with the Flycam Redking steadicam, onto which I mount a Zhiyun Weebill S gimbal. Essentially it is a “fake” Arri Trinity, aka the mini Trinity. I’ve tried many systems, but this combo combines the best of both worlds (steadycam plus gimbal). The spring arms of the vest do, in my opinion, contribute significantly to a reduction in vertical movement, which means I no longer have to do the stupid duck walk to get stable shots. Additionally, the mini Trinity does wonderful booming/low angle/spinning/slider type shots effortlessly. I would love to see you memorialize this kind of rig.

    A well-made Steadicam arm that attaches to a vest does indeed stabilize - it prevents all of the up and down bounce of your walking from reaching the camera, one of the main issues you point out with these devices.
