    I am extremely honoured you made a whole video from my previous request! Thanks mate!
    Anyway, in terms of stability, I agree there is very little difference (maybe no difference at all), between the 3 modes; at least when jogging and using a selfie stick.
    I think I will maintain my DJI Action 2 settings similar to yours when documenting my forest field works, either horizonsteady or steady. Thanks again Espen!

      @EspenJohan  2 года назад +2

      Thank you Jason for giving me such a great suggestion, we are here for eachother👍. I cant see any difference in stabilization, but I think the image looks a little clearer and sharper in Rocksteady. Not much but some, but for me I will film in horizon balancing and steady. Thank you so much my friend for the support and nice comments. Have a wonderful day😀

    Great vid. I'm going to test steady and HB. I noticed the distortion with sides looking stretched with rocksteady and I'm only recording my daughter playing. Is there an optimal focal length, like is there guidance on how far should the camera be away from you? I think that might also reduce the distortion in rocksteady.

    • @EspenJohan
      @EspenJohan  Год назад

      Thank you, steady and HB is great and the image doesn't look too distorted. Remember that for best image quality wide or ultra wide has the best image quality. But look way too distorted. In focal length I'm not sure what's the optimal length. But remember focus distance is 0,3 meter. Thanks for watching 😀

      @EspenJohan  10 месяцев назад +1

      Hi 😀, thanks for watching. Well the action 2 has a really wide field of view, I usually film with standard d-warp 4k 30fps. But for travel videos 60 fps will work well. I would not film in 1080p, the quality is not that good. But 4k 60fps will look good.

    This is exactly what I was looking for. My Action 2 Power Bundle arrived yesterday and I have been testing out different modes and was trying to figure out the difference between steady and rocksteady. I could tell steady was more cropped but the naming makes it confusing between "steady" and "rocksteady". I'd think that steady would be less stabilization than rocksteady. I really like it so far and am very satisfied with my purchase. It was $279 USD and I think that makes it hard to beat.

    • @EspenJohan
      @EspenJohan  2 года назад +1

      Hey, the Sony is a excellent camera. I have it and love it. But yes the action 2 is a better camera, that's my opinion. Better image quality, better stabilization and the wide option in field of view is awesome. And the camera module is waterproof, I wish the whole system was. But it's not. All depend of what you are using the camera for. I really like the action 2, I use it for action sport and vlogging. And it just works. I know some don't like it, don't know why. Some have issues with overheating, I never experience that at all. I use it outdoor all the time. Thanks for watching 😀

    Don't forget to take corners, because that's really where all the difference between stabilization comes into play, and GoPro is downright bad at this, to the point of wanting an osmo instead. Videographers downgrade from GoPro 10 or 9 to GoPro 8 or 7,

Equipping yourself is not ecological knowing that it is necessary to avoid as much as possible having electronics manufactured which destroys the planet and I would avoid as much as possible, it is not a necessity.
