![]() ![]() I actually had the same issue with jitter on my Nebula which I had for a short while. ![]() The beholder performed quite well, I did have some minor jitter when moving but most I could remove with Edius build in stabilizer, you do see the "wobbly" effect of that edius stabilizer some times but for me it's within limits. OK, did some more serious shooting today :) See first post where I have replaced the earlier video. It's limited in camerawheight, the supplier has a gh4 and a 9-18mm lens on it which I also used and that brings the camera to it's max wheight limit I think.įirst impression are good, especially considering it's low price, will show a finished short film end of this week taken entirely with this gimbal.Īll shots where stabilised in Edius to take out the jitters, a process that is very quick but does have it's dissadvanteges as it not always work with every shot. The lcd screen is hard to see because the camera is almost positioned against the backside of the gimbal arm. It's not possible to open the screen on my gh4 because the gimbal arms are on the wrong side, same as with the nebula. The button to active the gimbal is very small and almost level with theh handle which probably was done to prevent it from accidently being pushed but I have had several tmes where I took it out of the bag and activating the gimbal without wanting to. The scew to attach the tripodplate is of a poor quality, the metal is quite soft and I can see it being damaged easily from fastening and making it loose each time. Once you slide the camera and tripod plate in it's just a matter of sliding it forward/backward untill it's balanced and lock it with a screw. This only works ofcourse if you use the same camera/lens combination. Once that is done you can make a small mark on the tripod plate so you can position it correctly immediately when you use it next time. ![]() It's small and light, I found it easier to take along compared to the nebula.Įventhough balancing can be done quick it can be a bit of a hassle the first time you set it up, there are no fine adjustment tools, just a small tripodplate which takes the most time to adjust for a good balance because you have to take the camera of the sled each time to make an adjustment. Smoothness is ok, there are some microjitters which I also experienced with the nebula, only the nebula is possible to finetune if you know what you are doing. If after you activate the gimbal and it is not pointing straight ahead you can easily correct that with the small joystik on the handle to pan or tilt, something the nebula can"'t do so you need to turn the sled to the right direction. If you start the gimbal up it doesn't shake like the nebual did, if you keep it horizontal while activating it just remains it's position. The rotation of the handle and camerasled is limited, you can't keep it turning causing wires to snap which can happen with the Nebula if you are not carefull.īalancing is very quick done and even if it's off balance the gimbal will still correct to keep it level, as far as I know it's not possible to change parameters. The gimbal motors are much stronger then the Nebula 4000 I have used before, I can start and stop the camera while the gimbal is active and it doesn't move, the Nebula would go haywire as soon as I touched the camera. There are some good things to say about this one but also some bad, for my purpose it's ok to use and I plan to make a day free this week to make a personal short film. It actually looks a bit what I saw when I got stung by a wasp yesterday :) I don't have persmission to show this footage so that's why I made it look a bit funky because it's about the motion, not what you actually can see. Daddy has got a new toy :) I got myself a beholder 3 axis gimbal for 500 dollar, it's the cheapest and smallest I could find for my personal use and for the few weddings I still have left to do.
