How to set up a camera stabilizer? Moza Air 2 & Flycam Redking step-by-step guide
Переглядів 246Рік тому
Many student filmmakers are afraid of using a stabilizer, mainly because (1) they never know the existence of a handheld stabilizer; (2) they don't know how to use it. In this video, I walk through the setup of two popular stabilizers: Moza Air 2 (electronic) and Flycam Redking (mechanical). The mechanical stabilizer is heavier than the electronic one, but it has several advantages. First, it d...

    免费版的overleaf基本做不了任何事了,从零开始的话比Word难用。Word的代码块引用极丑,公式和引用已经和LaTex差不多了,而且搞得到的模板不知为何总是缺一点"学术气"。Word页面定位好像不如LaTeX准。所以最好是两种都懂吧,各有长短~

I just wondered why did you started and did one short video and stoped wish you answer my question ? If you have some expertise you could have been a good asset for us people like me who buys for the first time a Sony FX6 where I had the 5 for a very short time went and sold it gave up since I could not learn much ! But now I am forcing myself and my brains to learn on how to do the basic things and be able to operate this machine take a few good videos . Thank you

    I'm really amazed for how many people this video was so useful, even though it covered only the very basics. I would have thought that, if you use such a camera, chances are you're a professional already. But as it seems, a lot of beginners have access to this highly sophisticated and quite expensive camera.

    I think you can control the Iris on the lens if you put it on the A which means Automatic. I think I saw that in another video where someone showed that, but I am not sure if it works. It is worth a try anyway. Thank you for the video. It's a good content. You got yourself a new subscriber.

    • @valuemastery
      @valuemastery 7 місяців тому

      When the iris ring of the lens is used, all iris setting in the FX6 are ignored. As soon as you set the iris ring to its A position, the camera takes over. Then you can either set the iris on the camera, either using the quick settings, or by pressing the iris button, or by using one of the custom dials that you have set to control iris. Or, by holding the iris button, you can change iris mode to auto. Note: Putting the iris ring to "A" will not enable automatic iris, but just transfer iris control over to the camera. If you want it be be in auto mode, you have to set the camera accordingly.

      @yuanjianliu 11 місяців тому

      Hi friend, this camera is a little bit expensive. If you want to use some SONY camera, I recommend SONY A7S3 or even SONY A7 III. The FX6 is more for feature films, advanced commercials, documentaries, and so on. It cost $6,000 for the camera body alone. You also need to buy some camera lenses to use it.
