    Using the G7 as it's my main camera, still learning and I use a flycam3000 stabilizer with the flycam arm.
    I've added weight by adding a cage, top handle and created it quite modular so I can go from tripod to shoulder to gimbal quite quickly.
    I'm looking at a gimbal because you can now combine the two to create a DIY arri trinity gimbal which is mind blowing, so I was going to get the weebil s.
    I'm not concerned about it not connecting to the gimbal with the cable. I've gotten used to having a monitor and when it records the feed cuts off so I've just been getting focus,exposure and composition right then using the small screen when I'm happy with it all dialled in.
    I've not upgraded the camera simply because I'm happy and I'm still learning so theres that.
    Thanks for the vid it's good to know the weebil s will handle the weight since its stronger than the lab... I think lol

    Great review TA. I have the Moza Air 2 & besides issues with compatibility w/GH4 it is I have discovered slightly too heavy for me for everyday workouts. I will look at the Ronin SC & also the Moza Aircross 2 as perhaps a new set of options.

    • @PaulTakesPhotos
      @PaulTakesPhotos  4 роки тому +2

      Thanks Maria for the compliment!
      The Crane 2 was a good but heavy too. That aside the GH4 body is heavier than the G7 as well.
      I need to look into more detail into the Moza Aircross 2

    • @MariaAltmann
      @MariaAltmann 4 роки тому +1

      Yes, I know the Moza Aircross may be great... what is holding me back is Gudsen... not great Customer service... had/have issues with the power/record button on the Moza Air 2 & didnt check servicing/repair/return options here in Australia.. so it will cost a third-party fee to have it repaired locally.... (more money). What I have done though is bought a Pilotfly H2 (want a H2 45 hard to find). I figured that if you cant connect the GH4 camera to the Gimbal at an affordable price then I may as well get the lightest - strongest - reliable gimbal that has a wonderful reputation. You do need to pre-program it however with somewhere. I like this Gimbal very much & will try to get a Pilot H2 45 (angle improved) when I find one at the right price. They are both exactly the same but the H2 45 allows you to see the screen without having to 'flip roll to 180 degree for GH4 to open LCD screen'. Seeing you video again this morning Paul.. helped as I dont feel as stupid as I did... buying gimbals... until I find the right one. I do intend to get a GH5 later (would make life easier) but as I know I am keeping GH4 as second camera... I decided, it will always want its own Gimbal as well.

      @PaulTakesPhotos  3 роки тому

      Kan ik niet zeggen eerlijk gezegd omdat ik die gimbal nooit gebruikt heb. Wat ik wel kan zeggen is dat de bouw van de G7 meestal de grootste problemen geeft bij de meeste gimbals als het op het balanceren aankomt. Wat ik je zou aanraden is om eens op Reddit te kijken. Daar kom ik vaak heel duidelijke gebruikerservaringen tegen.

    The g7 will not be able to balance all points properly because of the viewfinder. The camera needs to be able to be titled up with the lens pointing up and stay without falling forward or backwards, it cannot do this .

    • @PaulTakesPhotos
      @PaulTakesPhotos  4 роки тому

      What I can share from my limited experience is that when it comes to cages and steadicams it is all about your way of walking and body posture.
      I normally like watching somebody like Jeven Dovey who has a ton of tutorials on his channel that are very useful for any filmer.
      I really think what you are facing is more that you look at pro footage and that is your reference, I had that too. Nowadays I experiment with simple b-roll exercises and try to apply some of the body posture and movements that I observed on UA-cam. Mind you it is hard work but as usual the pieces will fall in to place over time.
      Not sure if it is helpful but I had pretty disappointing experiences and decided to try to master technique first and see how it would benefit the smoothness of my footage

      The Crane 2 is a battle horse, but if you look at the compatibility list (see below) the GH4 is compatible but it is much heavier than the G7, therefore I would be very careful purchasing the Crane 2

      The GH4 is an excellent camera, really so many features and it caters to beginners and professionals. As for the Raleno. I did use it more to improve my camera walking (to eliminate the micro jitters etc) but grew tired of it after 3 months. If you are getting started the best I can recommend is to use your camera strap and there is a great tutorial from the Tubenoob ua-cam.com/video/KfU3X6K-Dec/v-deo.html all about getting those shot and the technique without using a gimbal it helped me so much. You can always spend money once you become more comfortable

    • @PaulTakesPhotos

      I published an episode yesterday specifically testing the G7 on the newly arrived Ronin SC.
      The G80 is a great camera and in terms of weight it is pretty similar to he GH4 which balances with the 12-60 on the Ronin (I own the gh4) . When it comes to the lens there should not be any problems.
      Just make sure you have a returns policy that includes refund and return within 30 days if you don't like the Gimbal. Just to be clear all the cameras I own (G7, GH4 and the Sony a6400 and Sony a7iii balance with the heaviest lenses) if any follow up questions let me know.

      @PaulTakesPhotos  4 роки тому +1

      Hi Patricia,
      To answer your question. I think the Ronin SC is probably the best gimbal overall. In terms of balancing and use it is very good.
      What is important is whether the gx1 has a remote control port on it, if so you could buy a cable (seey two latest videos for more info) and connect it.
      As it is an older camera there are no solid guarantees that the camera and gimbal (via cable) will enable all the features nor work.
      A good workaround is using your panansonic app or the Ronin app.
      Hope this answers your question
