This was a perfect demo and basic instruction for this device's setup though I think some basic concepts were missed. The first is to use the lightest imaging setup possible. Take off all the "junk" such as handles, cages, microphones, and anything else you can do to lighten up the load even any filters you don't need. For instance, I run with a cabled dummy battery instead of a battery base and I cable a monitor off the device to reduce the weight. The second is to use the shortest lens you can for the situation. It's not about trying to impress with a cool-looking cinema rig, it's about getting the most stable image you can. Good video and fairly comprehensive... I am glad that you included the importance of CG balance in the video.
hey bud- just got this bundle... but the tilt arm doesn't fit the screw on the head one? the screw on the head one is too big for it, and my phone clip pro doesn't fit either... no spare parts only the 3 screws to attach another head one like in video.
I noticed my tilt head one creeps down while in the underslung orientation. Do you know if that's caused by low batteries,, loose comnections/screws, or balance is off? This was very informative as well
This one: amzn.to/3K2jEXW It's amazing. I use it on everything. I probably have like 6 or 7 of them across all my tripods, sliders, mounts, ballheads, etc..
@Petru B. that hasn't been my experience. Are you mounting a camera bigger than the max payload? Are you balancing the camera properly so you don't strain the motors?
@@DoubtMeTech i had it repaired 4 times w edelkrone, each time they accepted the unit was defective. why do you think i would spend over 1k euro for this unit and then deliberately overloading/ unbalancing? use your brain
@@DoubtMeTech Good call. Another thing is using too long a lens zoomed which amplifies any visual issues with the grip equipment. This user is trying to fly IFR when they need to learn the basics of just how to fly their gear before moving on to advanced and sophisticated production equipment. I'm all for encouraging people in the craft but you don't purchase a stunt plane when you don't even know how to fly to begin with. Fortunately, you can't die using this video production equipment but you can kill your reputation and a client's project if you don't know the basics and try to use it on a professional commission.

Just got the bundle...this was very helpful...thank you.
Happy to help. Thanks for watching 🙏🙏
Great instructional vid. Do you have a vid of you using this setup?
A lot of my videos that have b roll footage are shot with this setup. I love it.

At time 0:50, where do you attach the 3/8" adapter or is it an "only if needed" component?
Only if needed.
@@DoubtMeTech 👍
What quick release plate are you using at time 3:20?
This one: amzn.to/3K2jEXW
It's amazing. I use it on everything. I probably have like 6 or 7 of them across all my tripods, sliders, mounts, ballheads, etc..
@@DoubtMeTech Thank you very much. I'll be ordering the same quick release plate today.
@@muleyg You'll love it. Thanks for watching and for the support
How is the sound of the motors? Are they loud?
Not loud at all. It's pretty quiet
very loud and plenty of judder. i had mine serviced 4 times. also small rubbish canon batteries
