![Improving Your Camera Movement - A Filmmaking Lesson [Sony A7siii + DJI RS2 Gimbal]](/img/n.gif)
Thanks for doing these tests. I know they take a ton of time to do, so thanks.
Very impressive! This is going to open up a lot of new options for shots!
Hi Matt, I built a computer to the specs on one of your video.. Rocks... thanks for making these vids... you area legend.
But 7sIII still crazy price
Matt J, please test this yourself and kindly share results. Please clarify whether the gyroscopic meta-data works with only 30 fps or 24 fps, which is apparently the case with the a7c. Great if the Browse / Catalyst stabilization works with 60 fps footage, whether 4k or 1080p.
@@mirthakoch AAAAH! that is why it is not acepting my a/siii files!
Why can’t Sony just do this “in camera”?
This being only usable with higher shutterspeed, I can see the AWESOME use of this for running action scenes where the fast shutterspeed will enhance the action. Great tool to have.
outstanding content I have not seen anywhere else. Thanks for your intelligent application of stabilization features, their advantages and disadvantages, and it is so valuable that you shoot in real moving conditions and that you are so familiar with gimbals and camera movement.
Thankyou so much Brandon, I've been a fan for a long time and its so good to see all the new advances happening in 2020
I have been waiting for someone to test out the A7S III gyro stablization! Thanks, Brandon! GoPro had it since the introduction of Reelsteady and also the SteadXP a few years back. Finally, camera manufacturers started to implement it! Can't wait to one day put the A7S III on to an FPV drone with that gyro stabilzation.
Exciting to finally see an additional tool for stabilization. Thanks for another great video!
Great tutorial Brandon. Thanks for sharing the info and techniques you use 👍🙏
Your videos are always informative, upbeat, watchable, and damned interesting. I learn something new with each one that comes along. And once you stop learning, you just... stop. Thank you for your work.
One of the most useful videos I've seen in a while! Thanks my dude.
The more I see the ZV-1 I sense it's way underappreciated. So many 'tech nuggets' keep popping up that it may become a reference class product where people 'discover' many cool things they can do with it never valued or noticed early on. Really impressive and great job Brandon!
The ZV-1 is really the "test the water" product. The ZV-2 needs the new menu, 10-bit 4k60 and better bionz XR chip inside.
This is actually incredible! I had no idea this even existed, this makes me so excited for the future
Thank you! Very in depth and helpful video.
Ya those 3 drawbacks (added crop, stabilization unpredictability, and loss of realistic motion blur) is a tough pill to swallow, but I can see this coming in handy in certain instances. Like you said, it has its strengths and drawbacks. I don't foresee myself using it often, but who knows. Thanks for putting this together Brandon.
Gotta say your awesome for pointing out this killer feature of this camera. Why non of the other reviewers mentioned this feature is beyond me.
Finally someone competent tested the gyro stab. Great video as always!
Yet another great tutorial from you, thanks very much, appreciate your work here.
Wow, great review! I preordered my a7s iii a few weeks ago and didn't realize that it had that feature built in. Looking forward to testing it out. Thanks for making such a killer review!
Great comparative tests. Thank you very much Brandon! 🙌🔝
First, you have an eye for the coolest shots and cinematography. Now on the demo, this is a great comparison and demonstration of this feature. Never seen it in action now I see how effective it can be, really impressed with it. Your shots with gimbal and gyroscope look Hollywood level good.
very comprehensive! keep up the good work again, brandon!
Thanks for making this video, Brandon. It was very helpful. The new A7siii is such an amazing camera and Sony is doing such an amazing job.
One thing I haven’t seen anyone cover about this camera is how the filing system is now. Had the a6000 and hated how videos were separate and in a hidden folder. Hope you can update us on this?
What impressed me by the end of your video is how spot on the focus stayed glued to your subject
Hay UNM! I graduated in 1998. Instantly recognized the center of the universe sculpture. Great to see! Great video. Thanks!
great feature, great explanation and samples! thank you Mr. Brandon!
WOW! Impressive results for sure, albeit with some compromises from a workflow perspective. A true game changer when the post-processing becomes an in-built camera feature/capability.
Best video I have seen on this new Sony feature! And I love your conclusion.
Masterful video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge wise sir 🙏🏾
Amazing stabilization, but its a trade-off with the stuttery fast shutter speed
You can add motion blur in post
@@Deatarus51 reelsmart motion blur is great for that. Is used a lot on render CG since blur in render GC is extremely slow. Plus I think there are some free tools that do the same.
What will be great is using the same metadata info for this motion blur plugins to apply blur before the crop to avoid some additional crop when some unwanted artifact may appear. I think Sony can add that feature in their software if is a demand for it.
@@Deatarus51 It would definitely help, but for things like the guys hands in the running shot, it's never going to look as authentic as an actual 180 degree shutter. It would also be a hassle to run every stabilized clip through a motion blur plugin, which usually require moderate render times.
Can you shoot with higher Flatrate, so you can have a fast shutter speed?
Or is it limited to 24/25fps?
there are after effects plugins that can calculate intelligent real looking motion blur, software solutions are the best haha
You just got a new sub man. Thank you for making these type of videos!
Thanks for this! I've seen several UA-cam reviews for the A7s III and no one has mentioned this!
My RX 0ii has this too. So happy
Ok so now this camera is literally perfection
I already knew I wanted it but this video single handedly put the a7siii on my priority list.
Dope video, thanks for testing and sharing
Such an informative video. Thanks!
Soo good. Please do more test. Love it!
5:20 Damn that was a really nice sprint!
Wasn't expecting that.
Impressive. I cant wait to get this camera. Thx for sharing, Brandon.
Excellent video and programme!!! Thanks 👌🏻👏🏻🎥📽👍🏻
The classic Brandon Li “full out gimbal sprint” NEVER fails to impress the hell out of me😂😊🖤
A lot of food for thought here. Great tests and comparisons as always
Excellent explaination and presentation.. Thank you..
There's always a compromise although this is great. you're paying the price with cranking up your shutter so all the realistic motion blur is gone. Then cropping and lost of all the high quality we crave. I see this useful only to save a shot or 2. I don't see now going handheld because of this and not using a gimble. Not to mention the extra step to go through your files stable them then tweak then export. Nice to know we do have an option to save us in a pinch, but no way would I use this in a regular workflow. 🤙🏼 Thank you for this Brandon.
Then you dont have to use ND Filters.
It has much deeper usability as a way to remove subtle shakes from traditionally stabilized shots (gimbal, steadicam, slider, auto rig). In cases with mild camera shake, you can use a 180 shutter angle and still get good results with Catalyst. As with all tools, it has strengths and drawbacks.
@@BrandonLiUnscripted Having to switch OFF the IBIS and the lens OIS to use it, I think it´s too risky.
You can use the 180 degree shutter rule. It's just that the greater the stabilisation needed, the worse the motion blur becomes. If your shot is pretty stable to begin with, you don't need to crank up your shutter. It's the difference between getting shot with a high shutter speed vs not getting the shot at all.
@@texelnet you should be switching ibis off if you're doing any panning motion on a gimbal anyway.
I freakin love this! Can’t wait to use this feature. Great video.
Man awesome work!
That initial scene was fire! Straight from a Jason Bourne movie 🔥
Very cool! Thanks Brandon!
That video just made RX0 II even more tempting to buy, thanks!
Thanks alot sir that was really really ammazing technic that every video production person love to know
Brandon - nice job on this. I can see special use cases for the post-gyro data approach but it is as cumbersome, even if the results are better, as going naked (no gimbal, etc.) and depending on AE/Premiere/FC to fix it in post. I'd much rather deal with the gear than depend on a later fix. Also - pumping up the shutting speed is poison with a lot of subjects.
What an awesome and helpful video!
Because I love cinematography and I need another blac magic 4k camera. Thank you Ahmed from Iraq 😁💪🏆
just received our a7s3. loving it. 💕
Whoa. What amazing technology. Great video. Thx for the revealing info. So many uses.... even though it means losing a little control.
Oh, wow. I've been using my ZV-1 for my most recent videos and bummed about the stabilization. Didn't even know this existed! Thanks!
Brandon, you really know your stuff. You are what we called SME-Subject Matter Expect. Appreciate you sharing your skill. I am not a videographer but just started using My iPhone 11 pro with a MOVI. Thanks man
wonderful video-lots of this is very technical for me.
Excelente video ... top notch technical information 👍👍👍
So cool. Thanks Brandon!
excellent work Brandon...very dynamic
Thanks! Just awesome and insane
Wooohoooww, that´s amazing
Wow! I think you're bringing up another game-changing point (as many of your videos do) that could change the industry. Thank you again for putting out videos that REALLY HELP filmmakers (vs. boring VLOGS about someone's day which don't do much to help filmmakers.)
This is exactly what I was waiting for
Thank you for sharing!👍
Amazing
Can i use a stabalized lens such as the 16-35 F4 with catalyst browse? I cant seem to find the answer:(
This is bonkers! Absolute game changer!
Great info/demo.
This feature enables me to go handheld with my fx9 and get that "handheld feel" while still looking smooth. You just have to walk like a ninja so you don't shake the sensor with your footsteps. But I would love if Sony made a plug-in for NLE's (like Premiere Pro) so they could read the sensor data. The workflow as it's now is pretty slow, where you need to bring it into Catalyst and export every clip you want to stabilize.
The reason why i really watching and learning from this guy is because he is not shilling for one brand. When they were all “a7siii lowlight is this and that” Brandon’s comment on his a7siii lowlight was there’s definitely noise but he just put his subject where there’s good light and that’s honesty and we the fans appreciate.
This is exciting! In the future when we shoot 8k and punch in to 6k... and we just need to figure out how to add some decent natural motion blur in post... hmm. Odd, but I really like it. I'm excited for what this will evolve into.
This is great! Would have loved to see some results at different shutter speeds. I was super excited about this feature on the a7siii, but not sure how usable it is, if it only works with high shutter speeds. Thanks for taking the time to create and share this!
It works with your standard 1/50 ss over 24p if you are not moving too much or too fast. But if walking or running, fast shutter speed are recommended from many reviews I've seen
That is AMAZING! I wonder if it's possible to then add interpolated motion blur in post. Usually when I try such things it shows some artifacts. But by recording in high frame rates such as 120fps, the software will have a lot more data to work with. Such thing for example is called "pixel motion blur" in Adobe After Effects. One major downside is that it's extremely slow to process. I'll have to test that out when I get my hands on the a7s iii..
There are plugins for motion blur but none are perfect. I’d like to know which is the best currently, and if it is improved with higher frame rate shooting
@@BrandonLiUnscripted the best is real smart motion blur although it causes artifacts too.
Interpolated motion blur in post is based on analyzing vectors. Assuming you shooted in 120fps and you applied a catalyst stabilization, it would make the vector analyze between the foreground (running subject) and background even more accurate. I'm assuming it would work quite well except if the background has a lot of different pattern. It's a ton of frame to render so it would add more render time though.
Thanks for the video @Brandon Li, amazing content as usual :)
@@BrandonLiUnscripted Thanks for the video. Do you mind if I ask why you said the shutter speed needs to be cranked higher? If Catalyst is only using the internal gyro data to stabilize, then the shutter speed shouldn't matter. Thanks.
Realsmart motion blur would be your friend here.
Oh wow. Didn't know about this. Fantastic.
That's really freaking cool!
Thanks for the amazing video
Wow. I didnt know that feature. Thanks!
There was a 3rd party product by a French company I think that added this functionality to any camera. The gyro data was added to the file via the cameras audio input. Reelsteady go does an amazing job but only with gopro cameras.
DUUUUUUDE!!! That stabilization is insane!!
You haven't seen GoPro and ReelSteady. They are still 2 steps ahead.
Great video. Thanks
Great video 👍🏻 Thanks 🙏🏻
That inertiacam footage was sick bro.. Definitely using it for music videos ❤
amazing content,
I'm not even filmmaker,
but I like knowledge of this guy
Great stuff Brandon. I love the REELSTEADY GO app for the GoPro as it uses gyro data. The output becomes almost dreamy it is so smooth.
RS Go is great, it's just limited to GoPro. I wish RS had made a more universal version of their software but now that won't happen because GoPro bought them.
Bam! Liked, and subscribed! Looking for a video like this. Thank you!
That’s so crazy 🔥🔥
Just wow!! Have you tried adding motion blur in post to make motion appear a bit more natural?? Thanks for making these videos, so much fun to watch :))
That is awesome!
wow. This is actually freakin' awesome. The high shutter speed and no motion blur does make it less pleasing though. Active actually looks pretty good too.
Holy moly this is incredible
It’s a great tool for certain situations. I don’t wanna crank the shutter. But for some athletics or car commercials rolling shots it can deff be useful.
nice review. thanks.
Thank you for this.
At first I was shocked how smooth the result, because everything i saw before from FX9 with gyroscope stab was with some blurry artifacts anyway. But after your words about shutter speed I was a bit disappointed because I usually don't like footage with fast shutter. So it's big minus of this method.
But anyway, it's great to have this option!
And somehow fast shutter looks good on energetic scenes like in this video.
Thank you Brandon! Beautiful video from you each time ;-)
Big fan of your marvelous work.🤩
I have a question if you May, does the export affect the color data of the original clip?
Because you didn’t mention that in the video I believe 🤓
You’re the best!
I would definitely like to have this feature for travel as I often don't have the time or capacity to bring a gimbal. I wonder why catalyst works better than active stabilisation in camera if they both use the same data. In camera is definitely a time saver.
This is how you test features , Thanks Brandon !
Thank you Brandon.
