@@familiastover58 Thank you, Karl. Hope you and the family are staying safe with this hurricane headed your way.

@@familiastover58 Thanks, Karl. Last Sunday I get the following text from my six year old granddaughter, Mabel: “Are you going to ate a spitter on 4th of July”. I was kind of confused and showed it to Missy. She laughed and said that Mabel is asking me if I’m going to eat a spider when we are all together on the 4th. Made me laugh and think of you. I replied: “Haha! Hello Mabel! I hope I don’t eat a spider on the 4th of July. My friend hasn’t sent me one. Love you!”

Thank you!

Hi Bea! I passed your message on. She said “Thank you!” Hope you, Jeff, and the family are all well.

I know! Right???

Thank you!

Haha! Yes, in your best French accent.

Glad you liked it, Karl. Thank you!

I should have mentioned that this video wouldn’t have been possible without yours and Sebastian’s great video work.

@@ShawnyPops You forgot to mention my studly exit from the house too!

@@ShawnyPops Oh Yeah I also bought a better action camera for next time.

I’m sorry but I don’t know. I’ve not been on that ride.

Everyone was too busy climbing to bother with video. Fun and a good workout.

Ha! You know it, Carl!

Ana Paula Praxedes - You are too sweet, Ana! Thank you!

Andrew Mayfield Thank you! Glad you liked it.

KyleHowie Thank you. The anamorphic lens looks really interesting. I was under the impression that the Movi did not have the same issue as Osmo showing the gimbal motor.

Doug Sweet No. I did not make any modifications. It fits but not well. It doesn’t sit in the little pockets on the sides.

Nnanna Okoroji Thanks. You can check out the setup here: th-cam.com/video/m5ebLbSjR8Y/w-d-xo.html but yes, Moment has a counterweight solution that work with the Osmo Mobile 2.

Kaleb Page Even though the phone with the case doesn’t fit like it’s suppose to, like it does without a case, it doesn’t feel like it’s going to fall out. I don’t have any issues using the gimbal, lens, and counterweight so long as I take the time to balance it before hand which takes more fiddling than without the case, lens, and weight. It’s important to note though that I’ve not taken any long videos with this setup. I’m usually shooting in three to five minute bursts.

Thanks for the response. I've no experience at all with gimbals, let alone jury rigging counterweights, so it should be quite the learning experience for me. Hopefully I can get a good feel for it quickly as I will only have 5-7 days between receiving my gimbal and leaving for my trip! No doubt going to be copying your counterweight system.

Kaleb Page Moment has a universal counter weight that won’t be available in time for your trip but might be worth the cost when it is available (late June). I plan to get one. They recommend 90g, btw, for my phone and case. They have a link to a google sheet that shows how much weight you need for different phone and case combos (it’s on the second tab). www.shopmoment.com/shop/universal-gimbal-counterweight

That counterweight is already on my radar but I appreciate you taking the time to direct me to the Google Sheet as I overlooked it! Looks like I'll be shopping for 90g of washers once I get that puppy in the mail.

One more question for you: Have you discovered a decent weight for countering the Moment case WITHOUT a lens? The obvious solution is to simply remove the case and all counterweights, but I'm cautious to leave my glass baby completely exposed.

Marie Falkering That stinks. Sorry it’s not working for you.

Dem Catacutan 100 grams.

It does. See here: th-cam.com/video/m5ebLbSjR8Y/w-d-xo.html

Mac Cortez That’s a good question. I’ve not used it for a timelapse but I’m guessing your angles will be limited. I’ll check it out and report back to you.

thanks for the reply - please do! Seems like no one can give me an answer!

It sometimes shows up but it's pretty easy to avoid if you are paying attention. On a few shots,​ I've had to crop in when I'm editing the video to hide it.

Im having the same issue with the Osmo 2 and the X. My Olloclip maybe a wider field of view because its an issue! ugh.

Hello and thank you, Yaan. So long as I take the time to balance the setup, the motors don't seem to struggle. By that, I mean that they work as normal without getting hot and so far, without impacting the battery life. I've yet to run the gimbal below 50% before being done for the day. That said, balancing takes a little bit more time with the lens and counterweight. The only thing I find annoying about the setup is that the rubber grips on the Osmo Mobile 2 are designed for the phone without a case on it. There isn't any risk of it popping out while using it but when I putting it in and adjusting it for the first time, it does want to slip out. I don't think you'll have a problem with your IP7 plus.

ToeCutter I agree!!!

Hey Lance. You can see my experience with that here: th-cam.com/video/MrqbxjirpFY/w-d-xo.html

Aaron Waggoner Hello! Yeah, I noticed that to from the same Moment video and I didn’t want to be limited to flash light mode as they suggested. Yes, that’s exactly what I did. I slid the gimbal adjustment all the way over to its shortest length before figuring out how much weight to add to counterbalance the phone. I’ve used the gimbal and lens together now a few more times and the motors don’t get hot and I’m not noticing any impact on battery. The only negative so far is setup takes a bit longer. I agree that the phone and case don’t fit well in the gimbal. I definitely won’t use it where wind or motion might cause it to slip out. Overall I’d give the product a “B” on design. Still, it’s working for me and takes enough shake out of the footage that I don’t have to worry about that being a distraction.

I’m getting the same thing. I can see the gimble in my shot. My Osmo mobile 2 vibrates like crazy sometimes too. It barely fits in with the moment case on. Probably the osmos only design flaw was the iPhone clamp.

I did add enough weight to slide the phone as far away from the gimbal motor as possible. I totally agree with the clamp issue using any kind of case. But all in all, with some effort, I’m able to make the two work together. I’ve had to zoom in slightly on a few shots to crop out the motor.

Hello Kaylee. I’ve only used it a handful of times so far, maybe thirty minutes worth of video in total. I’ve only had an issue once when I was in a hurry to film my grandkids and I didn’t get it balanced right before turning it on. If I tilted the gimbal too far in any one direction it would topple over. One of the motors also got warm. I turned it off, balanced it correctly, it then worked fine and none of the motors got warm.

Dudley Warner Yeah, that kind of bugs me about the iPhone X case. The line is actually on the top and not the side like I expected it to be. In fact, when I first got the case and lens I instinctively positioned the line on the lens towards the side of the case but it wouldn’t attach that way. Oh well!

Sorry, I did not know that there was a difference with the iPhone X case. Moment says that their new OM2 weight will ship in the Spring. In the meantime, I am going to try your DIY fix. Thanks for the video.

Dudley Warner The logos are upside down when I hold the phone in what I consider the normal way (and the only way it will mount with the Osmo Mobile). I wonder if it has something to do with the cameras being oriented up and down instead of left to right. Thanks for the heads up about the weight. I kind-of-sort-of weighed the side of the phone with the lens on while attached to the gimbal (used a food scale) and it weighed about 110 grams. I weighed fender washers until I got close to that weight.
