$500 GIMBAL VS. $200,000 HOLLYWOOD CAMERA CAR B-ROLL

[@joshuadavis3392]

The tracking shot looked more stable with the gimble than with the KALA

[@techr9186]

there's a problems with damping arm, makes Movi XL looks bad, I'd say biased review

[@ericmarciniak3541]

camera car looked way unbalanced

[@FilipVanekVIDEOPRODUCTION]

thats bcs of Image stabilization, Cinema cams like red or arri dont have any. But on the A7Siii u have great IS.

[@ReadySetGoPictures]

Yea black arm was optimized. Also, no stabilization in post, vs the Sony using IS in lens and sensor.

[@BloomfieldProductions]

@@ReadySetGoPictures my BMPCC4K footage looks like that with the crane 3s that kala has no excuse it was terrible

I think the Zhiyun even won a few times, depends on what style youre going for but this incredible!

[@justinroberts8815]

Dude, give me the handheld all day. Your shots were so much smoother. Their rig was so bouncy it didn’t matter that their rig could focus and pan more accurately. Keeping it smooth is much less distracting.

[@CalebBoender]

Their rig bounces like 3 feet up and down

[@ReadySetGoPictures]

Part of this is because the black arm did not look propel stabilized. Also, the post production side of it. Sony lenses have IS, red does not. Also, it doesn’t look like he even graded the red footage. Seems like the car was half built and the footage wasn’t adjusted in post.

[@BloomfieldProductions]

@@ReadySetGoPictures you keep defending kala lol it was balanced and I shoot with a bmpcc4k on a crane 3s no stabilization and it looks just like weebil THERES no excuses lol

[@ReadySetGoPictures]

​@@BloomfieldProductions congrats. Ive been a gimbal tech on blackarms, ronin 2, xl, movi and shotovers and can very much tell when the system isn't balanced. In the same way you could tell your crane 3 is off balance. So yes, there is an excuse - the fact that their system was off. So yea, the weebill looked smoother, but it wasn't because the weebill is a more capable platform lol.

@@antonsemenyura5337 definitely! Maybe using a Sony A1 instead of an A7S3 would have made the 3rd shot way better, in terms of AF.

Honestly when you got to the last parallel tracking, I was blown away that it looked THAT good. Tech has come so far and no one should have an excuse to not make it happen 😭 me included

minus the focus - which i wish i had a second attempt at. I think it could have been comparable.

[@quickmix-streammusic7019]

What I have noticed on this series is that as long as you know what you are doing, you can get a really professional looking footage. Like it'll get you 99% there, but that 1% makes all the difference when it comes to the big screen.

Those shots off the KALA rig have that big-budget feeling of groundedness, which adds TREMEMDOUSLY to the sense of speed and motion. There's some vibration & judder, but controlled, and it makes everything feel bigger and more excited. Super difficult to get that from a handheld system. Maybe in post?

So great to see something like this! I got into camera work in the first place to film/photograph actions sports. Love it!

[@pf4773]

A pro photographer made a great comment recently about these smaller portable gimbals, such as the Weebill s or 2: You can take any one of these gimbals, the Ronin, Zhuyn, etc. and they will all be similar. In order to run a fair test compared to the Hollywood gimbal you would need to shoot several of the consumer-level gimbals, not just the Weebill. But regardless, this test demonstrates how equipment has become so accessible to low budget filmmakers who can make a beautiful film with a Sony APSC camera, a mini 2 drone, and a weebill 2 gimbal, along with Sigma/Sony lenses, for under $3500, (no need to rent) and own the equipment forever. Especially even on big TV screens, this equipment will result in a highly competitive visual look. Important, of course, to have good audio---but again, that can be done inexpensively. As well, use the Mac's video editing package.

[@who2999]

I work at a local TV station and have shot several running footage spots with our storm chasing vehicles using a similar setup. Ronin S and a GH5, full manual focus. We did use a Chevy Colorado that I rigged up a safety harness for in the bed so we were able to get a lot more movement range than what you had in the jeep. The only complication we encountered was that at one point my driver jammed on the breaks too hard and slammed me into the tailgate cracking two of my ribs, since then we've added a suit of motocross body armor to the kit for this sort of thing. My one frustration is with the results is we did use a drone for one of the wide hero shots so now everyone assumes I shot the whole thing on the drone and asks me how I was able to fly the drone two inches off the other cars bumper >_

To be honest I like your framing much better for the first two tests. The footage from the RED is clearly better but dollar per dollar I would hire you
