- Get the film look with the affordable steadicam stabilizer Yelangu s60t.
Learn how to film yourself and others with our brand new course: andyax.com/course/
Get the Yelangu s60t here: bhpho.to/2neeaTE
You get the steadycam in a small bag together with a manual, a hex key and some extra weights. It's made out of carbon fiber, and weights only 800 grams without the weights.
The key elements of a good steadicam is the three axis gimbal with the yaw axis, pitch axis, and roll axis, the option to adjust the camera back and forth and side to side, adding weights and adjusting it up and down. The Yelangu s60t have it all, and it's easy to adjust.
The Yelangu s60t can handle cameras up to 3kg, so DSLRs are perfect. If you are using DSLR cameras or smaller, and do take care of your equipment while traveling, the Yelangu a60t is exactly the product you need. Actually it’s cheaper then to build one yourself.
UPDATE: I bought mine at the IBC exhibition in Amsterdam September 2015 for $50. The price may vary from place to place, so be sure to do some research before buying :)
Here is the most trustworthy place to buy it: bhpho.to/2neeaTE

this is the most put together video in all of youtube
Yooo, poudii on this video wtf
Zyklos wtf i was thinking the same thing lmao
Still a better romance than twilight
lol
exactly!
I was obsessed with Steadicam when I learned about it at a filmmaking camp in 1996 when I was 16. Years later I was working as a Specialist at an Apple Store and Garrett Brown walked in. I didn't know it was him at first - but he looked so familiar. When I was running the sale for him I asked for his last name to enter in payment. As soon as he said "Brown" I looked up with wide eyed and asked "Are you *Garrett* Brown?" He was! And we talked a bit about steadicam and how freaking excited I was to meet him. He was so nice! So awesome!
MagnumDB that’s so such a cool story
S Tra i died laughing from this
@S Tra 😂 and pretty cool story Magnum
Can you make a good living at the Apple Store? Considering it.
I like the fact that you took a shot that would be pretty common in a narrative film, and had people of different skill levels try it.
6:01 "I'm not gonna turn and look at him that would be to obvious, I will just turn my camera 360 over my should and take a picture of him because that won't be suspicious at all"
You do more than just a review. You do the whole thing, in and out. Perfect video.
Here is a tip for Gh4 users: As you may know the Panasonic Gh4 isn't the best when it comes to low light, as it makes a lot of noise with high ISO. By combining the Sigma 18-35mm with aperture 1.8 and the Metabones speedbooster, you can film with aperture f1.2, which helps a lot. But that's not all: You probably know that shooting with shutterspeed 1/50 or 1/48 (depending on the framerate) gives you the best filmatic look. But if you struggle with dark shots and high ISO, try lowering the shutterspeed to 1/40 or 1/30. Actually I shot the tracking shot at 5:24 with shutterspeed 1/30. The reason for why I think it worked ok for that shot, is that the camera didn't wiggle that much (creating motion blur). So when you got aperture f1.2, shutterspeed 1/30 and ISO 800, you can shoot ok video even in low light :) But remember to avoid to much movement with the camera as 1/30 creates a lot more motion blur then 1/50. Good luck!
+Andyax I have a question for you. I do urban exploration videos (abandoned houses) and im looking to buy a dslr no more than $700 preferably. I was thinking a T3i because its really cheap but it seems like unless u buy an aftermarket lens the footage looks like shit. I dont know the most about cameras but and help would be greatly appreciated. (also it has to film at least 1080p30fps min) Thanks!
+EDL Exploration the any t series camera with a sigma 17-50 2.8 is a pretty good setup for cheap
+scottyandthefenders Only thing is those are like $400 in canada where i live. How would this do just left how it is out of the box? www.amazon.ca/Canon-Rebel-18MP-Camera-18-55mm/dp/B00IJW024U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1459373929&sr=8-2&keywords=t3i aslo, how dose a T5 stack up to for example a $750 T5i? Thanks
+EDL Exploration It the same thing as the Newer 24"\60.

+Andyax Is this the same thing? www.lightinthebox.com/professional-0-6m-carbon-fiber-hand-held-video-camera-stabilizer-china_p4498044.html?prm=1.2.1.0 Looks the same..
The part where he took a picture behind him to see who's following him made me laugh so much. That is way more obvious than turning around xD lol But anyways, thanks for the tips. This is really helpful
DominicanMerida instead of alert the people following u it much better take pic like dat
I'm watching this a little high on some funny stuff in my cigarette and am laughing at the whole thing
watching this in 2021 and remembering Eskild is no more with us gives me chills 🥺. He was such a passionate soul when it comes to filming
Hmm. The weights at the bottom should be farther from the axis, or you'll get all kinds of spin. Too bad you can't adjust them. A couple extra inches would do wonders, as my girlfriend likes to say.
Thanks for the tip (no pun intended) man, i was wondering why my camera was still spinnin like a beyblade
Closer to the shaft ( ---O-I-O--- ) or further ( O----I----O )?
further
couldnt you add extensions (to any product, not just s60t)? i saw another video where magnets were used & could be rotated in such a way to provide fine balance adjustments instead of adjusting the camera holding plate
Teehee😂
I got this a little over a month ago from Amazon and I love it. I am so glad there are people out there like this guy who are creating much more affordable yet still great quality equipment for us beginners. I have not had any issues with it yet and do not foresee any unless it is the result of my own actions. Thanks so much.
Most of the videos on Steadicam only talk about how to balance them and some accounts take examples. But you showed us a complete film with multiple types of shots and how one could handle it based on experience. Very good video
Omg I haven't watched your videos in ages I've missed you!!!
I love when you guys are in each others videos or in the same shot :) Thank you for both of you for your extremely useful videos! I've learned a lot since I found you a couple of months ago ☺️👌
To* both of you
yu also got get great videos
a subscribe from me
For those who have a digital camera like me (Sony a5000 or higher) Its easier to drop the stick all the way down and use one small weight, unless your lens are huge and heavy. I have a sony a5000 right now with a 35 mm lens. i have one weight in the back and I pushed the camera a little forward to balance it. So far, works really well. Thxxx. :)
finally a video with actual subject following footage. about to buy now.
Excellent video man! I recently starter a project where I shoot small clips of cool areas around my city and I definitely wanted to look into a camera stabilizer to make my shots a bit more professional looking. I am now convinced that I should buy myself one of these steady cams!
Adrian Larios what did you decide
Of all the camera stabilizer TH-cam tutorials out there, this is by far the best. I too tried my hand at making one of these. The gimbal wasn't all that hard to make, but balancing is really the key to success. Trying to fabricate all the necessary mechanisms to accomplish that is what makes it much more than a weekend DIY project. With ready-made devices such as this one for under $50, it doesn't make sense to go it on your own.
few minutes of watching makes me feel like i'm in heaven.
nice background music lol
wow, just awesome. never enjoyed a camera review like this. it's so amazing how you made that little story looked so cinematic.
That was the most wholesome steadycam tutorial video I've ever seen :D You and your friends are adorable. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing! ^_^
Cool video man. Very informative, creative and overall fun to watch while getting all my questions answered.
ayyy Hooman, I've seen your videos
Amazing review and great way to introduce the idea of the patience and growth required to use a stabilizer effectively. This video was wonderfully conceived. 👌🏽
Finally putting my stabilizer to use and this by far helped me within 13 minutes! Thank you! Greetings from America! :)
Just ordered one of these in 2018 to put my GH5s on. I had to choose between a new drone and a gimbal and I picked drone. That meant I had to get something to smooth out my new non IBIS camera. Thank you Andyax for all the great videos over the years to help me choose gear.
wow this is amazing.... made me feel like I can buy this and make a hit movie .
8:56 That smoothness :O
The best video on the stedicam that I have seen on youtube. I finally got mine done right now and it works great, thanks.
I would give my biggest thumbs up to every single video of your channel. Your tutorial make me chasing my dream!
i would have liked to see how you held it in comparison to the other two to achieve what is clearly the best footage
I end up watching your videos from evening till the early morning. Amazing channel. Thanks for sharing.
That's great! But don't forget to sleep. The videos will still be there ;)
Love you guys! You explain stuff in such a simple way it's really easy for people who dont have the professional experience to understand the basics! God Bless!
Wow, a really high quality video! And I thought it would end at 9:35, but you even got a comparison with different camera operators. I'm really impressed, maybe I'll subscribe.
Thanks for the video. An upgrade that I found to be worthy is to replace the plastic fasteners with steel pipe fasteners or bike saddle fasteners with a quick release. They are dirt cheap and last way longer than the plastic ones provided with the steadycam!Amazing channel btw, keep up the good work!

Best tutorial on this product... ✌️
This is the BEST review I've ever seen. I'm subscribed, and a devoted follower of your videos. Keep up the fantastic work!
I like that you promote, Producer Thomas, it made my respect gain for this channel, since it means you are a nice person.
But can this steadicam stabilizer stabilize my life?
@FRISHR Try Movi Freefly ;)
😎
Hi. I am also interested.
No because you're a piece of shit.
Dental Lab Not funny, didnt laugh
Tk for your very clean video. 😋
i saw this video like a year ago, got a steadicam, and came back to the video today. Thanks for the help!
Beautifully rendered presentation, Andyax👍
Well done! Always glad to be here!
More power to your channel, Friend! 🥰
All the best 💎
5:33 That moment when a DSLM makes a click sound and you question the laws of physics for a second
I don't know if I should laugh or cry!
In my country it costs more than RS. 20,000, which is more than $300!
I could buy another entry-level dslr with that amount of money!
Haina hola 😂
My first “steady” system was using a tripod with one leg slightly extended and my camera bag suspended from it for counterbalance. I held it with two fingers just below the camera mount and it worked ok. My second was a monopod half extended with my wife’s ankle weights wrapped at the bottom. Much smoother with the cylindrical foam hand area to manipulate as well as absorbing the more rough movements from my finger manipulation. I tried a diy using multiple hinges on a wooden frame, but it didn’t come out nearly a nice as your prototype shown here. Great video! I love your experimental movie. 😇
This is the First video of yours I've watched; Subscribed with Alerts On. I watched the video all the way through without skipping or pausing. Thanks for the video presentation!
"measure the time it takes "
"this is a bit too fast"
nice science bro hahaha awesome video!
Got mine from the sunsky site with no issues!
Great review, just purchased one and arrived in a couple of days. Wouldn't have found it without this review, thanks!
Just got mine today. I will post some test footage later. I love this thing.. I am so glad I ran across this video.. I saw the views and was like, ok, this dude is good.. Thank you for doing this video.
Your videos are the best! One question I have is how did you keep your subject in focus since the gh4 autofocus isn't the best!?
Manual focus probably
This is an incredible review! Love the little jokes in the demonstration shots. Thanks for sharing!
This was an excellent video! I came here just to see what the steadicam looked like and you took it nek level.. Well done!
Definitely one of the best reviews of the steady cam I've seen!
Hey, amazing review! I will definitely get one of those for sure!
I was wondering how you make the text animation? Your name and job title pop up - how do you do that?
Do you have a video explaining how to maintained video focus for this film with the steady cam?
With a steady cam you’re more likely to be using a wide-angle lens. The wide-angle doesn’t blur out the foreground or background completely like a more regular lens.
@@cameronschmit6472 or lower the aperture
Very amazing guide Andreas.. thank u... ur voice gives the positive vibrations
Finally bought this and I love it!! Thanks Anders, you are the man!
Hi Andyax, I'm wondering what did you do post editing to make the video have that movie look because I can see that the video from the camera that shoots the behind the scenes has that more home video look while the video from your movie has that professional movie look.
Jason Yeoh color correction in adobe premiere
Hello Andy, how did you adjust the color of your video? It looks very nice and comfortable to watch.
+Joe Lee I know im not Andy, but he properly used some color correction in a video editing program, or something like that :)
Saboz No worries. Even if you're not Andy, I am sure you can do just good as well. =) Cheers.
I really appreciate how yo uhave people with no experience film so we can see all the differences
Eskild... I still can't believe you are gone. Such good friends you had. 🙏
please make a tutorial on color grading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Shreyas Vaishnav Yeah I would like to see that too.
+Shreyas Vaishnav Find a company that sells it, and send him one, and he will for sure make the promotion of it. ;-)
Sarcasm aside, it's a nice video, and very nice to do that on a cheap glidecam.
Behold filmmakers! I shall sacrifice my belongings seeking the s60t for your convenience!...No but seriously I'll try to get it from the link provided by Andyax and I'll keep you posted.
+F9000LIi Good luck sir! I'm interested in how it goes :)
+F9000LIi Hehe, you are a true hero! :D Thank's for helping out.
+Andyax +Original Name +Paul Blackmore A quick update just ordered it yesterday costs in total 77$. Once it arrives I'll inform you.
+Original Name +Andyax +Paul Blackmore Good news guys i just received it yesterday exactly what Andreas showed in the video and it's just awesome! I use with my A7 and the movcam cage and it's a charm! So the link is trust worthy.
+F9000LIi Great, thanks for helping out! :)
Super helpful! Thank you for taking the time to make this!
THANK YOU!!! Bought my Neewer stabilizer 2nd hand so no manual. Didn't know HOW important its calibration is!
Nice Video...do you use LUTS in your editing?
Frank Lyles yup
does the quick release plate manfrotto compatible? That is all I want to know. because I want be able to switch from tripod/monopod to this very quickly.
Did you find out if the quick release plate is manfrotto?
Came here to watch a review of the Yelangu s60t, got more. The short film was great.
I watch your videos from Mexico City and love them. Thanks for the great insights.

Hi, i want to do some shots while skiing. Has someone some experience with any manual stabilizer while skiing? Thanks.
@@sdvisuals3266 Obviously. Different times then 😁
This video remind me of glidecam 2000. I have one back in 2006. Tq for bringing back memories.
I loved this. Great explanation and I loved the mini film. You guys look like fun.
Please inform me if I'm being stupid. My only excuse is that I'm a photographer, not a film maker. I also know the video is about the steadycam, but my question is about the test footage. How do you keep such sharp focus on a moving subject. I didn't see him go anywhere near the focus ring or have a follow focus attached to the lens. How? is there some magical continuous AF mode that I don't know about? Please help.
Hey, i was just thinking that, how does it stay focused ???
Please help
Hey that's my question as well. Is there anybody help us? Please,...
It seems no one gonna help us!
Maybe if we make this thread really long they'll notice...eventually !
Hey @Andyax, have you used any other stabilisers to compare this one to?
Thanks.
I got myself this very stabilizer and I must say I am very impressed!!
Very informative and entertaining video! I'm glad I found your channel.
Keep up the great work.
I just have to ask this... How the hell do you focus with a gimbal? It clearly can't be done manually, because touching the camera would put gimbal out of it's horizontal position... Does this mean, you are at the mercy of autofocus?
Žiga Lausegger tracking focus maybe I was wondering this to?
You have to adjust the aperture so that the focus range is bigger.
I guess you've gotta shoot in hyperfocal and not touch it again until you're finished. Also not use autofocus or you may hear some bips during the shoot, so manual!
He may have used wireless follow focus system. Or higher no of aperture and same distance to the subject in all scenes to keep it in focus!
Would a 18-105 mm lens be too heavy for this steadicam?
zjapp I think the max weight is listed as 3000g
@S Tra 🤣🤣🤣
Great vid Andyax! Thanks for this! I am going to buy the steadicam because of your helpful video! Thank you!
Cleanest idea, explanations and edit i've seen in a looong time!
I got this steadicam for use in wedding, promotional, etc. It is not the very ideal steadicam. There is a long balance time and it's not very smooth as I expect even with good operating. Also it becomes very heavy with a DSLR and a wide angle zoom.
Sorry you spent money on it but thanks for the hands-on review!
EDIT (13feb2018): Sunsky chose to change the product I linked to, to their own steadycam which is a copycat of the one in this video. That's not acceptable, so I have removed the link. The only trustworthy site to buy the Yelangu S60t from now, as I know of, is BHphotovideo: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1350086-REG/yelangu_s60t_handheld_stabilizer.html/BI/20363/KBID/15164/kw/YES60T/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xYES60T

Now he commented that he had received it and was very happy. So thanks for helping out F9000LIi :) It costs $66 + shipping from this site.
+Andyax Is there any Europe shipping friendly alternative? Shipping it to Spain makes it almost 100€ haha
+Andyax I bought 10 pieces from that site and they (after all the costums) finally arrived! So if anyone is interrested in bying one with cheaper shipping, I'm selling 9 from germany ;)
The point of bying 10 was actually to get down the price of shipping and I think the steadicams got cheaper, too. So now I'm probably going to sell the others on ebay.
+Daniel Troger I am interested! What would you ask for it including shipping to Netherlands?
+Daniel Troger i would like to buy one piece , could you contact me please ?

Don't search this brand, it's a generic product with everyone's name on it. I found it for 60 on eBay in the U.S.
+SpeckyNation Hi. Looks like the price varies a lot from place to place. As I commented above: "That's strange. I bought it at the IBC Expedition in Amsterdam, as mentioned in the video. There I had a conversation with the guys at Yelangu which had several types of steadicams and this one was one of the cheapest with a price tag of 50$. I was so impressed and thought I would make a video about it some day, since it was that cheap. This was back in September, and looks like they have increased the price now (so typical!). I will add a note to the video about it, however looks like the price is still very good. Here it is for $66, but how trustworthy is the site? www.sunsky-online.com/view/412363/YELANGU%20S60T%2060cm%20Carbon%20Fiber%20Handheld%20Stabilizer%20for%20DSLR%20Camera%20DV%20Black%20.htm"

+haljen og thorstein what happened?
+haljen og thorstein That's strange. I've only received positive feedback from people ordering from that store. That's why I shared it.
except shipping is 30 bucks
can i know if your steadicam still alive and usable till today? or it doesn't last?
Hey can i ask? what do you think if im used sony a6300+yelangu s60t+adapter lens+nikkor ais 35mm, It can be stable or not? what do you think.. i want buy yelangu s60t but i dont have cage camera for a6300 so it makes me confused if i buy yelangu s60t :( because sony a6300 is mirorrless and yeaah its too light right?
Just purchased a Neewer aluminum stabilizer very similar to the s60t and also $50 but I got it used on amazon for $36. Freakin amazing little stabilizer. Buttery smooth
this is by farrrr the best video on this subject, wow
is now $89.99.
i swear sometimes companies figure out their worth through social media etc and bump their prices. cant say i blame them, still probably worth the $90 as long as they fixed the wonky piece that seems to break
thats still not bad. do u have a link?
I have this stabilizer and I'm struggling to get as smooth footage as you. The camera appears to be balanced properly, 2-3 second drop time, completely horizontal but it still shows tiny jerking motions from my hand and is prone to swinging. It seems stiff whenever it needs to either compensate for panning or when I want to intentionally pan the camera. Do anyone have suggestions in what I might be doing wrong?
Setup is Canon 70d with either the 50mm 1.8 or 24mm 2.8, no mounted microphone.
It takes a lot of practice and a few takes to get nice steady shots. Camera needs to be balanced really well and I like a bit more ballast weight (a quicker drop time, about 1 second) to compensate for roll. I have learned to be very conservative with the movements, and for only short durations.
Tertio E I’m thinking electronic would be better. I have a smooth q that I’m gone try to modify.
Hi Andryx, loved the way you explained everything, really appreciate your effort, hope i can get more tips from you!!
Greetings from Canada! I LOVE YOU! Thank you for making this. You guys are so funny!
Will this work on a canon 80D?
DeurysMusic I just got mine today around 12pm, I’ve been trying to adjust to balance it out and currently it is 3:30pm and I’m still having problems with it.
Can I buy attachment/holder for iPhone 7 Plus and use it with this steadycam?
Loved your short film! You guys are really talented!!
