- There are plenty of stabilizers out there. So what is special with the Wildcat Mark III steadicam?

Let's figure out in this video. You can get this steadycam here: bhpho.to/2nkh9JY
Five awesome things with the Wild Cat Mark III steadycam.
1. You can fold the legs to make it small and compact for traveling.
2. Since the legs create a triangle, you can place it on the ground without fearing that it will tip over.
3. You can adjust the handle to your prefered position.
4 You get an arm support with the product, which will make the whole setup feel easier.
5. You get a nice and practical bag with it.
So should you get yourself the Wild Cat mark III? Well, the answer is quite simple: If you want a good and affordable steadycam, this is it. Especially the aluminum version which can handle cameras up to 3kilos and which costs only 280 dollars. Just remember again that steadycams are harder to operate then gimbals, so you would need some practice. I believe that this steadycam is the perfect tool to practice and become the master of steadycam. Good luck!

goodness me, i like your video grading! they're balanced all around. i know how hard it is to keep it consistent, so i appreciate the effort.
I love how thorough you are!!! Great job, been watching for a long time!
Great find! I love the look of steadicams and find the mechanical nature of it to give me a lot of peace of mind; no chance of accidentally forgetting to charge it or getting a technical glitch that ruins a shoot.... especially when you film outdoors in wild locations like I do!
Love how straight to the point you are with this type of review.
You gained my sub!
Well done, your awesome skills as a steady cam operator got me. It's been almost a year since I originally saw this video post. I wanted it then but already had my crane gimbal which I use almost daily for my real estate work. Yesterday, the gimbal finally crapped out on me mid shoot and I realized I just screwed myself out of the day's shoot since I didn't have a back up so bought this as a mechanical backup to my shoots. I am really looking forward to practicing and learning this system (used your BHphoto link). Thanks!
I really enjoy your videos. Especially the calm music. Thanks!
The Andyax score never gets old on your videos
Throughly well made as always!! I love how you never push to create videos on a frequent and regular time schedule, it’s a nice change from a lot of other filmmaking youtubers I watch. It’s always an exciting event when the new Andyax comes out haha.
Also I bought the s60t steady cam a couple years ago on your recommendation from the video and have been very happy with it, but looks like this one would be a nice step up if I ever decided to upgrade!!
Thanks for you nice comment. As TH-cam is mainly a hobby for us, we do it when we have time. However, we want to upload regularly once a month and have set the 1st of each month as a goal. So stay tuned around that date :)
Yes, I also thought this could be a nice step up. I'll definitely continue using it with a heavy load, as that impressed me a lot. Just need to get myself an even better follow focus system and maybe wireless transmitter for a focus puller. Might make a video about that later for TH-cam or on the Patreon page :)
thank you for making these informative videos. they are made in a calm, genuine and likable way.
So happy to see a new video, from you guys! Keep it up
When I see your videos I just hit like then I watch. Sometimes I even comment on how awesome it was before i even watch the video. :) That's because I know it's a good video. Good job Anders!
As always amazing review and demonstration of the product
That split second where you contemplate on going the other way around the column, in the chase scene! My TH-cam expectations were convinced this would end badly.
I enjoy your videos and I have purchased based on your suggestions. Merry Christmas 🎄 and Happy New Year! 🎊
This music!! ❤️ Takes me back to early videos and gets me inspired about filmmaking again. You guys are the best!!
❤ when did you watch the first video? :)
Andyax About 3 years ago. I wish I could come to Norway to meet you guys, hit me up if you're ever in Minnesota!
That running scene has me sold....But then again, you must be a great operator as well.
I appreciate your hard work. Great video
Great video. I also love that backdrop!
For all of you who are looking for the melody on 4:35 it is Leave It to the Professionals by Arthur Benson
Your videos are so useful while still being fun to watch and beautiful. Thanks to them I will be getting the Yelangu, I was looking for a budget steadycam that would provide me decent quality on my moving shots and gave me enough practice before investing on a more professional one.
Do you also have a video on lenses? I am currently looking to buy new lenses for my 6D MII, thinking on give the Rokinon Cine lenses a try. Have you used any Rokinon's? Are there any particular lenses you love?
Thank you! I'm so happy I found your channel!
An early Xmas present, Anders is back - finally!
Thank you for not filming all of the shots in slow motion 😂 it’s nice to be able to see how the steadicam acts without the stabilization effect slow motion seems to add
Great review Anders 👌🏼
Love you guys nice to see you again
Adding additional stabilization in post will make it look even more smooth!
Very good - Thanks! Reminds me of XCam Sabre, also VERY good.
THANKS FOR SHARING THIS TIPS USING WILDCAT (watching here from Philippines) this is useful for my vlogging montage shoot
Sadly, the Wildcat III Aluminum version's stated support for up to 3 kg (6.6 lbs) turned out to be false. This steadicam will only support up to approximately 1.7 kg (3.75 lb). Anything heavier than that limit and you won't be able to conduct the drop test as the payload end will swing down even with all of the counterweights attached and the shaft fully extended. Great build with nice features but the shaft is too short and the counterweights that comes with the product is just not sufficient to support anything close to their stated claim. If you wish to support anything heavier, you need to do what Andyax did in this video by replacing the counterweights with heavy peripheral accessories like the Shogun Inferno monitor and outboard batteries.
for that price qith a good monitor and a vbattery the results are pretty good with cameras like eva or canon c200 c300 and maybe fs7. Its small enough and lighter to be easy to carry with you ind your backpack. In the video i don't know if they didn0t balance well the steady with gh5 but that shoots are not good, but the Eva setup is still nice and belanced, i don't know how it feels when you try to run with that camera.
Nice to see you back pal! I just loved the music you used, would you mind to show where to get them? Hugs from Mexico :)
Great video. Looks good for people on a tight budget.
So really awesome shots.
I use the Yelangu all the time to make my Cosplay Music Videos! Thanks for the recommendation! That Wildcat stabilizer looks solid!
I'm glad you are happy with the Yelangu
Why is this channel not 1 million . Hope it gets there soon..
00:06 "Stæbilizer", lol. Love your Norwegian accent, Anders!
As a real stedicam operator, i must say, it's much better then ANY! Gimbal. Gives you Much much! better overall control of your composition during moves.And you dont have to put so much effort into your walk to achieve silky smooth shots. i own the RONONs and Came TV 3 axis gimbals and don't even use them. You have to put to much mental energy into controlling your frameing and composition, which is very taxing on your overall shoot. These StediCams are much better and easier on you and actually deliver no Up & Down walking motion with nice smooth footage.
Thanx for posting.
Great video demonstration.
Thanks for the comment. A steadycam feels like an extension of your body, making you able to control it just the way you want. When you know how to use it, it feels so natural. That's why I love it :)
@@Andyax
I'm with you on that.
wOW, if they were really as good as you say then i would be able to make better footage with one! much w0w!
@@DigitalGenki
Yup!, You Can...
@@darrylsmith3102 wOw! nice! i want 1one!
I waited a long time for your new video😂
For how long? :) We uploaded a video a month ago as well! th-cam.com/video/obpIO_bNg_E/w-d-xo.html
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Fantastic !!!! AMAZING video!!!! BRILLIANT PRODUCTION.
thank you for the very useful knowledge
ayy your back, missed your videos man
Good review thanks, i see it's ok for 2nd hand to be lightly on pole guiding as your shots prove that..
I'm a long time gimbal user... I would like to try this product but found others a bit shaky on the orbit shots... your opening sequence filmed on the Eva is pure gold instead!
looks like organic shoot with steadycam 💥💥💥💥💥
Been a while !
Nice :)
I am curious about your autofocus settings on the GH5, could you share your settings used while shooting the scenes in this video? Always a pleasure to watch your videos! Thank you!
This is dope... When will this become avaliable, i’m a steady cam user, looking to upgrade my current setup, so this product is a must buy
I'll keep my Glidecam X-Pro, extra weight for extra stability, if you wanna mount GoPro for example, very compact, yet takes on up to 4,5 kg. Works perfectly well.
Bra video Anders! :-)
This probably sounds very wrong to most people...
@@dabj9546 it means good video Anders. It's norwegian...
amazing footage in the video
steadicam is still very pleasing to watch even with some of the warbles...except you you shooting scenes with an obvious horizon then a gimbal would usually win unless the steadicam operator is a professional like in tv or the movies. this is a pretty nifty device and a forgiving price. great demo video!
Great video :D
Where did you get that awesome misty forest backdrop from?
Nice video!! Thank you!!
I owned both and I can say that one must experience or at least learn from a steady cam first before electronic gimbals. Gimbals accentuate up and down movements of the user unlike steady cams. I miss using my chinese steady cam.
Thanks for all the positive feedback. The price is even lower now! :) You can get it here: bhpho.to/2nkh9JY
hi, is this stabilizer compatible with a nikon 5300 dslr? sorry for my stupid Q btw
is compatible with canon t3I?
Beautiful footage! You should seriously take a look at the new Ronin S
We missed you ❤
Yessss anders is back in the house !!!!😜❤
Great video!
I love watching your videos..
Wow, incamera stabilisation makes a huge difference.
My Inspiration 🙏
Great video , thank you for that, are you rotating/swaying left to right on purpose or its because the gh5 is lighter ?
This review is so entertaining haha.
Hey! Great video. What're your views on Flycam HD 3000?
Good job! Hello from Krasnoyarsk, siberia!
Спасибо, чувак! Неплохой обзор получился!
One of the biggest annoyances with cheap steadicams is the handle being so close to the post and sticking straight out then down, rather than the more professional angled handle that attaches to the steadicam arm. That Wildcat one seems to sort of hit a middle ground, but as long as they still stick a holdable handle on the end, I see no reason not to have the longer angled handle option to help when going at different angles.
A typo in the title, it should be 2018. Anyway, I made a few steadycams and finally bought one a few years back. It's a pain in the butt to balance it perfectly. With IBIS and light post-stabilization, you can achieve really nice smooth footage with a steadycam or gimbal.
Nice video! Makes me miss Oslo a bit :) I am considering this one for my Lumix GM1 and iPhone 11 pro. A) is it possible to mount the iphone with a normal mount? If so, I can also mount a phone. B) will both these be too light for the setup?
the Movo VS9 is the exact same thing, but $200. been using it for about a year now between travel and weddings and it works perfectly
VS7 or VS9? I checked the VS9 and it looks different.
amazing video
Could you do a small video on ways you usually hold a steadycam? I have read that you're supposed to keep fingers spread but below the bearing, never leave hands there it's more of a tapping gesture to correct shake, etc. However, it looks like you hold hands above the bearing and keep them there. You get some really buttery shots and it's amazing. Could you explain your method and why it works for you, or why you result to that method instead of the ones I mentioned above? Would help a ton, thanks!
You create some amazing shots with the steadiecam. But the way you rigged the cable from the Body to the monitor will destro the gimble because you always have an external force on it
Great video, quick question, whats the hdmi cable you're using? does it work with gh5 @10bit output to shogun?
hmm at 4.00
surely when you zoom , certain groups of elements inside the lens barrel are moving forwards and backwards , which would alter the balance regardless of whether the lens becomes shorter or longer externally???
nice videos man
I use the glidecam 4000 and you really need the length to balance your footage. Smaller works but not well
In 2021 I'm using a Came-tv h4 which is similar to the Wildcat. Came is superiror
Great video :) fortsett sånn
Hi, really a great informative video. I'm an instant fan. I have to ask (in hope of a response) Would the Wildcat fair well, with a phone (in a ulanzi rig with lense). I would have a powerbank, mic and light attached also. (If you do respond:) Thank you kindly in advance for your time and response!
Looks cool, but you still can’t (for me personally) beat the Glidecam HD2000, got mine from amazon warehouse deals sealed for £150. I know that was an insane deal but even used at £250 is a great deal for something that will last a lifetime.
Wooo ! What's the song of the intro? The melody is too awesome
RIP Eskild!
Why is it so jiggered at forest scenes? Why don't you use gh5S instead of gh5?
Thanks
Man, this video is treasure. Thanks a lot!
I wanna see "Best DSLR/Mirrorless cameras in 2019 (under 1000$).
Fuji XH1
Canon m50 or the 250D
@@ISRAADVISUALS I bought 800D in Janurary. But still thanks for the late answer.
@@Cineman3 800D has some many downsides lol
5:33 Did you just say with the Autofocus in the GH-5? 😂
Informative video, The name of background track at 8:30 please:) really like that
Great footage, you definitely know how to operate a steadicam.
Seeing your face.. It's happy brother.
Can someone please tell me where I can find the music from the hike shot. I need it. hahaha. It's so good!
Please Andyax,Panasonic S1 and S1r reviews 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
A M A Z I N G wildcat, i want one :O
The best steadycam for lumix gx80? I have yelongu s60t but the camera is too small..
Can we buy it in Norway or do we have to import it? I couldn't find anything store here in Norway that sells it.
Thanks for your review.
I like your past mobile camera reviews , can you do some camera reviews on new Nokia phones?
Great Video
Thanks :)
Hi, i have a question, i got this steady cam yulongo, but i cannot adjust the handle up or down. Can the handle or the gimbal can be adjusted up or down????
Do you think this work with Canon C200 + Sigma 18-35mm + SmallHD Focus?
I have the Fujifilm X-T3, wanna do some indie film making stuff / documentaries. Obviously the X-T3 lacks IBIS, do you think it would be too shaky if i were to use a stedicam? do you only recommend a steadycam for dslr's with IBIS? Otherwise ill get the Zhiyun crane plus gimbal. Thanks
Wildcat 3 vs Yelangu s60t you previously tested comments please?
I like the wildcat because its the most compact out of all the comparable options
