We had the same idea about doing video shoot on a Segway and this vid was excellent with Black Magic Tim's input and seeing the improved difference of shooting vid on Segway. When on the go and cant or dont want to wait around while Segway is charging... or out in the field and not able to plug into a power outlet and charge Segway Ninebot S/Mini/Plus/etc., having portable power inverter that attaches to power tool batteries is super handy and gives Segway a faster rate of charge that can give Segway another 12-20% of battery life depending on calibur of power tool battery. Our use of Segways as mobility devices for injured/disabled is limited to their battery life and places that have outlets to charge them, but packing portable power inverter to get a bit more charge when needed has increased our limitations.
I placed my order about three minutes into this video. Cheers! Incredibly informative for people that are interested in the MiniPro for filmmaking and even ENG or sports!
During the comparison....WOW! Huge difference, but the difference between the z-axis travel honestly was not nearly as bad as it could be. Here's the deal though...You're a f**king NINJA...The 'gimbal+boots' segment would have needed some serious Warp Stabilizer if those were my boots...the MiniPro is absolute genius in the hands of a practitioner such as yourself. Cheers!
Great comparison of foot vs. Segway -- you guys really explained, and demonstrated the pros/cons for both event shooting (i.e.: the parade) and cinematic shots.
This is deffinitelly one of the BEST combinations for filmmaking!!! You convince me, now I need to purchase a Segway miniPRO OR A NEW VERSION of it, which one would you recommend?
That was an amazing review and analysis! Tim, I think we might have been separated at birth and are gear twins aside from looking similar. I started using my Daughter’s Swagway hoverboard during shoots for all the reasons you mentioned but now I think I will have to upgrade to the Segway. The ReadyRig vest will be the next thing I get for weightless feel. Just subscribed and look forward to more of your content, Brother. 👊🏽
I also use my mini pro with my dji drone with follow me mode and you can have the sky camera footage .and link the shots in at edit . good video guys. nice.
Nothing better than holding a coffee and watching the camera, when the segway goes over a sidewalk heave and drops out from under you. No crash, just dropped two inches. Spilled coffee and had to edit out that camera movement. Watch out turning while reversing the segway. The stick steers the nose not the tail. It steers opposite the stick in reverse and will throw a rider.
So amazing to find this video… trying to decide between onewheel and segway…. Onewheel just seems dangerous and limited, esp indoors… not to mention harder to turn. Came for the video, stayed for the black creatives-let’s go!
Great video. Especially the A/B comparison at the end. Question: what firmware-version are you currently running on your minipro? There are different opinions about upgrading. Any problems with your system yet?
Thanks. All the Gimbal/Segway footage was captured with a Zeiss Distagon T* 15mm f/2.8. The BTS was shot on the GH4 using the Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8.
I just check out the two videos on your channel. Your Robot Board looks pretty cool. When you're ready, we'd love to give a test to see how it fits in a production workflow.
The Onewheel is an awesome vehicle. The speed and agility are great. We've found that the stability of a two-wheeled allows the operator to better focus on the shot rather than the terrain.
Why not get rid of the camera man? There should be a mini segway with a motorized center column and motorized ballhead that you can mount a camera or phone to. Then it can follow you around or be controlled remotely with VR/augmented reality. It replaces a tripod because it can stand still and move up and down to frame a shot. Or follow you for a live stream by keeping you in frame. Or doing a time-lapse while moving over terrain.
Probably the most underrated technical video I've watched on TH-cam!
It is SO great to find a review by someone who has spent four months with the equipment. Wonderful production.
Wow. Not even Segway could have made a promo video as effective as this one! I'm sold!

Great Explanation and Demonstration. I was really curious about the application of the unit. Great Job sir.
Fantastic presentation. Clear, cool, and well-spoken!
Thank you.

Really enjoyed this, not long bought a gimbal and this was something I was thinking about
damn. now I gotta get me one of these
+Tom Antos Yep. And you'll never have to walk again 😁
Tom Antos check us out too! Much more portable option

Just bought one because of this video. Amazing piece of equipment!!
Excellent work I'm sold!
Manuel Almonte check us out!

really enjoyed this video thank you. i'm going to grab one of these and use it with a ronin and a steadicam vest. can't wait!
Ramon Solorio check is out first! We'll be taking preorders soon. Do you need portability?
This is deffinitelly one of the BEST combinations for filmmaking!!!
You convince me, now I need to purchase a Segway miniPRO OR A NEW VERSION of it, which one would you recommend?
This was helpful even today. Hows everything today?
This is awesome, nice video and equipment!
Seriously sick shot on the minipro! Nice review!

Truly!!
Ive been looking for a video like this, I have a ronin and this was the missing piece. Great job, thanks...I also have a srt8 challenger too...lol.
NorthEast Ohio Real-Estate check is out too! Much more portable!
I also use my mini pro with my dji drone with follow me mode and you can have the sky camera footage .and link the shots in at edit . good video guys. nice.
Loved this video! Good job guys...!
Thanks, Ajmash!
Wow ... great use of the MiniPro!
Black Magic Tim is on fire with all those technical explanations, Seqway is sleeping

Great informative video, very thorough. Looking into buying one now!
You won't regret it.

Great info, even in 2020!
Very cool! Do you still use it?
Great video guys!
Is that the Production 4K? I love that camera.
I have 2000 miles on my Mini S w/speedhack.
Great video guys, loved it and learned lots.
Wow, thanks for this detailled review!!
Definitely going to get one now. Its like being a robocop filmmaker, genius.
Is this safer and eaiser to ride compare to onewheel?
Nice one guys
Thanks, Powerkast!
Great video. Especially the A/B comparison at the end. Question: what firmware-version are you currently running on your minipro? There are different opinions about upgrading. Any problems with your system yet?
Nicely done!
Great review...will the segway operate in reverse?
Yes. The Segway works equally well forward and in reverse.
Thanks man. Super useful.
Very innovative. Thanks for sharing.
Ok you guys had me with Tribute to Prince :)
Great job!
Thanks, Jeremey!
Great Video! I enjoyed it a lot, very informative and useful!
Excellent Video
Where did you purchase the vest???
sold
yeah, this is what i'm looking for
WHAT MM DID YOU USE WHEN FILMING?
You ever connect a camera to it and use the remote ? I'd like to get the long handle and mount my one handed gimbal to it. You think thatd work?
Hei, what is it the
vest for ronin?
Web Kiechu it’s a tactical vest by lowepro . It’s for photographers but retrofitted to hold the ronin. Check bhphoto for it
Have you ever operated a steadicam (NOT a gimbal) on it?
hehe... very cool but where did you get the vest...? I'd like to get one of those to help with the fatigue on my arms :-)
Awesome video works. What lens did you use for this?
Thanks. All the Gimbal/Segway footage was captured with a Zeiss Distagon T* 15mm f/2.8. The BTS was shot on the GH4 using the Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8.
where did u get the straps?
Nice 👍🏾
Subbed
That's actually not too terrible for running. You should see the Sony A6600 with the Sigma 16mm F1.4. It is terrible with just a tiny movement
this is awesome !!
Check our our product, the Wingman. It's a much more stable rideable for those that wouldn't feel comfortable on a Segway
I just check out the two videos on your channel. Your Robot Board looks pretty cool. When you're ready, we'd love to give a test to see how it fits in a production workflow.
Where are you based? We will have our prototype in LA on Aug 11-13
We're actually in Washington, DC. Let me know if you make out this way.
wondering if this guy got hipped to Onewheels..??
The Onewheel is an awesome vehicle. The speed and agility are great. We've found that the stability of a two-wheeled allows the operator to better focus on the shot rather than the terrain.
Tthe segway is a must have lol

once he fall its GAME OVER !!
Great video! Too bad I found it over two years later!
The miniPRO is the best option chek my demo video
Segway made this in collaboration with the Chinese company XiaoMi
this is that good sh.. feel like he should wear a helmet tho, some of his focus will be on the shot not where he's going

it's 400x2 not 800x2
So much needles talk and very little show. Fell asleep waiting for the true reason I clicked on this video.
shut up and take my money!
12 minute of speaking and showing last 3 min sucks man
Wow. Not even Segway could have made a promo video as effective as this one! I'm sold!
Foreal this is a seller
