you can actually get a third-party ND filter mount which you glue to the outer side of the lens and it fits even when the lens are retracted with no problem. There's a video for it on YT, there are 2 manufacturers who supply similar designs. You can get a polarizer too for it
Thank you to this channel; I have this exact setup...plus the ND filter from lensmate. Still trying to learn the Panasonic system and trying to slow down my Crane-M with it's crappy app.
Great review, I wanted to mention that is very easy to make your ND filter adapter. I made one last week and it looks great ahard to tell if it wasn't genuine. it cost me just under £5 . All I needed is a 49-52mm stepper ring double sided tape and some diy skills
I would also add a little tripod stand to screw into the base of the gimbal and the remote cable for your camera to plug into the gimbal. You can even use the Zhiyun Crane to do motion timelapse.
I was surprised you didn’t mention the a6500 or rx100 series. That is until I saw the price. That’s key to these small rigs. It makes the shooter less afraid of getting it into sticky situations to get the right shot. Thanks for the info, dudes! 👍
There are lots of alternative setups that are useful but this one is our favorite. In total this setup is less than 1000 USD so it's also cheaper than most other combos.
Hi. Enjoyed your video. So you pick this camera over g7x m2? I think you convinced me to buy this camera...great sale now. But do you have problems with dust in the lense? many are complaining about this condition in compact cameras nowadays. thank you
Not sure if you generally focus solely on video functionality and performance but I'd have liked to hear a bit about the stills performance and how fast/slow it is to write RAW files. My current Nikon P330 is glacial in this respect and am looking for an alternative, including this and the RX 100 iii.
If the subject is close enough you have few problems. If the background is contrasty and confusing the focus can drift sometimes. It's the same with any camera on auto-focus.
Nice review, do not forget to mention the lens flare. For the lx15 same as older lx100. Gives a flare in allot of mine footage, no solution Panasonic. Google for yourself before buying. Also using the same crane, using this combo in converted mode means that the gimbal is not perfectly aligned. It would be great to know how this is done in this video.
I've got a Sony RX100 II and I find the buttons to be small and maybe too cramped for my large hands. I think the main thing going against the LX10 and for the RX100 II is that the LX10 is thicker; a few mm makes a big difference when you want a pocketable camera. Other than that, I admit I'd probably be better off with LX10 but now that I've got the Sony, I have to happy with what I've got. I could still sell it for about 300 and get at least some of my money back. I really regret not getting a 4k camera. But at least I know that Sony has great sensor characteristics such as dynamic range and color.
I have issues with the ON/OFF switch on the LX15 (LX10), which is badly located. It often activates by accident when packed in a small case in my pocket.
the manual only says the crane M supports camera control with the following: GH4, Sony RX series, H series, QX series and all ILDCs. I have the LX 10 and crane M.
Good video. Just curious how did you managed to get daylight shots without a ND filter - cranked up the shutter speed? And the 1080p60 quality of the LX10 (for slow motion), is it good? (I have the LX100 and the GX85 and their 1080p60 modes are not good)
Not having a microphone input can be a huge issue if you need to capture proper audio which is something that we don't rely on with those kind of point-and-shoot models.
Thank you for your reply. I totally agree. Was thinking of vlogging with this setup but the microphone is a big issue. Following you since many years with great pleasure, thank you for all the effort you put in your videos.
Sony does have the over heating problem, I cover long events where it would fail but for short film type shots, even an RX100 mark 3 or 4 would be very good. But personally I would just get the G80 from Panasonic at that price and if you want point and shoot also get the GX85.
Hi! Does zooming in/out change the balance of the gimbal, as the lense is going in/out from the camera? Am I right that some of these shots were either stabilized in post or you used a different equipment like slider or jib? When using such a small gimbal, there is always a bit of "wobbling" coming from your arms - the footage is stabilized, but the foreground would wobble a bit. It was "unnaturally" stable at some of your shots (at 2'07" or 3'15" for example).
Anyone owning that camera had a trouble with the sound the camera makes? It sounds like a ventilation from the inside. Only when the lens is out. Some says the noise comes from the stabilisation or autofocus, but it sounds very noisy to be just that? I just got that camera and I've had an hybrid one for years without any sound like that. I might sound dumb but I'd really like to know if it is a normal thing. x
You can watch the whole video "Bali in 4K" here: fenchel-janisch.com/small-camera-setup
hi there! what software did you use for editing the lx100 and lx10 videos?
Video is "private" now, which is a shame because it was nice 🙂
Finally someone mentioning this little beast! Got it since 5-6 months and I fucking love it!
Same for me, I use this much more than my big camera. So good and compact. Love it
With LX10, you can mount ND or polarizer filter with adapter by Lensmate (52mm) or Magfilter (52 or 55mm).
Bingo
Such beautiful shots with a low budget setup. Keep up the great work.
Great video as always. That's the kind of setup I want.

Im still using this set up. Great results for such a budget set up.
Awesome!

1) You can install ND filters with an adapter
2) You can use Cinelike D and Cinelike V with a very easy hack
Very helpful
And using LX100 now
Awesome video
im really like your bali scene :D
Bali 😍
Wow emezing

I have this set-up and It's brilliant.
David Stuckey - David can you track a person walking in reasonable lighting using the AF.

thanks for filming BALI..
btw, the end part makes me LOL :D :D :D
Sieht tatsächlich nach nem sehr interessanten setup aus 👌
So what would be your best camera for travel setup? this or some sony, fuji, canon ???
Hi can you please do a video with LG v30
Hi, great Video! Could you please tell me the title of the song you used in the first parts of the video? Thx a lot!
Thank you for your Video however Great 👍 Dirk
Amazing Video
What type of camera bag were you using in the video?
I see the Zhiyun Crane M is no longer available. Is there anything else small that is similar to the M model?
Should I buy the LX10 or the LX100?
Cool video
you haven't mentioned the the biggest negative points is the crop to 36mm equivalent in 4k also the incredibly slow boot up time and record.
You can use an nd filter with a filter adapter kit like Magfilter or something.
Yes, saw one on Amazon the other day but didn't knew that before unfortunately.

Well don't buy it then. STFU 🙄
Does anyone know if the Crane M camera cable can control start/stop record and zoom on the LX10?
the manual only says the crane M supports camera control with the following: GH4, Sony RX series, H series, QX series and all ILDCs.
I have the LX 10 and crane M.
Good video. Just curious how did you managed to get daylight shots without a ND filter - cranked up the shutter speed? And the 1080p60 quality of the LX10 (for slow motion), is it good? (I have the LX100 and the GX85 and their 1080p60 modes are not good)
Turns out there are magnetic filters for those point-and-shoot cameras so that's something we will check out.
what is the tripod in the thumbnail?
but the lx10 has a 1inch sensor whil;e the lx100 is a m43 sensor (atleast that's what I thought)
Thank you for the useful information. I am having a Crane M and a G7X MII, I just don't like that I don't have an external mic input.
Not having a microphone input can be a huge issue if you need to capture proper audio which is something that we don't rely on with those kind of point-and-shoot models.
Thank you for your reply. I totally agree. Was thinking of vlogging with this setup but the microphone is a big issue. Following you since many years with great pleasure, thank you for all the effort you put in your videos.
Indonesia?
I wouldn´t say "no way" for ND... there is! (maybe not at the date of publishing this video)
Lx10 ot zs100 for long exposure shot at nights ?
The ending! Lol!!
Nice. Thanks. How do you prevent up and down bouncing when walking with the gimbal?
Probably it's not calibrated properly or the camera is too heavy or too lightweight.
I just picked up one of these cameras second hand and you can put on a ND filter via a mag filter
I have a canon g7x Mark 1 and I cannot decide to buy this crane thing or a DJI OSMO +. What do you suggest?
G7x cannot record 4K but DJI OSMO + can. This is one big advantage I guess?
ND filters are available for LX10….52mm MAGFILTER
Cool, but just cheeking the rest of your videos and i see 'our favorite 4k travel camera', the sony).
Is this still your travel set-up
Great video! That camera seems to have been beaten up by its owners! Haha!!
😱
What about the Sony rx-100 mk5
made in china, avoid, buy g7x mark ii instead, totally made in japan
Mostly the price. The Sony is 950 USD and the Panasonic 600 USD.
I think with your quality you should just try out the G80 or G85. With 12-35 F2.8
Sony does have the over heating problem, I cover long events where it would fail but for short film type shots, even an RX100 mark 3 or 4 would be very good. But personally I would just get the G80 from Panasonic at that price and if you want point and shoot also get the GX85.
Its lx10/15 great camera but rx100 m4 $698 high frame rate hd, and picture profile is worth the $100
Is that Bali, Indonesia?
yes !
yes, it is BALI
ziyun crane durability
You could have told me this was filmed with a Sony A7S II and I would have believed you :)
lx10 or lx100 beter for vedio!
Nice shot,
.
and btw i come from Indonesia 😂
Nyasar gw bro
How much for this one?
Around 1000 USD.
How did you get the night footage 2:30 so noise-free? I’ve used the same camera and struggled with noise in low light

which tripod you use @ 0:41 for the CRANE-M ?
Mensch Jungs, ich hätte echt gedacht, dass es sich um die Sony RX100 Mark V handelt, ist aber doch die Lumix :-)
3rd like😆❤
:)

x
you two actually make some films or just adore cameras==???
Both.
This or rx100…?
Why not rx100
maybe overheating issues in rx100 and the small arpeture of LX10 make this camera a better choice
This is cheaper
