Darren Shroeger Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I am considering these two options for walking footage. I already own an LX100, and am happy with the footage it produces (also shoot a GH4+Sigma 18-35/Speedbooster) and the MS1 seems well liked. However the Osmo is newer tech and has a LOG profile. Also the 4th axis steadicam-like option is appealing for stabilizing the up down movement in walking footage. Thoughts, experiences, recommendations? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Shroeger Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 It would be the standard Osmo X3. I've decided to go with the Beholder MS1 v2 to use with my LX100 IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 X5r is insanely expensive, but I would prefer it (but at that cost... ?? Nope! Better other options). If you mean the X3 though as it appears.... nope nope, rather stick with the LX100. Plus the other gimbal is more versatile and you can use it with other cameras too than the LX100.

jase Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 However be prepared that it is not plug and play. I got my MS1 and although perfectly balancing it before starting the gimbals helps a lot, i still will have to spend some hours in fine tuning akward PID settings. Other people told me that and I was like "cant be that hard" - well it is. Only consider those devices if you have time to set them up.

Darren Shroeger Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 I find that the MS1 works fine with the powered-up LX100 "pre-balanced" before powering up the gimbal. Today I have my first real shoot with it, will report back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
