Anamorphic and Steadicam

[keessie65]

I can't find a post so quickly about this item, so perhaps discussed earlier... Does anyone has experience with anamorphic and steadicam together? I have a Pilotfly H1 and I consider buying a stronger one like Beholder EC1. The H1 is perfect for my NX1 and PZ16-50mm, but not for an extra Bolex 16/32 lens. Anyone?

you will most definitely have challenges to balance camera with anamorphic adapter on a handheld gimbal like H1 or similar;

i own Pilotfly H2, pretty strong unit with the max load up to almost 5Lb, but due to a limited space on the back of the camera i think main challenge would be to use counterbalance weights, and without that it'll be impossible to achieve proper balance. (unless pancake lens and really small adapter, like baby hypergonar are used)

Larger gimbals don't have that limitation, but that's two hands operation.

How (sharp/character/flare) is the MIR37+Kowa combo?
