webrunner5 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Yeah I don't see how a person can not get one if you are in the market for a Gimbal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpais Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 A neat trick you can do with these gimbals is what I guess goes by the name of the Kubrick zoom. (@ around the 3 minute mark). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Vertigo zoom of course (as they say in the video). Brandon Li uses it a lot in Hong Kong Strong, only there he zooms out digitally, resizing a UHD image to 1080. You *could* name the rotation around the zero anchor point (around 1'20") a 2001 shot ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axel Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Well, it should be called a gimbal zoom then, shouldn't it. As John Hess knows, there are different names: Since the first use of the effect, in Vertigo, was achieved by foreground, center (not moving) and background layers of the staircase with a multiplane camera and so strictly speaking was neither a travelling nor a zoom, I find it appropriate to use that name, Vertigo.

Although....at the end of the day, if you have an extra operator, the MoVI with all the FIZ control is going to be better. The Ronin-S is a Z Crane killer. Expand Yeah as expected. This will not replace even the ronin 2 or the original ronin let alone the movi. Im buying the ronin s next to the original ronin which I still use to fly heavy setups. And the ronin s for some more event type shooting with the pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will still use a MoVI Pro for bigger setups, but for everyday use, especially if you are a single operator, the Ronin-S is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I wouldn't recommend it, and neither would DJI...its not rated as being "weather proof" however.....if you get a little splash on it or a bit of rain, I don't think it'll ruin it!

Expand Just bought a Crane Plus. Holds an A7III easily and weight HALF of the DJI. 2 pounds less ! this is enormous. I would never get the DJI even for free just for the weight. Let me precise that 80% of my camera use is away from home or in the mountain where weight counts a lot. If I were to fly a 1DX for work project then yes the DJI makes sense. jonpais 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Olympus EM1 mk II can. Well not for every move, but you know I find Gimbal shots really sort of boring as hell. That flying look is hokey as heck for extended times.They are too good in a sense.

Particularly if the operator tries to show off, it gets boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
