No I don't think they have released it yet, its a crowd funding project. 29 minutes ago, Rinad Amir said: Can you please tell us more @Mattias Burling how its on field compared to other gymbals Dont have to worry about batteries. Its not as versatile as a gimbal, can't turn it upside down. But for 99% of all the shots I would use a gimbal for it works just fine. No jitters like my Moza Air get from time to time. 26 minutes ago, thebrothersthre3 said: Is it basically a steadicam or completely different? Its kinda like a glidecam but not as annoying to get steady. Easier to use imo. thephoenix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as good as a full steadycam rig or the best gimbals. But imo better than any Glidecam I've seen. 5 minutes ago, thephoenix said: how did you get it if i may ask ? as i know a few people asking to test it but they were answered that no sample was available.

Snowfun Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Reassuring that Mattias has positive things to say. I’ve backed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 It looks really cool and I was going to back it but all of the $199 offers were sold out and I don’t know if I really want to pay more than that for it. But I do like the design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanWright Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 seems like a fantastic concept but the payload is to low for what I wanna run on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightsFan Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 2 hours ago, Mattias Burling said: imo better than any Glidecam I've seen Better how? You mentioned easier to balance, is it easier to keep it balanced when in use, and on which axes? How easy is it to pan, tilt, or do canted angles? It looks like a very interesting concept with a lot of potential. 45 minutes ago, JordanWright said: seems like a fantastic concept but the payload is to low for what I wanna run on it. Yeah, its way too little payload for me, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thephoenix Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 if this one sells well i imagine a V2 coming next with bigger payload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightsFan Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Overall, it looks excellent. I'm impressed by the fact that someone had this idea, and made it into a competitive stabilizer for a competitive price. But I do have a few concerns. 1. there seems to be lag between panning with your arms, and the camera panning 2. The footage looks like it has less of a level horizon than I get with my glidecam (and I'm not an expert at a glidecam). Maybe the problem is that you can only hold it in front, meaning you have to sidestep for X axis movement (e.g. dog shot at 3:41). 3. 3D printed parts... that will have to change if they make a bigger version for heavier cameras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I just like the idea of a two handed steadicam. I’ve been looking for info on the Flopod for the past week or so for the same reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
