Administrators Andrew Reid Posted August 22, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'd recommend a zoom which moves some small element internally, if you're using a stabiliser. Most zooms really do push out not just the glass to the front, but the housing of the lens as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Daniel Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 These devices are fantastic. I don't see why there are people turning up their noses on them. I invested in the BeSteady on its Kickstarter campaign, which definitely looks like the best of the bunch. I don't care if more get released next year. Companies like BeSteady will be well ahead and provide innovative upgrade paths for more features along the way. Shipped in September. Thank you.

beernardo Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Does anyone know if it's possible to use lenses on a rig like this that zoom and would affect the balance? Assuming you could wire a camera to remotely zoom, would it affect the rigs balance? Or can they actively compensate for payload changes? This will help you understand better: http://vimeo.com/72858560 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like this I believe: http://youtu.be/7k8Z0C4spAE?t=1m30s Don't these lenses still have elements moving inside even though you don't don't have anything moving outside the barrel? you only need 1 gram moving 1 milimeter to put a stabilizer out of balance.
