andy lee Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 just spotted this on ebay Movi type 3 axis stabaliser for £434 !! looks very similar to the Movi - that was $12,000 ish http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-axis-DSLR-Handle-Brushless-Gimbal-Camera-Mount-Set-w-5210-Motor-BGC-Controller-/251379663758?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item3a8765438e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgharding Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Minus the remote second operator control and wireless app setup configuration for the gimbal follow speed, but also a hell of a lot less expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy lee Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 there are a few other kits on ebay that are similar - if you are up for self assembly this is so cheap - I would like to try one I was at the BVE Show in Manchester 2 weeks ago and tried one that a UK firm Skyonix had one on display and it produced great stable images on a 5DMK11 it will be available in Jan 2014 in the UK priced around £4000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommykristensen Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Check out Defy gimbals. Their G5 is only 3800 USD. Sicvisuals Ghost is around 2400 USD assembled - and 1900 unassembled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty impressive but, again, whilst its cheap in comparison to the Movi, I still feel there is a premium being thrown on to it because of that. As for the one on ebay....I'm proposing 20 of us throw £20 each in to buy one and get Andrew to run round Berlin with it for a few days to give us the verdict!

andy lee Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 the Skytronic one was good but £4000 is still 10x the price of the Chinese one and it looks almost the same - both had carbon fibre tubes here is a pic of it http://www.eoshd.com/comments/gallery/image/804-skytronic-3-axis-stabalizer-rig-at-bve-north-show-2013/ good Idea! Get one for Mr Reid to test!! Ergo Zjeci 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I foresee in 2014 we'll see a lot of those. Some will be quite usable. We will need a remote focus with a proper joystick (for the thumb or so). By then thousands of Glidecams will flood the bay, and expensive OS lenses will be shopkeepers.

andy lee Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 yes Axel - its good that ebay is starting to get a few of these from China by different makers its basically a modified helecopter stabaliser they all have been selling for a few years now I dont see why these have to be 12k like the Movi - so roll on 2014 and some new toys!

This one has geared servos. andy lee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
