jnorman34 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I have supplemented my normal GH4/tripod/fluid head/slider setup with a Gopro Hero 4 and a Zhiyun handheld 3-axis gimbal to add moving shots. This video was shot completely with the Gopro. I would appreciate any comments. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chris Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I have the 4k GoPro too and I can't decide whether to get one of these gimbals and defish 4k footage or get one of the larger gimbals like the Nebula or Pilotfly H1. The 4k is pretty impressive out of the GoPro, which make me think I can get by, shooting people is the only worry for me. Only thing that jumps out is the video is a little bouncy at times, gotta smooth out your steps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnorman34 Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 thanks chris - I am pretty new at using the gimbal, and it is a bit difficult to make it perfectly smooth... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markr041 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I would suggest considering 2.7K, 60 fps, medium fov. 2.7K medium is substantially better than 1080 and is really quite good and the medium FOV lessens the curvatures that sometimes is very distracting (the resolution is also better at medium than at wide for 2.7K). Shooting at 60fps smooths out the motion better than 30 fps - and the point of the stabilizer is mostly so you can move around smoothly.

jnorman34 Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 mark - are you talking about shooting at 60fps and playing back at 30fps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markr041 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Actually, I meant shooting and playing back at 60 fps for smooth motion. But if you like slow motion you also have that option shooting at 60 fps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
