I've played around with some stabilizers and gimbals lately to see which one to buy and I think I am going to pick between these two. However, is the Devin Graham one worth paying the extra $300 around for it? It has all these extra features which look good, but I read a couple of reviews that talk about the camera slipping on the new type of release plate holder it has.
But maybe that's not a problem usually and all the extra features are well worth it to save time on shoots possibly? Does anyone know?
The decision on glidecam is not final yet, but I am liking the results people are giving so far. However, out of all the videos I've seen of people, they are using wide lenses all the time like 11-16 mm, and I want long lens shots, cause they can cover more movement, so if I were to put say an 85mm or longer, could the glidecam handle that with the footage still being smooth, as long as I practice with it lots, do you think? It's hard to say cause I cannot find any glidecam footage, with long lenses.
It depends on the camera that you have. The most important is the wight. Right now I'm looking for a gimbal for myself and till now I stopped at the Flycam Redking. It's for personal usage, I don't want make money with it. We travel each year and we shot a lot of videos. Of course, only the camera is enough for this but I want to take it one step further and improve the quality of the videos. We shoot live memories and why shouldn't they be high quality?
