    My GH4 is waiting for this! Please, share your settings. I'm hoping to use the android app (via bluetooth).

    Just a little update: If you're using a lighter camera like the GH4 and you do a lil tuning of the PID which is relatively easy (hardest part is figuring out the drivers and GUI to install) this thing is amazingly stable. Will post up some footage at some point when I have time. I have used the DJI ronin-M before and after this small tuning, this DS1 is way better.

    Mine came in. First impression, easy to balance and work great. I bought it for a trip in a dry hot environmental so I hope it works great as it has so far. I wish it had a battery indicator though that tells you if the battery is running low when using the gimbal. Also a wall charger for the battery. Charging is done through a computer USB, except you buy a wall charger which I intend to do. Otherwise, so far so good.

    I got mine a couple of weeks ago. So far so good. I would say this a must have for any guerilla filmmakers.

    I just got word that mine that I pre ordered will be shipping out today. I'm only buying it because I need a gimbal for an up coming travel and want something light and small. I plan on selling it when I return. But from the videos of it that I have seen, the DS1 could be quite good.

    Are there any DS1 out there, or they're just in pre-order fase?

  • dlzndlzn

    I'm very much interested to try this one out!

  • grisnjamgrisnjam

    Anyone get one of these yet? I am interested in how the auto PID running works?

    I can confirm again, but my GH4 with 14-140 (new version) is only 860-870g (which is already above MS1 limit, but barely).

    I'm using Beholder MS-1 ... for cameras up to 800g. It works well with NX500 and GH4 + 14-140 (1100g) etc. ... for 4K videos. http://www.getdpi.com/forum/gear-garage/56025-beholder-ms1-gimbal-gh4-etc.html#post661887

    I'm a distributor in Israel. Just got 1st units DS1. Not balanced yet heavy cameras on DS1, need step by step configuration. DS1 little bit different from MS1. I'm using MS1 (GH4+AF prime lenses) until now and happy with it.

    who is selling this?

    Given that the DS1 release date was supposed to be yesterday, it seems unlikely that a lot of people have put hands on it so I'm guessing there won't be a lot of good comparisons available yet.

    Beholder DS1 or the PILOTFLY H1+? which one should I buy? Both would work with a Samsung NX300 with a wide angle pancake lens, the idea is to eliminate the use of a Steadycam Merlin.

    Yes, 18650 batteries.
