    It is not gyro. It only use small gyro sensors. Otherwise it is just simple construction, controller and three brushless drivers with position encoders.

  • warmupperwarmupper

    Ah sorry

  • JizzyjonesJizzyjones

    "o its a revolution, this the bestist video on vimeo, oh this is like the 5d all overagain, this is the biggets game changer since 5d" my word the people licking Laforet's arse for what is a gyro an some sticks from £5k not to mention need for electronic follow focus. LOL

    No one is talking to you here, click this - http://www.personal-view.com/news and check that I am talking about

    Are you talking to me? What do you mean with copy and paste? Sorry, I can't follow you???

  • igorek7igorek7

    @Vitaliy_Kiselev The thing that bothers me is the sales pitch aiming to "revolutionise [sic] filmmaking". It takes just a few minutes in internet to find, for example, this 3 years old video:

    Worst thing with this is horryble copy&paste among sites from one blog source.
    Repost without any cruicial thinking.
    Didn't it remain you of something?
    Yep, I mean Digital Bolex.

    This gadget will not require 3 skilled ops - shot rehearsals will not ever become obsolete : )

  • warmupperwarmupper

    What do you mean? Airtime or ground operation? To heavy to hold like 6kg in your hands? Movi 3,5pds plus RED?

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Limitation of the Zenmuse is, that it only can handle some cameras like Nex5/7 Gh2/3 MoVI could be a game changer because it can handle bigger cameras. And they are the first company doing this. DJI might be a little late

    Yep, but how long you can handle big camera?

  • warmupperwarmupper

    Once you have correctly balanced the camera, everthing works well. At the moment we balanced the Zenmuse with a GH3. (Also hand held) Limitation of the Zenmuse is, that it only can handle some cameras like Nex5/7 Gh2/3 MoVI could be a game changer because it can handle bigger cameras. And they are the first company doing this. DJI might be a little late

  • warmupperwarmupper

    At this time there is no Info about the possibilty of focus pulling. But you can zoom remotely controlled.

  • arnarfjodurarnarfjodur

    Of course, "affordable" is relative. But the price point of the gadget is not the only implication for how accessible to low/no-budget productions it will. To use this properly, if I understand correctly, you'll need three skilled operators. One to move the camera, one to pan & tilt and one to pull remote focus.

  • warmupperwarmupper

    @Vitaliy 'It can't compensate x,y,z axis movements, so footage must pass via software stabilizer also'

    There is no need to stabilize the footage. I own a Zenmuse and it compensates on all axis. Same thing with MoVI with the differnce that it can handle Cameras like RED

  • ZmuZmu

    Point taken VK, correct - but even $4-5k cost for small operators is a massive leap in shooting potential, this an interesting cross over of cine technology. I always wanted instant transition from high mode to low mode with my Cam stabilizer. I would have to sell my kids to buy Mk V- AR rig. Now I'm stuck with teenagers : )

  • ZmuZmu

    @ igorek7 you have nailed it mate! Are you willing to post any instructions re any mods adapting from drone flight to hand held?

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    give it 12 months & perhaps this rig will be like an arsehole: everyone's got one! : )

    Nope. Issue here is cost of drives and other details. Even quite mass oriented gymbals for air shooting have high prices.

  • ZmuZmu

    Rambo is correct - it's cool adaptation from drone technology to hand held (for paid camera operators) I'm not big budget but I'm a paid Dir/Op - & this is F$^#@ cool!!! I was looking at Photo Higher's Halo 2000 series (direct drive gimbal) to mount on my modified Glidecam X10 - NAB announcements of new tech's always have limited impact on hobby/amateur op's. .... initially - affordable copies will arrive! ...give it 12 months & perhaps this rig will be like an arsehole: everyone's got one! : )

  • last_SHIFTlast_SHIFT

    Game changer? As VK said looks like LaForget has a new sponsor ;). What this clown said on his blog was that it was not as affordable as a 5D - lol he was off about 13 grand.

    As feha said - I'll wait for the Chinese one - heck even the Varavon one.

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    @igorek7

    I am sure that Zenmuse clones will appear and with optional handles :-)

  • fehafeha

    Also, diy one:

  • igorek7igorek7

    From the comments to the last video: "How is this different from the currently available for 3,500 USD Zenmuse Z15. Same concept..you just add handle bars.

    " So far, it's all just a marketing research, to see how high they can charge to sell a profitable number of units.

  • mattherematthere

    @kabuto1138 a game changing price would be nice :) I understand that it is quite difficult to see into the future, and determine the actual market for these and similar products, but it would be interesting if we started to see less margins on a greater quantity of units, but this is probably not the kind of market that we can expect that to happen, although when companies set prices at these levels are they really surprised when knock-off versions appear at a fraction of the cost.. six months later?
