Great video! I also agree with what stoneground1 says. I would also count with Mississippi or 1 thousands instead of just counting 1,2,3. You will get a better drop time with that. With my thanos pro cine, I added tennis racket tape on the handle and grip on the sled. That made it more comfortable for me, I also built a new case for everything cause the aluminum case it came with is too heavy and the foam keeps everything too tight. I pulled the sled out for the first time when I got it a little over a year ago and it scared me how tight it was around the connections on the top stage. I still love my rig though! I'm based in Austin so if you're down to link up and practice I'd be down for that. Again, great video man!

they look very heavy to lift.

Wow! Cool equipment 😮

Wind is the enemy!!! Haha!!! Yes you could actually get the Volt on the Thanos, but this would mean buying a whole new gimbal and the Volt brain. Costing way more than what the entire rig was purchased for. lol Practice, practice and more practice!! Gotta love it!! They claim 70lbs for the arm I would try and get the rig to about 35lbs. Just a thought... Peace!!

Good stuff. A couple of pieces of advice. So glad you included the cut about the sandbag.. Haha. When finding your drop time I highly recommend staying close to the rig. Just because the handle is on the balancing stud doesn't always mean it's totally secure. Say your drop time is too fast and just by chance a small vibration occurs and loosens the handle, the whole rig flys off and crashes to the ground. Production nightmare!! Also when you are ready to dock your sled, make sure the rig isn't as low as you have it. Better to be up a little than low. And on that note, you really want to make sure your arm sections fly almost perpendicular. I recommend raising your socket block up on the vest and taking the section closest to the gimbal down. This will let the arm take more of the body movement out before it reaches the sled. I know we have discussed this monitor thing before. Haha. But for $36-$50 you can get a small SDI adapter on Amazon. I feel the monitor will become a distraction for you. You may want to look at it while operating and miss a mark. It could be useful if you mount it on the side and maybe let your 1st AC use it for focus pulling. Plus it is sucking out 12v at least from your battery. Batteries on set are crucial!! Anyway... love that you're getting to the craft and posting content!! And yes you are right, core and practice. My neighbors used to stare at me walking around my house practicing! Haha!! Keep it up and will be waiting for some more BTS stuff and the completed film. Peace!!!

So the horizon is floating on the thanos, but original steadicams have electronic stuff that corrects the floating horizon, do I get it right? The second question, so how you gonna fix that on your shoots with the thanos?

Just bought today with 50mm, 35mm will be my best friend ! Bought smallrig box too ! 🥹🤩

What gap hoodie is that? Is that a special collab? I love it.

Hey man i got 2 questions for ya, How do i add the 2 others screens. As i only have 1 when i open up immersed. Also at end of the video, how did you get that pop up menu in your right hand (not the immersed one) Thanks

love it!

Nice!! That's what I'm talking 'bout!!! Anyway getting that control handle off the side? Have you noticed any vibrations in your footage from this rig? Great stuff!!

if you want to use a zoom lens like Laowa Nanomorph 28-55mm can you use it with that matte box or how would you set it up?

I picked up the SD600 for about $430 on Amazon. I had a $250 gift card from Amazon, so my out-of-pocket cost was super low. The version in the video the second version of the same light, the SD600-II. From what I can tell, the main difference is the ballast. The upgraded ballast has a color display where as the old version has a black and white display. I kind of like the old version of the ballast, as the connectors are not on the bottom of the unit, so the unit can fall to the ground (accidentally, of course) without smashing your connectors. Definitely a design oversight at GVM. Also, old reviews complained about the ratchet being made of plastic and not adjustable. Well, even the original version had the upgraded metal adjustable ratchet system. Feels solid, even with heavy mounted on there. I also encourage people to check this out above their SD650B. The mounting system on those has serious compatibility issues. This version has none of those and has nearly identical power for even less money than the Pro.

Thanks for your review! I started out with Movie Magic, then Fade In, which has been my main solid, dependable choice for the last 8 years or so, but I would love for you (or someone else) to do a review/comparison on Drama Queen, which I've been test-driving recently. I think it's very powerful and yet under-rated. I'd love to hear from others who've used it as well. Thanks.

Just a quick one - do be careful of what power is going into these... The Ronin RS Pro's and Focus Pro have different voltages and we've been hearing of a lot of Focus Pro's blowing up because of incorect batteries, USB C and other power being plugged into them.

Great video! I would like copy this set up. I am jjust not sure what kind of screws to buy to mount the LIDAR sensor to the cheese plate or better what is the size of the holes in the DJI LIDAR? Thank you!

I'm using the smallrig top handle on an ursa so I screwed mine directly on the bottom plate (I also removed the hotshoe mount it comes with). I was determined not to spend another dime on accessories 😭

Hey, how can you connect the view finder and flash trigger?

I very much would like to give you some advice on your setup. I wonder about your placement of your monitor? The reason operators put the monitor at the base is so they can see where they are walking avoiding any obstacles and being able to keep frame at the same time. Plus it takes strain off your neck. I have been looking at this rig for awhile now and I simply cannot stand their product marketing!! That being said, there are reasons for the batteries being opposite of the monitor. All about inertia and dynamic balance. Rule of thumb, you should try and keep your gimbal as close to the top stage as possible. This helps with dynamic balancing. And in the video I see way too much stuff on your camera setup. If you are flying with a battery on your camera then you really don't need that many batteries on the bottom stage. I recommend getting a cage for your monitor and putting the batteries on the backside. This way you won't need to extend your post too much. Your follow focus remote should be on your gimbal handle. You can figure a way to mount it and you will have control of your focus without stopping to set focus and also not have that extra weight on the side of your camera build. Being streamlined is very important for dynamic balance. There is just too much going on up there with your camera build. I highly recommend you put your monitor on the bottom. I'd hate for you to not see even the smallest of obstacle(i.e.-rock, step, etc.). There could be irreparable damage to your rig and camera if you were to take a spill. Not to mention you getting injured in the process. Safety is key. If need be have a spotter. Just like weight training, there is a limit. I hope you take this advice, it will help you become a better operator with better footage. Keep up the good work and never stop chasing that dream!! Peace!!

Thank you for talking the time to show it on the X100Vii. I am deciding between this one and the Godox Junior. I agree with you that the two AA batteries on the Junior is a negative...but I think that I prefer the aesthetics of the Junior.

yo i just found the brother from another mother from Pierre C. the youtuber Ben Bugatty has just exactly the same eye shape

I am the Official Zune King for sure! I was not playing! I love this technology! The design. The set up. Everything was awesome! My Kingdom was great! Microsoft gave it to me and I ran with it!

I have a few questions, dude: 1. I shoot on Zcam E2-F6 Pro, so how you keep framing horizontally when you shot it on steadicam? 2. Have you heard about Steadicam Axis, its released in 2024 and costs 9000$ 3. What's are cons of Thanos Pro Cine vs professional steadicam's from Steadicam in your opinion? 4. Please share more test videos or actual projects where you used Thanos Pro Cine and also share what additional gear you used on steadicam and about build of your rig. 5. Please make videos how to set up Thanos Pro Cine steadicam and how to balance it, because this is a new product and I guess there is actually not enough people who make videos about that. Many thanks

Very easy to clean love it

V-Mount batteries work?

I would love to see your rig close up. Go over what you like and don’t like about it in detail. Eg; do you like or dislike the location of ports, monitor bracket, fit of vest, etc… i’m considering purchasing this setup. Also is there any safety lock for the camera plate on the sled once’s it’s secured?

Focus pro sold out EVERYWHERE

Thanks fam

I know nothing about what you do, but, for s test - really neat effect from that lense. The side mirror shots were my fav, but the one towards the sun with the weird distortion was a close 2nd, though kind of unsettling, lol

I'll sub, sounds like an interesting story you have to tell. Dig that camera setup! Break a leg!

I still have my hd, i had the first generation water got in it.

Mine are better guaranteed 👏

mine just came a few days ago, and man... i just love it! my old Neumann TLM 102 which i sold now was driving me crazy, its just not good in a open room. Got some Absorbers, Diffusers here and there and stuff but its just not enough for that mic

sure would be nice if they ever send me mine...been waiting for several months now....

I've been trying to find a good flare example from this pair. Does the 24a give you a subtle green to your flares? Specifically with either of your taking lenses?

Do you ever fly a gimbal/steadi rig?

thanks

What is the model of that base?

Dope work

Lit!

Please bro tell the name of this adaptor 🙏

What if i only want to get power for the motor?, what voltage of usb C cable to D tap i need?

Isn't it more beneficial to get the lidar closer to the lens field of view?

Thanks for the info bro. I'm just getting myself into steadicam and I was just looking at this one as my first step into it

How much pulp with berries

That mounting is a huge pain. Not only because it's two m4 screws, but also because the LIDAR is limited to a distance of 300mm from sensor. For most of my use cases this number is too low to place it under mattebox, closest to the lens as possible. Weird limitation that I really can't get. Also the cables are too short, and DJI does not sell longer than 30cm cables.
