[@FilmTyler]

CHECK OUT MY ZHIYUN CRANE 2 REVIEW! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHKWfZyMmtOtftU

[@RetroRecipesKitchen]

Brilliant use of the Beholder. I love mine and love the way you used yours. Just uploaded a video I shot using it with my Canon 5D Mii but I just got the A7S and am so excited to play with it. Keep it up, mate.

[@FilmTyler]

Bobby Hicks Thanks you Mate! Yeah it's a wicked bit of kit for sure. I'll go and check that out! Thanks for the comment! Legend

[@MisterHenry]

Great piece of kit mate. A must have for the videography arsenal.

[@FilmTyler]

Ohhh mate! Its wicked! haha

[@burnafterplaying]

jheez man you deserve more subs purely for replying to every comment! Hope you get new a gimbal sorted!

[@FilmTyler]

Eric Fraser haha I'm fortunate that they don't all come at once! And thanks a lot man! Will hopefully sort something out soon! Feels strange not having anything. Have a good Christmas and new year!

[@MikeMorash]

Nothing beats that a7s low light ability!

[@FilmTyler]

100% Agree man!

[@LifeOfTheShooter]

Thank you a lot for this video... really gave me a great look at how this gimbal works...

[@FilmTyler]

Reese Davis Amazing, no worries at all man

[@flodask8ing21]

Really great video man! This thing is pretty awesome. You should make a video showing he stabilizer, how it works, maybe. Keep it up

[@FilmTyler]

Thanks dude! Yeah i reckon if more people ask for it then i will make one for sure! there are some good how to's out there at the moment! Are you going to get one of these?

[@flodask8ing21]

+Tyler Palmer Filmmaker Well I use a canon 5d mkiii so it's too heavy/ large for this stabilizer I'm thinking. but love ur Sony those have great low light and video look. I use a Glidecam 2000 for my setup : )

[@FilmTyler]

Ahhh okay check this out man!! i'ts not too heavy at all! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXqoknuZprSDeZI

[@FilmTyler]

And yeah man sony's are nice!

[@flodask8ing21]

+Tyler Palmer Filmmaker hmmmm that looks pretty seeet! I tend to hold the camera and then stabilize in editing mostly. I'll give this a look online

[@AmyWinehouseRIP420]

hey Tyler. great footage and awesome grading. try to turn off steady shot on Camera when using a Gimbal. Thats why the footage looks shaky on some parts. got the same setup and had the same issues but now i got super smooth shots. cheers

[@atolavisuals]

Really diggin your color grades!

[@FilmTyler]

atola visuals Thank you!

[@KoolCreation]

Nice shots man!

[@FilmTyler]

Thanks a lot!

[@Sxvxn]

Loved it brotha

[@FilmTyler]

Thanks bro!!!

[@Abdfaiz]

Cool vid! What are the differences between the yellow DS1 and red DS1? Thanks!

[@FilmTyler]

Abd Faiz The red one is a DS1 the yellow one is an EC1. Two different models

[@paulrabara1246]

Just ordered my DS 1 today. Can't wait. Pretty easy set up? How long? Is this your first gimbal? Nice work, man. Smooth.

[@FilmTyler]

Nice man!! Yeah it is pretty simple doesn't take too long at all. And it is my first gimbal. I have been using a flycam nano for a long time and it feels really good to have a bit more freedom when getting good shots. Especially when you can turn the gimbal upside down for those low shots! Thanks Paul!

[@paulrabara1246]

Thank you. I'm pretty excited to get it. Keep filming!! Looks good.

[@THMSYTB]

Great Footage, man!!!

[@ethanodonovan]

Wicked video!

[@FilmTyler]

Thanks Ethan!

[@AlimHaque]

Sick video dude, love the grading especially - how come everyone uses a wide angle? I'm planning to use my 35mm on APSC so about 50mm and haven't seen any tests using that sort of focal length, is it still similarly stable?

[@FilmTyler]

Thanks man! And that's a good question. Id say its because with wide angles you can really get a good look into how smooth the Ds1 is. Although i have tried with a 50mm and it does look great. Perhaps in one of my next videos i will use some footage through a 50mm. Thanks for your comment and be sure to subscribe!

[@AlimHaque]

That'd be sick, thank you. Subscribed!

[@FilmTyler]

Legend!

[@NiccolasLim]

have you try beholder Ms1? what is the difference between Ds1 and Ms1, except about camera weight they can handle?

[@FilmTyler]

I haven't had a go with the MS1, Cant be as good though

[@HHLovebb]

Every video is great. I am just curious about you always use manual lenses, how can you focus when moving? and do you always recored in 120ftp? Thx

[@FilmTyler]

hh Yo! I always set a focal point before I start shooting and then stay within it! And no I change between 24fps and 120fps 👍🏼

[@ComaChaser]

Hey Tyler, can you give me a quick list of the settings you use and what you graded the colors with? I have my a7s now, but my shit doesn't look remotely this awesome lol

[@FilmTyler]

Haha thank you for your kind words! CAMERA 1080p 24fps 720p 120fps I bought a LUTS grading package from Color Grading Central www.colorgradingcentral.com/impulz/ then used a final cut colour wheel to make adjustments! Give me a sub if your feeling up to it! Thanks!

[@mtvjesse]

dude this footage looks amazing ! been looking at getting the new sony a6500 when it comes out with this Sigma 20mm lens that you use possibly and maybe even on this gimble too for vlogging ! do you think ill get good results for everyday travel and vloging ?

[@FilmTyler]

mtvjesse Thanks bro! The a6500 looks great would definitely work well! When you do get it all I'd love to see a video!

[@mtvjesse]

hell ya thanks man !! will do

[@shpetimdoka]

Hello, does the Canon XC-10 fits in DS1 Beholder Gimbal? Thank you

[@FilmTyler]

TIM DOKA Hello! You know what I think it could, but have never tested it before! Although the bottom of the XC-10 might be too large for the baseplate on the DS1. But again never tried it

[@shpetimdoka]

Thank you.

[@tay6030]

Have you ran into any issue when trying to correct the calibration using SimpleBGC? Mine is going nuts and I can't figure out what I did wrong.

[@FilmTyler]

TaLyn Jones Hello! I never had to fine tune it. So I'm unsure what to tell you on this one. But I do suggest contacting the guys at Owldolly as they know a lot about them. I probably would know the answer to your question if I didn't have my stolen haha sorry man

[@steve5823]

awesome grading and slow motion! which softwares are using?

[@FilmTyler]

Thanks man! And I use Final Cut Pro X and a couple plugins from color grading central check it out!

[@jacepoulsen]

Is it worth it to buy one of these or save up for a more expensive one? I just notice shakes in all the review have seen

[@FilmTyler]

Legit Drones Yo! I’d say go for a more up to date one as this one is years old now! Zhiyun and DJI make some wicked ones

[@jacepoulsen]

Tyler Palmer Filmmaker Sweet! Thanks. There is one for sale near me for really cheap and I didn’t know if it would be worth it or not.

[@FilmTyler]

Legit Drones Depends on how cheap! The beholder was always good with a small lens like the samyang 12mm etc but to be honest you’ll want to use bigger lenses so I’d go bigger!

[@jacepoulsen]

Tyler Palmer Filmmaker I’m thinking the DJI Ronin S will be the way to go👍 Thanks for your help👍

[@FilmTyler]

Legit Drones You’re welcome! Have fun with it!

[@PavlentijIvani4]

What can you say about little tremor on 1:55 ?

[@FilmTyler]

Pavel Batehin Hello Pavel, I'm not sure haha no handheld lightweight gimbals are perfect. Sometimes you get a little shake when your moving too harshly?

[@facugonzalez154]

hey tyler! How are you man? I have a question. With the A7s didnt have the problem of shaking? I have the DS1 correctly balanced and the vibrations are there no mather what i do!

[@FilmTyler]

Todos Podemos Yo yeah I'm well! How are you? And what lens are you using? If you have an adaptor and like a 24-105 you do get a bit of shaking but shouldn't be constant. If your using a smaller lens then it might be a calibration issue inside the beholder. I didn't have my Beholder for long though!

[@facugonzalez154]

Tyler Palmer Filmmaker so thanks bro! i have a sony a7s with a Canon 24 FD 2.8 + little adapter. i think that the motors are so strong for this combination. i will check the PDI configuration! nice video! so much thanks for your time Tyler!

[@KoishikAhmmad]

bro the color grade is sick in this. not to mention the footage lol. mind sharing which lut u used?

[@FilmTyler]

Thanks a lot!! I use cine 4 and sony luts from color grade central!

[@hannahwhiston5082]

What do you use to edit the coloring on your videos?

[@FilmTyler]

Hannah Whiston Hello Hannah, I use Final Cut Pro. Then a Lut that suits my clip! Then play around with the colour chart until I'm happy

[@JeffreyHLe]

Hey Tyler, awesome video man. Just curious if the gimbal can support and A7s and a 24-70 f2.8 from Sony. I know the weight wont be a problem, but I heard if a lens is too long, it wont balance? Thanks mate

[@FilmTyler]

Hello mate! Thanks a lot! I know for sure that will be fine man. As I also use my a7s with a canon 24-105 lens. And have no issues at all! I just take of the viewfinder guard for extra space!

[@JeffreyHLe]

+Tyler Palmer Filmmaker Oh sweet man! Awesome, helped a lot haha. Couldnt find any real answers till now :)

[@anthonymitson5821]

Really! A Canon 24-105 with an adapter on the a7s will run on this gimbal? D'you happen to have any test footage?

[@FilmTyler]

Yes it really does!! if you skip to 1.40 the shot of the bike wheels that's with the 24-105mm

[@nicholaskinoshita4200]

Are your slow-motion shots, shot at 1080 60fps or 720 120fps? I'm deciding whether or not cameras with 1080 120fps is really worth the extra $$ or if 1080 60fps is good enough. thanks!

[@FilmTyler]

Nicholas Kinoshita Hello! All my slow motion was shot at 720p 120fps unfortunately I don't have the 1080p 60fps version which is mental. I didn't even know there was a different version haha pain!

[@nicholaskinoshita4200]

Tyler Palmer Filmmaker well your slow mo shots look amazing! I would say you wouldn't need it. Thanks for the advice. I think this helps my decision. When you slow it down do you slow it from 120 down to 60? Or even lower like 24 or 30?

[@FilmTyler]

Nicholas Kinoshita Thank you! When I slow the 120fps clips down I do it in % on final cut I have the options of 50% 25% and 10% I do 25 as anything more or less doesn't look right

[@thetubbytommy]

mate Im just curious where you bought your kicks - are they custom vans? that tobacco leather is dropdead amazing!

[@FilmTyler]

Haha amazing. They are old school hard work pack edition vans! and yes they are lush!

[@tvtrippy1234]

Hey man what lenses did you use for your a7s ?? thanks

[@FilmTyler]

Marsupial Hello! I used a 24-105mm cannon lens and a 20mm sigma lens! Merry Christmas!

[@tygastyle80]

Do you use the autofocus function when filming with the gimbal?

[@FilmTyler]

I wish I had autofocus! Haha I just set up the focus and then do my best to stay within the focal length of the shot, I'm going to get an auto focus lens for definite

[@Planet7]

Very nice gimbal and video! Thanks for that. Question: If I buy a more powerfull set of 18650 batteries (9800mah) will the gimbal get a longer operating time versus the 2600mah batteries included?

[@FilmTyler]

Hello! Thank you! I'm not too sure on that one but can find out from Owldolly the suppliers? With all batteries that don't come with the Beholder you have to be aware that they could blow up! Especially if they are higher powered! Let me know if you want me to find out officially!

[@Planet7]

From Owldolly i got this reply to the same question: thank you and yes, though if you want the best battery life check out our new Beholder EC1, up to 20 hours of battery life.

[@FilmTyler]

Ahh okay! We'll definitely get the EC1. If I had known it was going to be released it would have it now! The DS1 battery life is still really good though! Shot a 3 day festival recently and had no problems at all!

[@Planet7]

Wow 3 days on one charge? But the manual says 2-3h max..

[@FilmTyler]

Yes I didn't allow the batteries to die. I kept them on a constant charging and swapping loop during the festival. 2 hours of use then swap around plus I've never constantly had the power on. And it worked for me! I guess it depends on your use of the beholder.! But 20 hours sounds great so get the EC1!!!!

[@Wusworldgaming]

what style of color grading is this

[@FilmTyler]

Wuuski I use luts and then grade accordingly until I like what I've got! So I guess it's my style haha

[@MakuLabs]

How were you focusing & what was the aperture?

[@FilmTyler]

Mayank Jain Hello! I made sure I focused before I started shooting and then kept my distance between myself and my subject! And it was a while ago now so can't remember but probably around F6 too much depth of field makes it a lot harder to keep the focus right

[@MakuLabs]

Thank you!

[@manfredteh]

will the beholder ds1 be able to support the weight of 7d mark ii ?

[@FilmTyler]

I don't see why not, it can support the 5D MK 4 the 6D etc

[@etivestudios6925]

Hey, sweet video 👌 would you know if other types of the same battery work for it? Cheers

[@FilmTyler]

ETIVE CREATIONS Hello! Thanks. And I'm unsure to be honest. I've had someone ask the same thing. All I would say is don't buy anything that's not made for the beholder. Maybe email Owl Dolly they may be able to help. Link to their website is in the description 👍🏻

[@etivestudios6925]

Tyler Palmer Filmmaker - Ok thanks for the advice, it was just because shipping took so long and was expensive from owldolly, but might need to go for it.

[@mohammedchanij2004]

Hello! Do you use a S-log2 ? Or another setting ?

[@FilmTyler]

Clarity Films Hello! I use Cine 4

[@mohammedchanij2004]

Tyler Palmer Filmmaker Okey, thank you ! And resolution is 1080p 60fps ?

[@FilmTyler]

Clarity Films No worries at all! And I shoot 24fps 1080 & 120fps 720

[@mohammedchanij2004]

Tyler Palmer Filmmaker nice ! Keep working

[@FilmTyler]

Clarity Films You too! 👊🏼

[@VincentCottier]

Does the A7s have continuous auto-focus ?

[@FilmTyler]

Depends on what lenses your using man. my canon ones don't work with it plus i have an adapter. I guess if your using Zeiss it works!

[@VincentCottier]

Thanks for the fast reply ! And well yes, there is no doubt it depends on the lens under consideration, I was merely wondering if the body itself was capable of doing it (as an example, I own a Canon 600D that does not have continuous auto-focus, whereas the 70D does)

[@FilmTyler]

Well i only bought the body and have only used Canon lenses and it hasn't worked for me! I heard somewhere it may have an auto focus feature but i'm not sure! I'd have to own a sony lens and test it!

[@VincentCottier]

Oh okay, it just seemed like hit had autofocus when you were riding in the car park and had the image focused on your shoes ;)

[@FilmTyler]

Haha thats just focus distance practise! Wish i did have auto focus!

[@WilliamYangTW]

Nice video Can your DS1 setup balance A7S+canon 24105?

[@FilmTyler]

Thanks William, Yes you can! I do it all the time. I take off the rubber viewfinder for more space to balance at the back of the a7s

[@WilliamYangTW]

thanks so much for the tip! subscribed to your channel looking forward for more of your vids

[@FilmTyler]

No problem at all! And thank you i will do the same!

[@DINO-hr3wb]

DOES IT WORK WELL WITH THOSE BIG FULL FRAME LENSE'S LIKE AN 24-70MM LENS ON AN A7S CAMERA ?

[@FilmTyler]

Hi, I'd say that a lens that large would be too front heavy for a gimbal like this one!

[@minokeldorfer]

hey really cool video! did you do 60fps or more?

[@FilmTyler]

Hey thanks! I shot all the slow mo at 120fps

[@minokeldorfer]

oh okay, thx :) hey you really got talent, dont loose it

[@FilmTyler]

Thank you man! I will definitely try not to lose it! Haha

[@CarusLA]

How do you color grade?

[@FilmTyler]

Hello Josh! I use luts that are made for my camera, you can find them on color grading central. Then grade from there till I'm happy.

[@CarusLA]

Tyler Palmer Filmmaker knew it haha what preset tho?

[@FilmTyler]

I use Cine 4. Although i don't just slap it on and hope for the best. I use it to make some of the colours pop then play around with the saturation and colour wheel! Just experiment haha

[@dany666xd]

le funciona ala canon 60D???

[@FilmTyler]

Daniel avila campos Hello! Si it works with the canon 60D

[@WaqarAzeemKhan]

Dude what's the price of this?

[@FilmTyler]

Hello mate, Here is the link to the exact one i bought www.owldolly.com/products/beholder-ds1-camera-stabilizer?variant=14551066180

[@WaqarAzeemKhan]

+Tyler Palmer Filmmaker Thanks Man.

[@lukasharry3603]

I have the same gimbal, idk Why but mine is terrible, I bought it on second hand so maybe previous owner fucked it... But If This is really How it should look, then cool video👌

[@FilmTyler]

Lukas Harry Hey mate! This video is so old now so the Beholder is super dated and most likely very bugged out. If I’m truly honest. Looking back at this film the footage isn’t the greatest ever! But appreciate the comment!

[@xhope7902]

Fucking lit

[@FilmTyler]

TheeLifeOfPaul haha! 👍🏼👊🏼

[@bvanquish777]

sold me on this over the came single

[@FilmTyler]

Brandon Everett haha sick! It is a decent bit of kit!
