Cheap Glidecam vs Cheap Gimbal Comparison

[@byBC]

Also there is a huge learning curve to flying a glidecam correctly. It took me 6+ months of use to get good shots.

[@byBC]

You setup the glidecam completely incorrectly, which is part of the reason for the horrible footage. The weights are in front and behind the camera, and it should have been mounted rotated 90 degrees to the left.

[@pawemarczuk8402]

Exactly... that makes your camera spin. As you show on the video the time instead 2-3sec is around 1sec that will make shots not smooth at all

[@tylermort2925]

byBC lol he was setting it up and was like, what dumby

[@krentmanacap3446]

its no fair..

[@ryanlittle1525]

it doesn't really matter much, it just depends on the types of moves you do.

[@moto.munchies]

I thought the same thing when I bought mine which is exactly like the one in this video but according to the manual, the weights are supposed to be 90degrees to the side unlike the steady cam which are in front.

[@VanneihthangaVanchhawng]

$50 & $350 does it even compare

[@AVDVideos]

A steady cam will last you years longer than a gimbal, and with practice and (proper) balancing you can get just as good as shots as a gimbal...

[@4eyesnb]

always keep a manual steadicam for backup it's cheap and easy to pack, and you never know when the electronic gimbal fails on job.

[@tdbandeira1]

the problem is holding it for a long period of time

[@lordownanglo]

really looking for a gimbal or stabalizer. thanks for your comparison

[@hang_the_empire4261]

could you use a canon 70d with the gimble?

[@JTFuller]

they don't make these anylonger? Amazon doesnt carry them anylonger. Also, did you stabilize your footage any?

[@LeMartinOG]

300 is budget? jesus

[@legendp2011]

Ronin M Gimbal cost $2000

[@goodboi1232]

PCFanatic 300 is pretty cheap compare to other gimbal

[@neptuneestate]

MOST dslr gimbals cost around $600-$700

[@Bexgotthebounce]

this gimbal isn't available anymore. Do you have any others in that price range you could recommend? thanks

[@ArthurR]

No, I am currently looking for a replacement. The gimbal is great with the kit lens, but doesnt work well with heavier lenses, unfortunately.

[@davida5658]

Hey how is the gimbal, for the price, looks amazingg, how many hours of use with one battery? Do you have a few batts on shoots? Is it 'portable' easy to transport in some box? delicate? Can I operate one handed like the crane, beholder...? I imagine I can't flip it and use it like those..? cheers

[@ostensiblyyours6311]

I wanna ask, you said in the video that the drop time should be 2-3 seconds but it was less than one. Did you change it off screen or just recorded like that? I'm trying to make a decision so I'm asking

[@maxvandepol]

Omaer Rafiq this is not a verry accurate review, the glidecam is balanced wrong, the footage of the glidecam is not nice looking at al although a glidecam can deliver some great results!

[@maxvandepol]

much money to spend? choose gimbal! buying on the budget? choose glidecam!

[@jorgem50]

Huge glidecam setup fail!

[@riteshdhoot7]

Thanks for the video buddy !!

[@MommaFromScratch]

Hi Aurthur! Can you recommend a few cheap gimbals/glidecams for me I like what you showed and reviewed hear but more recently? comparing to the S40 one? Were traveling to europe and want a small but affordable option..

[@irismuddyhehe]

super helpful thank you!!

[@JarvinsMarvin]

Looks like you haven't had much practice with the the el-cheapo steadicam - it almost looks handheld. I have the s-60 and I know they can deliver wayyyyy better results than that.

[@IamLEST]

I have an A7s with a sony Fe 24 F2 Lens does it work ?

[@Hinaioo]

The gimbal as far as I know has a weight limit of 600g and the a7s by itself exceeds that limit so it won't be possible. However I advise the zhiyun crane, which can hold up to 1500g, and with the firmware update it can hold 2200g!

[@ataintedcloud]

hey TechMafia, was the joystick controller included in the pack you bought?

[@RyTyTech]

80d gimbal?

[@T3GMedia]

Great video! You earned a sub! Do you think this would fit a Canon 70D?

[@Veightsc]

How long can you run the gimbal per charge? Is the battery easily replaceable if you buy extra? And finally what's the load limit you can put on this gimbal? Thanks.

[@arturminigaliev]

thank you for the video! It's very usefull!

[@ArthurR]

you are welcome. glad you found it useful!

[@Cbabyperk]

Do you know if you can connect this gimbal to a one-handed handle? I need something i can carry with one hand while hiking

[@TitanBeats]

There is a handle at the top for one handed carry

[@samanthajohnson985]

Can you post the name of the song used, please? I love the tunes you play!

[@Zippy765]

yea im always curious about the music!

[@ArthurR]

yes, sorry i forgot. the description has been updated!

[@icecoldr513]

TechnologyMafia can this gimbal hold your a6000 with the 50 mm lens

[@Xxjason420xX]

I see the Iflight g40's weight range is between 300g - 600g. Would it work with a Lumix g7 and kit lens (The total weight of the camera with the lens is 540g) or is there anything similar around the same price range that you would recommend? Thanks.

[@lorisboutouil7127]

Hi Guy ! Great review. Do you know if it is compatible with the A7 series or just for smaller camera ? Thank you !

[@cameron7041]

I'm making a short film and I need a a stabilizer that can portray a walking motion I think the cheap humble is good for what I need but I also want a sense if professionalism I'm unable to decide between the two

[@angelwalker.]

the limit for this gimball is 600g, so you guys do your math with your camera and lenses, and hell yeah this is a budget gimbal, compared to paying 600-700 for one that hold bit more weight and 1200+ for the well known brand DJI

[@FutureGameDev]

Lotta people are loving the Zhiyun Crane

[@lkfxfotografiavideo177]

What lens you recommend for the cheap glidecam? Looks only pancake Lens would work

[@jayalterEgoz]

hey bro. does the gimbal have a reducer or only battery?

[@ArthurR]

jay alterEgo battery only.

[@jayalterEgoz]

TechnologyMafia I'm wondering what battery works for my DYS AlexMos Brushless gimbal... I don't wanna burn it before it's finished constructing

[@MSletsplayer96]

The gimbal for lumix g70 suitable?

[@YoungBlaze]

but you never gave any cons with the gimbal yuum

[@GeraldPined]

bro and youtuber and vloger. and i wants a good camera for all my proyects im thinking about any sony a500.6000 or 6300 or canon t5i. what's your advice for me please?

[@maxvandepol]

Gerald Pined definitly the sony a6300, at least dont buy the t5i, sharpness and framrate suck

[@DriveByReviews]

you have the sweetest looking home ever.

[@ArthurR]

real estate investment has its perks!

[@ericmcfarland4228]

up to what size camera can the gimbal hold?

[@ArthurR]

It's designed for Sony NEX5/7, RX-100, BMPCC, etc. It will only work well with a small mirrorless camera. It's perfect for the A6000/A6300.

[@ericmcfarland4228]

Thanks

[@ericmcfarland4228]

+TechnologyMafia do you think it could stabilize an a6300 with the sigma 18-35 lens?

[@ArthurR]

I think it would work, but the 18-35 is a heavy lens, so just to be safe i would recommend a larger gimbal.

[@stanleyzalewski5940]

what gimbal is it

[@iflightfpv]

iflight g40

[@TitanBeats]

Are there any gimbals for under 100$ CAD?

[@alexalvarez4133]

Dude glidecam requires training, that's not even well balanced. That's not even how the parts of the glidecam should go.

[@ArthurR]

Exactly the point of this video! The average user isnt going to get great results without a LOT of practice and fine tuning.

[@Alex50cc]

especially if they are too lazy to balance it correctly, takes 10 minutes tops...

[@stilmotionpicture]

it takes a while and needs lots of practice to master glidecams.

[@szymi919191]

Name a camera you use to test is...?

[@geeked_up]

He has the sony a6000 and the sony a6300

[@danial_s]

Hey, anyone know if the S40 can be used with a hand, like a pistol grip? Like the Osmo or the Beholder MS-1?

[@geeked_up]

Danial Arif did you get one ?

[@colintunez]

Zhiyun crane Vs Feiyu Tech FY-MG Vs CAME-TV Optimus Gimbal vs CAME-TV Single Gimbal Vs Beholder DS1 Camera Stabilizer Vs DJI Osmo X5 Pro Vs which ever cheap one .... or which ever one..BUT FOR CANON 5DMK 3!! please ppl tell me which one makes sense to use or the best and rate them 1-6 best should be 1.. let me know thx

[@camdenkingsley8800]

gimbal no longer available on amazon.....

[@ArthurR]

Are you serious? :(

[@biblebeliever3316]

Get rekt

[@MrLumixia]

Annnnddd that is NOT how you set up a glidecam.😂
