DSLR Gimbal with 5 AXIS! Is it BETTER than 3? - FilmPower Nebula 4500

[@IgorDavid]

how the z axis know how heavy is camera and lens on gimbal? can you set strength of that spring?

[@alexworks9659]

Neat gimbal. Seems more like 4 axis rather than 5. (Vertical motion) Am I missing something? Does it take out horizontal motion? Seems like xyz in pan, tilt, roll plus vertical z.

[@JevenDovey]

Seems like 4 to me too but I think they consider both handles as an axis?

[@roxor7909]

The spring arm reduces the vertical and horizontal vibrations, as shown in the 1:47 of this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fauZkJupeMiLi6M

[@alexworks9659]

Okay, maybe I'm not seeing it. I watched that link and several videos on your site and I only see the spring mechanism actuating in the vertical direction. Unless you somehow created the worlds first double acting four link... What exactly is the 5th axis (the fore/aft axis)? Neat idea though. Maybe small screw adjustable gas pistons would dampen the "rebound" inherent in a spring only mechanism.

[@JevenDovey]

Its not my product. I just reviewed it. I think what they're saying by 5 axis is that each handle counts as an axis. It seems more like 4 axis for me too but I get that they're stretching it for the marketing term "5 axis"

[@johnhmaw]

I think you are spot on. A 5th axis would be side to side (left and right). Unless there is something that wasn't described, this is a 4 axis gimbal. The 5th axis is just marketing BS. Incidentally, you can 3D print - not 4D or 5D print ;-) - attachments that turn most 3 axis gimbals into 4 (not 5) axis gimbals. Several designs on Thingiverse.

[@MarkHarrop]

Thanks for the review on this gimbal, think I will go back to looking at 3-axis gimbals as I don't think I need the extra axis options.

[@JevenDovey]

😎😎😎

[@DonovanMediaCenter]

I am a firm believer in 4th axis spring handles...started with the Osmo, now handles added to a Tilta rig. big difference.

[@uzigalil]

i reaLLy loved this video, especially those smooth moving shots

[@JevenDovey]

Especially the ones your shot ;)

[@eszesfilms1651]

8:22 what is that jello effect at background?

[@saschathiede]

Looks great but is expensive ... I heard you can also 3D-print a Z-axis stabilizer for any gimbal. I'm going to try this out.

[@JevenDovey]

That would be cool! Let me know how it goes

[@michaeloeser]

I´m using a Crane 2 and I don´t really have that much of up/down shakes at all. So for me this is doesn´t make too much sense and you can get this Z-axis grip as an accessory if you feel you need it.

[@JevenDovey]

The Z-Axis helps with running or situations where you are moving quick. I have noticed it works well with this gimbal but not something I need all the time

[@Reyfox1]

Great review. Almost 1/3 more than the DJI Ronin S. What is the weight capacity?

[@JevenDovey]

Check on their website. It can handle big cameras

[@Drunken_Hamster]

Rare 30fps king. Love it and thank you for it. Try it with lower shutter speeds like 1/40th and 1/50th of a second to make it look a little creamier and a bit more like "traditional" low frame rate 24 and 25fps stuff.

[@JesseDeyoung]

That running shot alone sells it for me!

[@JevenDovey]

It works really well for running!

[@kelvinzyteng]

For me, i feel it is not necessary to pay more for 5 axis. If you walk properly or add wrap stabilizer will solve the problems. In the test videos, there are some jitter too. It is not perfectly smooth. So, i would save the money.

[@HarvyDangerFilms]

Great, honest review Jeven.

[@JevenDovey]

Thanks! 😎

[@serag6308]

Thanks for the review man... One question, in the demonstration footage at the beginning there is a shot done with a roll move... It's kinda "jumpy" not smooth, and I was wondering if this is an intended post choice (kinds of syncs with the beat)... Because if not, then the roll feature of this gimbal is pretty crappy..? Thanks!

[@chosenideahandle]

Interesting! Thanks for this man.

[@JevenDovey]

😎😎😎😎

[@OzzieTech]

Great video and nicely put together. A interesting gimble but disappointed with the lack of built in controls.

[@JevenDovey]

Yeah its a bummer but honestly all you need is to be able to switch between the modes. However, a thumb controller would help to make it more convenient

[@787UrbanApparel]

.... very powerful gymbal 💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪 Not even too expensive... saw it on EBay for $550

[@JevenDovey]

Not bad! Ebay is a great place to get deals!

[@nic53188]

I have the Nebula 4200 but when adding the battery grip to the GH5 or GH5S, it can't handle it. Have you tried this one with the grip on? I really need to upgrade to something that can handle it.

[@pooyafitness]

The extra axis is not really gimbal. It is only a spring which introduces some other artifacts. If only it was o true gimbal that would be awesome.

[@truenorth365]

Kinda hard to focus on the technical and gimbal-performance when filming that beautiful woman! LOL Looks like a really neat gimbal, how is the portability aspect? Thanks for yet another great gadget video. Thumbs up from Sweden

[@JevenDovey]

Haha you'll love my next gimbal review too! This gimbal is portable for sure. Easy to throw in my camera backpack and take anywhere

[@georgeaura]

That button location should be in one of the hand grips

[@JevenDovey]

Yup

[@jefferson.castillo]

Great video!

[@w.w.7148]

So why do you still walk/run in this safe short gimbal step style?

[@BrianBrayMedia]

Why not? It can only help, right?

[@w.w.7148]

Brian Bray Not really as this not necessary for this type of gimbal. Or maybe it's not better than the regular ones out there.

[@JevenDovey]

I explained in the video that you still need to do a slight gimbal walk. It cuts out a ton of the movement but if you are just running with it and not thinking about the shot you'll definitely still get bumps

[@FamilyofTech]

Cool video. Question. What is the name of the effect on minute 1:49 where you transition from one place to the next. What transition is that?

[@JevenDovey]

Yup I just keyframed a mask to cut away as I moved between shots. If people are interested I'll do a video on how to do this easily

[@FamilyofTech]

Jeven Dovey please do. I ask everybody and everyone gives me diffrent answers

[@MisguidedSage]

Isn't that just 4 axis? The up/down motion is along the Z axis; are you counting both handles as individual axis? I'm confused. Gimbal and footage looks good though 👍👍

[@JevenDovey]

They're considering being able to move side to side with the dual handles to be the 5th axis.

[@MisguidedSage]

@@JevenDovey ahh kk; thanks 👍

[@ferik.-aerodron1854]

great video thank you for sharing

[@JevenDovey]

Thank You!!

[@felixtrevino5719]

Question. I just got it cause I saw it here. But now I'm getting some vibration. Does this happened to you? Do you know how to fix it?

[@FlyByFrancis]

wow this is great.

[@JevenDovey]

Thanks!

[@hippopictures]

Hi, what if our camera has IBIS, say 3 axis, if we coupled it with a 3 axis gimbal, would that give us a total of 6 axis stabilisation?

[@ChadDidNothingWrong]

No because those would both be stabilizing rotation. You need the other 2 (or 3 lol) to be stabilizing actual linear movement, What you're referring to would just give you a 3 axis gimbal with alot more range of rotation.

[@RICKHALBUR]

Thanks Jeven very nice review how is the wife doing hope she is fine thanks again for all the fine tips

[@JevenDovey]

Thanks!

Only Ninjas don´t need that :)

Hey Jeven, cant wait to start your courses, can you recommend sources for courses for Adobe Pr and Ae, successfully created a couple of projects with help from this community but KZbin, as good as it is, from what I have seen, most show follow along stuff, they are great but I don't want to rely on them

[@JevenDovey]

I'm not sure for Adobe Pr. I don't use Adobe's products for editing. Only photography. Have you looked on Lynda.com or Skillshare? Theres a ton of course websites out there and some that have very detailed editing courses

[@caltravels9454]

Thanks

Do you think about traveling to Germany? We have awesome landscape: Search for "Elbsandsteingebirge" and form an opinion.

[@JevenDovey]

Someday we'll travel to Germany!

[@benec5816]

Very well built looking item but like you said a specialized piece of kit but it does work great but I couldn't use it because the sound would be ruined with me doing tat tat ta ttttttaaaatttt and chasing targets with it as it looks like a 50 caliber mount sorry I could not resist it stay safe and don't ban me ha ha

[@seenaspat]

But it’s an 8mm lens 🤔

[@theoell2049]

You speak about gimbal but your videographer doesn't use one :)

[@Russeljrjs]

You look like Johnny Sins

[@EVOlutionHTC4g]

Good review, but this gimbal is not for me. There are better and cheaper options.

[@chosenideahandle]

Please share what options you're talking about for 5-axis gimbals.

[@JevenDovey]

There are better 5-axis gimbals? Or just gimbals in general?
