As a videographer who has experienced both for weddings, I can honestly say I prefer my glidecam over my studio's Ronin-S. The Ronin is a great gimbal and is very reliable. If you're new to video and want to jump into the fray, it's a good tool. However I find myself loving not just that organic feel to the glidecam, but the learning you get as an operator. Plus, rebalancing on a gimbal can get messy and the motors might struggle. With a glidecam, it's all just balancing all the axises.

And cheaper hahaha... But yeah i agree with you. Especially because my favorite way of shooting is in almost steadily way. don't like smooth-dynamic-gimbal-whatever movement, but stay in place or a little of walking. But when i stand to shoot i always want a little smooth movement of the camera. The problem with handheld is that sometimes its shaky. I don't really much using tripod. Too static. And tool like glidecam is very fit for me because it has, like you said, natural feel of movement

@@SEANLIGHTZTV that’s not true, if a gimbal was inherently better nobody would use a glidecam.

Electronic gimbals look better than steadicam if you have limited to no experience but as your skill goes up the steadicam looks better and better whereas the electronic gimbal becomes less organic looking

Glidecam is not only a tool. Its the way you think as an operator, you have to tell the story by movement of your body, its like a painting or dancing. You can be the perfect printer or you can be an artist. In my opinion gimbals are for people who knows what to do with glidecam not in a reverse.

I have been shooting on a Glide Cam HD2000 for about 5 years now. I purchased the old Ronin M thinking it would work better surely a $1200 gimbal would do better than a $500 steadicam but I returned in after using it 3 times. Bought a Ronin SC thinking the same thing and returned it after about a month of use. Glidecam just feel so much more organic to me.

The biggest difference between a glidecam and a gimbal for me is that the glide cam produces way more natural motion, but if you want to track focus you need a focus puller. The major advantage of a gimbal is that your left hand is free to adjust focus.

If you're a freelancer it's great to have both. Honestly, just buy a very cheap glidecam, it servers the same, but do invest into a better gimbal, cause it involves electronics, functions and other perks. Glidecam is really good for simple one angle shots, it's more wavy and results into a really cinematic looks, but it takes loads of practice to frame and to have a good composition. I've been using a glidecam for 2 years now and only now I can nail the composition. Gimbal is more of a robotic smooth kind of thing, it's great if you need different angles, cause you wont need to rebalance the whole thing and it will stay on one angle while filming, but it wont feel as cinematic. Gimbal is great if you're freelancing and you need to film things quick and nail the composition and angles, it's made for that. So yeah honestly just get both of those if you're able, I got my glidecam for 50$ from aliexpress, it's a yelangu s60t i believe, honestly 5 years and it's still holding up and is serving it's purporse, nothing is broken and it works great!

Great VIDEO. I've recently picked up a Used Glidecam HD 4000 with quick release plate for a super good price and I've been working on using it now. I recently had it on my 1dxii however I sold that fora an XT3 and I find it much easier to operate as it's A LOT lighter. Sure there are shots that a Gimbal can get that a Glidecam cannot however, like you mentioned I think the slight movement or more natural movement actually is more appealing to the eye and ads to the shot over the extreme steadiness of the gimbal. I think some filmmakers "I know I was guilty" of this when I first started shooting video, want that absolutely super steady footage. Everything needs to be 100% smooth ect. However if you're telling a story and depending on the shot a little motion can go a long way.

I personally don’t think they look similar at all. The glidecam footage is so smooth and natural even with little bumps here and there. The gimbal footage is so tense and the movement is so clearly robotic side by side like this (to me, at least) I’ve only ever used a gimbal (crane 3 lab) on a job before and I’ve been looking to grab a glidecam. It may be more work to figure out the glidecam but that might be a sign that it’s the better way to go. Idk. Gotta see

I have a Canon XA30. I'll be using it soon for a permaculture documentary. There are a few things I'm wanting to do: 1. Steady footage with face detection mode whilst moving/walking 2. More creative shots, such as from low down, looking up 3. Focus pulling to provide more interest My research has led me to believe a gimbal will be better for me than a mechanical glidecam kit. I'm also considering whether a should rig will assist me, but I'm not sure how I'll go accessing controls on the XA30, specifically for focus pulling. Advice much appreciated.

Marcus' orbit was really impressive and much better than I could do! I personally love the low mode and transitioning from that to a high wide shot. Unfortunate he didn't nail that.

Where I see the complete benefit of the glide came is better control over zoom and you mic wont get cut in the motor. To me, as a ronin S owner, not being able to capture audio on the fly makes a lot of my footage mute the volume and put audio underneath it. I think that is great, but I want to be able to have flexibility with my clients. If someone is watching this and thinking well shoot, they are the same price. I would say buy the glidecam because this video is true in the sense learning the gimbal is pretty easy. Learn the hard thing first but also have the benefit of hooking an external mic to the camera. Disclaimer: you can hook up a mic to your gimbal set up but it can get caught up when you do pans and rolls. For me? I'd rather not have the mic on in those scenerios because its not worth the trouble. All in all, this is a pretty vanilla video "Both are great", they are great but there are more pros and cons I did not feel this video explored enough.

I'd say the gimbal has more troubles with smooth movements, such as tilt down shot from the building. The motor stops are all so robotic and mechanical, you can see where the camera stops and re-adjusts for the next direction. Is that adjustable because my DJI phone gimbal is never smooth with combined pan/tilt movements. You can always tell when you let off of the move, it never slows down before stopping.

I personnally had the glidecam HD 2000 and used it for many years. It is a tricky tool and is difficult to get right. If you go sideways with the glidecam, it's almost impossible to keep the frame parallel to the ground, it's gonna look tilted toward the direction you're going despite your best efforts. Rotating around an a subject is also tricky because one most turn the shaft with the fingers to keep the subject in frame while walking, looking at the screen and paying attention where they're going. Too much or too little input on the shaft and the subject wont be centered anymore. Any movement on the shaft will 100% be noticeable in post prod. And it's very painful on your arm after 15 minutes of holding this thing. Remember, the more weight you add, the more stable it is, but the harder it becomes to hold in the air.

To me, having used a glidecam it's more of a craft and a skill that you learn and get better at over time. The gimbal has a little learning curve but you can essentially operate it out of the box. I wish I could get those extra smooth clinical looking shots on my glidecam though but I'll take the tradeoff of having something that feels like a tool, doesn't need batteries, over a mechanical stabilizer any day.

the glidecam looks a lot smoother in majority of the shots, even with slight wobble, they're slow enough that you don't notice a major shift, and seems to be a more natural follow, even in the low shot, while his did shift up and down a bit more it was so slow and smooth it just seemed like natural movement for the camera. in a lot of the gimbal's shots the up and down/left and right panning were much faster and more jerky, like it takes a second for the gimbal to realize a change in motion so it ramps up quickly to catch up then stops suddenly, also the amount of micro jitter from the gimbal almost makes it unwatchable, you can definitely tell the motors are trying to compensate for the camera's shift in weight/direction. as a whole I would have to give the edge to the glidecam for overall smoothness and non robotic micro jerks that produce the very quick start stop motion when the motors need to catch up to any change in direction.

We operate ours with our c200 as well. Its annoying to strip it down but keep in mind the glidcam has its own draw backs like if you are wanting to change lenses or zoom in a bit on a zoom lens you have to rebalance it. With the gimbal small changes can be handled by the motors. It is nice not having to worry about extra power with the glidecam but it there are benefits and challenges on both sides

Now I've choose a used Glidecam over a lot of different choices about electronic gimbles which are pretty affordable from second hands in our city. The reason: I need to learn a proper practice 1st. Also I don't want to worry about rain and etc. My camera isn't completely waterproof but the manufacturer claims that it's "weather sealed". And the sub-obvious reason is that I've watched a lot of clips shot on gimbles... And I've seen only few of them which weren't looking "robotic". If some Chinese manufacturer will make a waterproof gimble with a decent battery then I'll buy it _probably._ But I will not sell this great "videographer's axe"! :) It's a bit heavy as I've got HD-2000. But it will be fine for bigger DSLR cameras. Not only for the one that I have now.

The shots are not similar at all. Gimbal footage is super robotic and not smooth at all. It's obvious in every single pan: pan-gimbal catchess up,pan-gimbal catches up. Follow shots as well. Not organic like a glidecam, not as good as a dolly. Jack of all trades, master of none. If you want to say its operator driven, he blows you out of the water, its not even close.

glidecam is fine if you have skill to use it. gimbal is if your a novice and just want smoother and less shakey looking video. I like glidecam because its all manual. no electronics to mess around with. and really smooths out micro vibrations.

Great content. I couldn't help but notice the title is redundant, as both of these are gimbals. One is just motorized, the other is not.

I have both, but never use the Glidecam as it has some serious limitations, like panning and tilting and when it is windy.

Glidecam looks so much better, much more natural. Gimbals make everything look like a computer game, it’s actually too steady. It’s the same when comparing steadicam to the bigger gimbals on features. Steadicam wins hands down.

It’s funny but the Steadicam has a smooth cinematic feel. Gimbal looked smooth video. Am going for cinema steadicam. My point is Steadicam feels authentic and gimbal perfect. Digital , Film. Authentic film not perfect video...great video and thanks for doing it. Beautiful equipment

Is 5 month that I use a steadycam..... Is an hard job. No fun after 30min, it is an hard job with not so nice results. Soon I will pass to gimbal.

Hey what were the camera + lenses used. There’s definitely a difference and prefer the motion of a glidecam. But I am also suspecting I do like the look of the glidecam footage more and I’m feeling it’s due to the lens.

Hey Gandharv, this was shot on the sony A7sii with the 24-105 lens I beleive. amzn.to/35kWmsC definitely my favorite and most versatile lens choice. I moved to Canon so am actually filming on this one now: amzn.to/3xqT4zU

Gimbal is stable but struggle maintaining subject at center... GlideCam can maintain subject at center better but little unstable...

So to see which is better for a beginner, you use 2 experts on each relative device. It would have been better to use a beginner to see which one is better for a beginner.

Question: if my camera has severe rolling shutter problems and it is only capable of 30fps. Would you recommend Glider or Gimbal for cinematic recordings?
@Movesmedia
@Movesmedia 4 жыл бұрын
Both will be similar but glidecam will take you much longer to master. So I'd suggest gimbal for your situation but maybe upgrading your camera before either....
