Tilta Float | The Best Camera Stabilizer Of 2022

[@sawyerhartman]

Anybody else obsessed with stabilized camera movements and sick cinematic b roll? If so, then you're gonna be as obsessed with this new camera stabilizer as we are!! A rig like this used to cost over $50,000 and now out of left field Tilta gives us one for jsut over $1000!! What are your thoughts?? Are you gonna be picking one up??

As is the Children of Men example, and Clockwork was either a dolly or a zoom. Kind of funny. Don't know if I would have used those examples.

Wowww I absolutely do not need this, but what a revolution in tech being able to bring this concept down to a more “pro-sumer” level! 🎥

Nothing but respect for you Sawyer. You’ve been consistently creating bangers week in, week out! Been a massive influence to my content and many other peoples too. Thank you for everything! 👊

[@sawyerhartman]

I got you bro!!!

[@Ajidam]

Dude, I feel the exact opposite for this guy. You said Goodfellas was directed by Coppola? And some of those sequences in your little intro were NOT shot using a Steadicam! And you are trying to sell me this piece of crap for filmmaking and yet you know nothing about films! and you actually compare it to an ARRI Trinity???? You are a joke and should be ashamed of yourself. You are not a camera operator. You are nothing. You are the definition of a KZbinr and that is not a compliment.

[@elissitdesign]

@@Ajidam Jesus Christ calm down buddy. No need to be an asshole here.

[@pedrodelguy4911]

Goodfellas is Scorsese’s. And the sequence you are taking about is indeed from that movie. Coppola, on the other hand, shot The Godfather. Is good to learn about the films you want to talk about. Specially when your audience is mostly filmmakers. Specially if you refer to one of the best classics of all times.

[@rdeckard3324]

Plus Steadicam wasn't even invented in 1970-71, when Kubrick shot A Clockwork Orange! The opening shot of Alex must be a dolly.

[@dondouglas]

It doesn't fail, someone does something to show it generously and someone always goes looking for the problem where there isn't one. I appreciate your valuable information and I hope to see a video at the height of your intellect soon.

[@dondouglas]

[@JosephPaul4real]

True story: Your video convinced me to buy a Float 14 weeks ago, and I bought a C70 a week ago, and I didn't realize you shot this with the C70 until I watched it again just now. I'm so stoked to learn to use my new Float with my new C70. Thanks for the great video!

[@wcsdiaries]

How you liking it sofar?

[@kaililkendrick783]

Are you liking it? Do you still use it?

[@elitefamilyparkour]

There was no gimbal involed in all of the shots you mention at the beginning. Just the steadycam. The Arri Trinity did not exist before 2015 and the movies you presented are older (some waaay older) than that. One of the latest and more famous movies using the trinity was Deakins on 1917.

[@overkillphil514]

Deakins was the DoP, not even the operator! The C70 would be the heaviest camera is trust on that rig... did you see the size of the suspension arms? Tiny!

[@JustinPorterMedia]

Thought I was done buying gear, saw this video and I’m instantly sold. A problem I’ve been battling is also using cine primes and gimbals. The micro jitter is annoying and holding long takes is so fatiguing. Awesome video man. Thanks for the time you put into this!

[@EDJK_]

man brotha I can totally relate to this that’s probably one the reasons why I haven’t expressed the interest just yet to produce another Short Film with my 6K Pro because in reality I don’t have all the proper gear to build it into a beast cinema camera on the stabilization side I have a Ronin S but my 6K Pro is too bulky to fit it so now I have to get the new RS3 Pro which I saw in a video from another KZbinr filmmaker and film riot as well the 6K Pro does wonders on the new RS3 but I was still hesitant because I said to my self “man ion wanna keep dealing with constantly holding the gimbal in front of me my arms are gonna get tired my back starts to hurt and the micro jitters are the biggest cons on all gimbals then you try your best to hold still to prevent micro jittering you’re damn near gonna make yourself pass out!!! but now that I seen this Video I’m instantly SOLD on it and will be buying both the rs3 and this tilta float to combo it together im just extremely obsessed with buttery shots and steadicams are sooo expensive they make it hard for us low budget filmmakers not anymore but trust and believe I felt this comment 😭

[@JustinPorterMedia]

@@EDJK_ yo. It’s crazy how similar our issues were. So I bought it, tested it, and loved it. The one drawback is the setup time and once it’s on, it’s on. There’s no going back. For me , I’d need a person who strapped in and used this primarily at our weddings. I made a gimbal setup with the easyrig minimax that is soooo perfect. No fatigue either. I’ll be posting a video on it soon but it’s an amazing alternative to this.

[@kaililkendrick783]

[@aleckguzmanmontemayor606]

Hi. Just pitching in all the movies you mentioned were not shot with Arri trinity. Just steadicam. Which is much less expensive and there is a lower price threshold to get in to. Cheers

[@Reallskovar]

Ok I’m sold on this!

[@noahyv]

Kinda weird that half the long epic movie sequences you mentioned in the beginning justifying the need for a stabilizer were actually shot handheld. Certainly the sequences referenced from Dark Knight and Place Beyond the Pines and Children of Men were handheld. Also the tilta float costs about 4x as much as my phone...

[@aramisnature]

What do you have? A flip phone 🧐

[@noahyv]

@@aramisnature nope, I have a high-mid range phone that's about one generation old... Man if the tilta float cost only 4x as much as a flip phone (~$100) id be all over it, but it costs more than the most expensive maxed out iphone on the market...

Thanks for your reviewing 😘 it's only con that is you may need a shooting permission time to time.

[@michaelbowyer5222]

It's a belt, not a vest. I'd really like to see you or Adam do a video where you highlight the differences between this system and a DYI gimbal/stabilizer rig. Not just in terms of set up and general use but the practical on set/location differences of the Float vs. DYI. As someone with experience with steadicams on film sets I immediately noticed drawbacks to the each DYI I saw as opposed to the Float. Several videos of DYIs ignore these issues as cats seem to care more about "look what I made" verses practical use.

[@marctronixx]

the main idea of this option is simplicity of assembly. at the end of the day these stabilizers (DIYs and commercially made) are just a pole with a weight on the bottom. its 90% operator and 10% gear. master what you have and you will pull off great shots.

[@lvca.avellino]

Wonderful. Now I have a Moza Aircross2, but I think it does't work with any glidecam..

Sawyer Hi - thanks for that. Are you still using it? Can you tell me which V-mount batteries you are using and does the TF come with the mount holder as I see you have two there. Thanks, Ivan

[@formx9796]

what do you need in order to go out and shoot..? I know I need the v mount battery and what else..?

[@dondouglas]

Hello! Not a few of us feel identified with that frustration when seeing the results of a careful take. There is a lot of marketing and sponsored teams on KZbin, you always think that this will be final and the z axis does not forgive !!! DJI RS3 Pro, improves but does not solve. But a solution that attacks that problem sounds more logical than buying "the latest algorithm". So, as I thought, with 3 axes resolved, we have to go for the damn Z axis. Thank you very much for your video and for the hope! subscribed.
