Getting Started with your 4th Axis Stabilizer
Handheld gimbals are the biggest game changer in the past few years for
independent filmmakers! - You turn it on and out comes the magic footage!
But they do have their (bumpy) limitations which is why you’re here.
Our 4th Axis Stabilizers are designed to reduce that bounce that you typically see
when someone is walking with a gimbal. That vertical bounce from your steps
transferred to your hands can be mostly absorbed before it gets to the camera.
But it doesn’t stop at walking, you can go from softer motion all the way to
jumping around like crazy.
The best steadicam support arm operators usually take years
before they truly master their trade, but with our 4th Axis
Stabilizers and a handheld gimbal the learning curve is vastly
quicker to get smooth results. You might be a natural right out of
the box but most of us will need to dedicate time to getting your technique
and settings right for each shooting scenario. Follow this guide to get up to
speed as quickly as possible and you’ll soon understand the finer points about
how to get lovely smooth footage!
As there are moving parts in the stabilizer there are a
number of pinching hazards that you will need to take
care of so as not to injure yourself.
