Camera stabilization Flycam 5000 and comfort arm vest review

Back


This is a video I made for a company selling the flycam with strap-on vest.
PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME SPECIFICS ABOUT CINECITY PRODUCTS - YOU NEED TO CONTACT THEM DIRECT. - I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAMERA MODELS FIT WHICH STABILIZERS!

THE FLYCAM 5000 IS A MUCH BETTER MODEL THAN THE U-FLYCAM, SO I WOULD RECCOMEND YOU GO FOR THAT MODEL IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT. THATS ABOUT ALL I CAN TELL YOU!

Could you use this with something a little more heavy duty? Like say... a Sony PMW-EX1?

It is still not smooth, i think this is down to your camera weight being too light.

how about Steadicam Merlin or Steadicam Pilot??

If you can afford them, go for it. I only do filmmaking on a low-budget.

Rick you will get 500% better results by controlling the camera by lightly grabbing around the "gimbal" not lower on the camera pole. by holding the pole lower down as you are you are actually killing some of the stability. Look at a feww steadicam online how tos and GENTLY hold the gimble.. letting the flycam do the work. cheers

My camera system (with dof-adapter) weighs about 9-9,5 lbs. Do you think it`s to heavy for the flycam 5000?

sorry, I am unsure of this information, it's better to ask the company that make them (thecinecity)

Ebay has two shops. The first is thecinecity, and the second is called DV-shop23. Which is the right one?

I think it's the same company.
