what is up guys my name is Mario and on this video we're gonna check out this
camera stabilizer made by a company named a shanks we're gonna go over the
details and we're gonna cover some of the information that you need to know
before you actually purchase one so make sure you stay until the end of this
video so one of the things that you need to make sure before you actually
purchase one is to make sure that the actual a stabilizer is compatible with
the camera so depending on the weight of the camera you're gonna have to actually
purchase the actual stabilizer that it's going to be compatible with it so for
example I'm using actually the one of the smaller sizes of the stabilizers
because I have a smaller camera so if I am to go and purchase one of the bigger
stabilizers and I'm using a small camera it is gonna be hard to actually keep the
balance and it's gonna be almost impossible to stabilize it so first
looking at the design of the stabilizer so this stabilizer is made of metal
pretty much it feels pretty solid and it's well made I had it for a couple of
weeks now and I haven't had any issues using it so far so starting from the
bottom on the bottom you have the actual weight plate where you actually can
adjust it weights of it so it this one actually comes with different weights so
depending on the again depending on the weight of your camera as you're
balancing it out you're probably gonna have to add or remove some of the
weights on the bottom it is very easy to adjust you don't even need to have any
tools you can easily remove or add the weights as you need on the bottom or you
can actually move them towards the center or towards the outer position of
the plate so this is going to help you or give you a more precise balance for
the stabilizer also as you want to keep it more precise
you're gonna be able to actually extend the pole or the actual stabilizer or you
can make it smaller all of this is going to come into place when you're trying to
balance a stabilizer and right on the bottom you're gonna have this rubber
feed which is going to allow you to extend it up on a table and ensuring you
don't actually scratch any of the surface of the tables that you're using
moving further up you're gonna have the handle so these handles actually it
feels okay I mean it's not the greatest but it's not bad at all I remember this
is a budget-friendly camera stabilizer it is gonna have some foam material
which is going to allow you to have better grip another downside is that
you're not able to actually adjust a handle up or down if you want to extend
the pole so by regardless you can still work around it and make it
work for you moving into the top of the camera stabilizer you're gonna notice
that it's going to come with two different release plates what I like
about this is that it's very easy to Adam remove the plate and you can
actually adjust it forward back or left to right as you need we just quickly
releasing the plate a little bit and then adjust and as you need it as you're
balancing the stabilizer on the side of each plate you're going to have an
actual measuring guide which is going to allow you to have a more precise balance
and also you can actually remember the measurements so in the future when you
already have your camera set up and you won't be making any adjustments you can
just pop your camera in and slide the actual plates as you need it or where
you had last time you had it and it was working and you're good to go and you
only have to make minor adjustments and you don't have to balance a whole
stabilizer from scratch every time you use it on the side of each plate you
also have a tourney knob which is going to have a bobble balance which is going
to help you if your I get to be trying to shoot straight to the floor but I
really don't know exactly what was the purpose of this as you're actually
trying to balance it it doesn't really serve a purpose one thing that is very
important to know is that you have to have your camera set up exactly the same
way you're going to be using it before you actually balance the stabilizer
something that's more like adding a sim card
changing the battery changing the lens or just a lens cap it's going to throw
off the balance so make sure that your camera is ready to go exactly on how
you're gonna use it and how you're going to record before you start balancing the
stabilizer so I'm getting ready to balance my stabilizer I make sure I
added a sim card I have the actual LCD screen position and the way I want it
and I already add in my lens and I make sure I remove the actual lens protector
the first thing I want to do is I want to make sure I do it drop test so this
is a first for me this is the first step I want to do before I start balancing
the camera so as you can see right now this is supposed to actually drop so
what this means is that I have too much weight on the top and not enough weight
in the bottom so what we can do is we're gonna actually extend the pole a little
bit see if this is going to help so we extended the pole now it's actually
dropping too fast so what we want to do is we want to just sit a little bit
let's get it closer up there
so now that we adjusted I think we got a word we needed it to be it's it the
draft test should be between two to three seconds when you let go as a to
the point where you let go and to the point where it needs to reach down so as
you can see we have 2001 2002 2003 so you get the point I mean it does take
time to balance it especially if you're pretty you can take your few hours once
you become a pro I'm pretty sure you can do it in a few minutes so for me it
still takes time so the next step that you want to do to balance the stabilizer
is you want to adjust the actual weight of the cameras its tilting forward of
its tilt into one of the sides so first we start by actually checking out the
front tilt so we move it around a little bit as you can see it's actually tilting
forward so what we do is just basically we're going to release the plate a
little bit and we're going to slide it back slide the camera back a little bit
so once we feel that we get the actual front and back tilt adjust it the next
thing that we want to do is is balance the left-to-right tilt and again we just
have to really have to plate a little bit and adjust the plate as we need it
using the guiding rules that we have on the side of each plate
so once you have your camera pretty close to where it needs to be the camera
really shouldn't be wobbling or moving from left to right again it's going to
take time for you to do it just once you practice you get used to it you get your
camera settings where you need them to be will become much easier to start
using it so once you have the camera balance there's two more things you have
to keep in mind that just because you have a camera stabilizer doesn't mean
you're gonna have clean shots you actually have to make sure that as your
movement your movement doesn't reflect on the actual camera stabilizer so you
have to actually do what they call it a lean walk so there's a lot of videos out
there you can watch on how to on how you can improve your movement as you're
actually shooting the videos another thing that you want to keep in mind is
that you can use your fingers to just tap the front of the stabilizer just to
make sure the camera is not actually moving around so this is going to help
you as you're moving around just keeping the camera pointing to the direction
that you want and keeping it from actually just moving around or ending
and then I'll point into the wrong direction so this was my review of the
camera stabilizer made by a shanks again this this is gonna cost you around fifty
fifty-five dollars it's not gonna be the most expensive one or the cheapest one I
think it's something that it's gonna be good it's gonna cost you around this
price again it's not going to be easier to do it from the get-go it does take
some time to get used to it I was a new user for one of these I never used one
before and I can tell you at first it was a little bit hard trying to get it
to balance but I'm using it more every day and on each video that I do it's
becoming a lot easier to do it if you're looking for another way to improve the
content of your videos and you don't want to spend a lot of money definitely
looking into getting one of these I think it's worth the money if you want
to go check it out I'll leave a link in the description below let me know have
you questions concerns in the comment section below remember I'm not a
professional videographer I do this as a hobby and I'm actually learning as to go
so if there's anything I can help with reach out to me let me know
thank you for watching healthy attachment
