Hi hello, I am Rodrigo Abarca and today we will see the best Steadycam.
Before starting with the video as such, I want to thank The Cam Gear that
They were the ones who sent me the steadycam to show it on the channel so
obviously super grateful for that and in this video I will show you obviously
the product as such and also the results that you can get
with a Steadycam. The product comes in a suitcase and that's pretty good
especially for when we want to travel or transport things in a way
super easy, so without a doubt that's a big point in favor. When opening the bag what
first that we are going to find is a instruction manual that sincerely
I find that it's pretty good about all for people who do not know
absolutely nothing of Steadycam them will serve a lot, but, there is a but,
is that it comes in English, so if not They know English, well, that's also why
this video that I will explain exactly how everything works, but it's
Good to know what that also comes from. Then we found the Steadycam as such
It comes divided into three parts. First We found the head, which is where we can
Put our camera obviously. Then We have the pole that comes with the gimbal.
And without a doubt what I like most about this one gimbal compared to other Steadycam
is that you can unscrew it and You can move it from position. Then for
example, I can use it the way classic or if I even want to make shots
at ground level with the camera, also You can do it easily. And finally
we have the base where the counterweights also go.
There are 8 counterweights on each side. Is good heavy in reality, and that's actually
because the steadycam comes to bear 12 lbs approximately, so it's
enough weight. It is ideal for cameras dslr, for mirrorless cameras and even more
for video cameras too. So that, so that they take it into account. And by
Last we found some accessories like screws, keys and other things
that come pretty good Build this Steadycam is extremely easy. Simply
we have to take the post and screw it into the base. That's what you have to
consider that some also come screws, and what if abc reason
we do not tighten it well, the steadycam will be loose and for
So, that means you take them, they're not going to stay for nothing good. So you have to
Consider that from the moment we start turning it. That is the most
tight possible. And then when it's ready this, we have to put the head
and for that we have to draw two screws that come in the part of
down. Then we put the head in the pole and we simply return them to
screw and has no greater science than that, so it's pretty easy.
Stabilizing the camera is a little more complicated compared to arming it and it's
absolutely normal it does not matter if it's a very cheap steadycam or a very expensive one,
in all it applies exactly the same. But with practice it will be
absolutely fine and for that what We have to consider
Well, here is the steadycam, and that is that the steadycam has to be exactly in this
position. That is, straight. You can not go neither to the right, nor to the left, nor
forward, nor backward. When the steadycam is really straight,
means that we have achieved correct stabilization. And how is it done?
this? Well, there are several steps that we are going to see now. The first thing is the
base, and at the base as I was saying, we have eight pesos per side. But
this obviously we do not have to use them all if we have a camera
livianita, like a rebel canon, some mirrorless like those of sony,
panasonic, I do not know. We can occupy 3 or 2 weights even. It will always depend obviously
of the camera that we are using US. So in my case I used
three weights per side and that was enough. The next thing is to stretch or
bail the post. We just have to drop here and by doing this, we
We can stretch the post in case we need to regulate a bit or we can
shrink it That also obviously goes to depend on the weight we have with the
camera and certainly one of the most important to achieve
stabilization and as I was saying, that the camera does not go anywhere, it's
that the head is exactly straight, and for this compared to other
Steadycams, certainly is much better. In fact, it's what I liked most about this steadycam.
When we wanted to move the head, the cookie in this case, towards a
side or towards the other or forward and backwards very precisely not
we have to unscrew it and move it manually, but simply by turning
these bolts that are here, these screws, we can make the
head moves. Then, achieve stabilization but in a very much
more precise, with this steadycam in particular, it's great. And the last step
to know if it's really stable, it's that when we put the steadycam in this
position and let it fall, fall between two to three seconds of speed. In this
case, as you can see here, it's super fast. Well, I do not even have a camera and the
weights are all but when we have achieved exactly the weight we want
with the camera with the certain lens that we have chosen and we have removed the weights
unnecessary, this has to fall between two to three seconds. Anyway, if
they want to achieve stabilization perfect and learn exactly also
how to use a steadycam, they will have a video here. A card is appearing
here and there they can review everything with greater depth. The first thing we have
what to consider to use it, is that we have to take the gimbal here with a hand
right or left. That really gives the same. In the strongest possible way. By
example this case as you can see, having all the weight of the steadycam with
This hand. And then, with the hand that over, in this
case is my right hand, I take it with the as much care as possible, in fact with the
fingertip. Simply by itself I want to turn the steadycam or in case
I want him to be straight to guide her. When I take the Steadycam, in this case
here the post, in this way for example, I remove all the protection that performs
this and obviously you are going to see the shots unstable So remember, with your hand
right or left we take the gimbal very strong, and with the remaining hand, we take
very slowly, with the tips of your fingers simply, to be able to guide the Steadycam.
As for the subject of walking, obviously it influences and the idea is that, there is not
exact way of walking, but obviously we try to cushion the
Steps. That is, we do not go walking very fast, or we always leave
worrying that the steadycam is in the same position, and that if we
we move our body up, down or to the sides, that the steadycam
always go as stable as possible, that it is the idea of this at the end. The video that
are watching then it was recorded camera in hand, and the video you are going to see
now, it was recorded with the steadycam exactly in the same position. And how
You can see, the difference is abysmal. Actually, there is no comparison between recording
camera in hand to a steadycam, but I did not just want to show you this
small video so they can see the differences, but I also want
show them a small video test like those that I always like to do here in the
channel, so they can also see a fragment of what can be achieved with
this steadycam.
The value of this aesthetic called Flowcam DGS is $ 185 (approximately). Worth it
Really? I recommend it? And my answer is absolutely yes. It's true, there are steadycams
which are much cheaper than this one, but actually this steadycam like
such, it does not even compete with those steadycams. Of this, we could say that it is a little
more premium in terms of what it is quality of construction, the weight that
supports Well, as we can see here, in a much more accurate way to be able
achieve the correct stabilization. Compete in reality with steadycams from
approximately $ 500 up. So to have this price that is
for $ 185 (approximately) which is super cheap, well, I would not even really think about it.
So if you are really interested and believe that it really goes
with your project, they will have a link here in the description of this video so that
can review it I'm even going to leave them a link to what the page is
Cam Gear official website so they can also check all the others
products that are pretty cool. Y Well I hope you liked this
video and as always we'll see you in the next
of Colato Films. Goodbye Nica. A, no, lie. One moment.
Goodbye Nicanor!
