So in a previous video of mine, I talked about the Slypod Pro and how you can get
cinematic shots with it and what it is and basically how to use it and that kind of thing,
and then I also mentioned that you could use it with a gimbal
either the Aircross 3 or the Aircross 2. I've got the Aircross 3 here so in this video I'm
going to show you how to use the Slypod Pro with the Aircross 3 to get different kind of shots.
So if you haven't already the first thing that you want to do is download the app on your phone
and then whilst that's doing that if you haven't got it already the next thing you can do
is actually balance the camera on the gimbal. So I'm gonna quickly do that and show you
how you can do that as well. So I'm just locking off two of the axes and I'm gonna just basically
move these bits up and down, move each part, sorry, up and down until
it's basically balanced.
So once that's balanced unlock all the points, all the axes and then
you can just switch on the gimbal and if it's balanced it shouldn't move when you unlock
everything, nothing should fall in any kind of direction, it should pretty much stay relatively
where it is if you've balanced it correctly.
So once you've balanced the gimbal and you've switched it on and you've switched on the Slypod
then you want to start linking everything in the app, so I'm going to do the Slypod first
and then I'm going to go back out and I'm going to link the Aircross 3 as well.
Sometimes it takes a while. Cool, so once you've got both of them connected to the app then you
just want to hit Linkage Control, confirm and then this plus up in the top right here and then that's
going to allow you to - if I can do it - that's gonna allow you to add the Slypod or whichever
way you did – whichever way around you did it. So the first thing I'm gonna do is set my path
points for the gimbal, so I'm gonna select the pan and tilt function here and just drag it around.
Just turn it round, turn it around again and I'm just going to start it over
in this direction over here. I'm going to add that point and then I'm going to add another point and
I'm going to just move it this way. I'm just going to just do a really obvious move just so that you
can see it moving whilst it is all connected and when I start the whole motion and I'm going to add
that point then when you've added all the points, I'm just doing two points but on the last point
I'm going to add my arrival time and so I want this to last, let's say,
let's do nine seconds. I'm going to confirm that and then once you've done that you want to
add your Slypod moves so you're going to switch to Segmentation, let's just see, so it's going to
start retracted and then I'm going to make it come out to where can you see it until,
let's say, there. You can still see it at that point yeah and I can just show you
how it moves as well. Okay let's go– let's go to there,
so that's the Slypod and I'm also just gonna add eight seconds to the Slypod, to the Slypod as well
then once you've done that do set up complete and then basically start
and it's going to return to zero. No idea what it just did then,
why it went out first but it sets it all back to zero and then
you can see it all moving
So that's essentially all you need to do for that
and I feel like there's a bit of a delay on the Aircross 3 because that stopped moving
after the Slypod had finished so I'm gonna do it again and just see if it does the same thing.
So I kind of know what happened in terms of the gimbal finishing before the Slypod. When I was
looking back through my footage I realized I had actually put the timings differently for
each one I just managed to scroll a little bit quicker or just not get it precise so I
think the Slypod was at nine seconds and the, no the Slypod was at eight seconds and the gimbal
was at nine seconds so that's something to be aware of if you're using this just make sure
that the timings match otherwise you get that mismatch of motion. So yeah definitely my error,
but anyway I hope the video was useful in some way just seeing me use it and set it
all up and go through the whole motions and yeah thanks for watching catch you in the next video.
