Hey look what I have here this is human
and a gimbal for point-and-shoot cameras
I can almost hear you say hey wait a
minute that's not a point-and-shoot
camera
that's a GoPro Hero 5 grade and you're
right
this symbol can support from four point
four ounces to twenty-two point nine
ounces which means you can mount an
action camera smartphone or
point-and-shoot camera and even at Sony
6500 with a small lens
[Music]
and here it is and it comes in a James
Bond style case if I had a music like
this in the background while putting
this Gimbels together you can feel like
a secret agent man that is assembling a
baton 50 caliber hello Agent P double oh
this is crane and it is 499 dollars on
Amazon it comes with two or three
thousand six hundred million per hour
batteries and according to shield
websites
it has 12 to 18 hours operating time the
three models on it has unlimited
rotation ability and when 864 grams with
batteries your mission should you choose
the acceptance to take this device and
see what it is capable of I've been
using this more than a month and now I
think its language really good
now we're really good fat but there was
one point where we didn't like each
other at points where this happens as
you can see this gimbal has a tripod
mount right here and I have this little
thing from alkie going to mount it here
so I can leave it on the table like this
now I will not suggest using this with
this gimbal because this is plastic and
it's not strong enough but for our video
purposes it is fine let's look at the
difference between handheld and crane M
while walking and running up the stairs
as you can see with crane em comes great
stabilization but keep in mind that it
is a little hefty for example this setup
weighs 1273 grams which is 2 pounds and
13 ounces also as you can guess the
entire system is top-heavy and since the
handle is not economic and slippery it
tends to tire your hands a little faster
so you need a good grip I'm thinking
about wrapping a tennis / grip on the
handle to make things easier for me
balancing and controlling a professional
stabilizer like Steadicam Merlin - takes
time and practice the results are
extremely rewarding but if you don't
have the patience for it it may not be
your thing on the other hand balancing
and controlling train em is extremely
easy and you don't need to practice at
all it follows your lead and makes
things as smooth as possible for you
now it's still running
let's switch to a lighter setup let's
mount the GoPro and see what that looks
like
when its frame and mount gopro weighs
167 grams which is five point eight
ounces so it is really close to crane
and minimum 125 grams 4 point 4 ounces
weight limit but it still performs
really good still can't make up for
GoPro Hero 5 flex ridiculously bad audio
quality but hey at least you can collect
a mic to your GoPro and still mount it
on the gimbal if you like
now let's talk about the most important
thing when it comes to Gimbels and that
is balancing if you don't balance it
right you're going to have a bad time
let's play with the balance let's take
everything off let's ruin every
everything and now I'm going to show you
how easy it is to balance first we begin
with mounting our camera and then you're
going to hold it from this side and
you're going to make sure that it is
looking forward not that it's looking
forward and then the second thing is
going to unscrew this you're going to
bring this to level and in that level it
should say and we angle C and then we're
going to balance this so easy to when in
doubt shake it a little bit and then I'm
going to balance this
as you can see this can rotate in 316
every angle as long as it's not hitting
of course anything long and it is
balanced and it's going to work as you
wish
so now when you first turn it on it will
follow left and right but it will not
follow up and down you can use the
joystick to make it look down or up if
you hit more button once it will stop
following anything will face in the same
direction
no matter how you hold it and if you use
the joystick you can make it look around
look up and down and if you double click
it will follow you no matter where you
look and in this situation you can use
the joystick for tilt if you hit it
three times turns into selfie mode you
can also get every boat and you can do
more or less anything with the remote as
you can see I can change it to selfie
mode turn back you can rotate it may
look up and down if you're a one-man
band this comes in really handy but on
top of that of course you can use your
phone to control the gimbal as well now
let's turn the remote off because you
cannot use the app and the remote at the
same time and let's go into Sheen
assistant app and here you touch connect
let me select crane and as you can see
it is connected you can go into control
in the control mode I can select follow
lock or full and let's say lock as you
can see I can move it in any direction I
like you can go into calibration and
calibrate your gimbal
if something is wrong with it if you
want to upgrade as you can see the arrow
looks down when and when you touch it
this notification shows up on the screen
you cannot update your gimbal using your
phone right now you have to use your
computer and then we have the stabilizer
settings which is really important all
these things up here it's ok it can
adjust as you can play with them as you
wish but down here it says camera
control and under that it says
manufacturer and under that it says
strength now this is where it becomes
tricky let's say set it to medium and
then save now this feels like it is
saved but it is not fade until you turn
this off and turn it back home and as
you can see in the wrong settings it
already started shaking go back to
stabilizer settings go down set the
strength to weak hit save
nothing has changed right don't worry
turn it off turn it back home and
everything is fine so you may find a lot
of videos on YouTube which is what
happened to me when mine was shaking
like that I did a search on YouTube and
I found a lot of videos showing that the
skin was shaking like this and this is
the reason and the solution is extremely
easy as you see this manufacturer on top
of it which is another great feature
Shion crane M has and that is you can
get this micro USB to micro USB cable
from them it has to be this cable I
bought a random micro USB to micro USB
cable which I cannot find right now and
that didn't work it supports model rx
series 8 series QX series and all Sony
mirrorless cameras also it says support
Panasonic's gh4 I know let's put the
cable on there's a little L and a big L
the little L goes on the gimbal and the
big one you gotta make sure this doesn't
get tangled go
here upside down for the rx series
there's one catch you have to turn on
the gimbal first and turn on the camera
as you can see I can bloom or take photo
or take video just using the controls
here as soon as I entered here while the
security was checking my bag this was
being treated like a selfie stick so
keep that in mind it's not a selfie
stick and in time they will know the
difference but right now it's being
treated like a selfie stick so that's
why I can I go in to the museum and use
this crane and is also very quiet
so what happens if you mount a camera
above crane m's recommended weight limit
to taste this I added some ways next to
my camera and the result is a little
shaking it's not that good I think he
and M is a great gimbal it's just that
you have to learn to speak its language
it is not really really easy to use
there are a lot of tricks you have to do
to get it working for example you have
to remember that you need to turn the
gimbal on first if you if you have the
cable connected to the camera and then
you have to remember to balance it and
then it's not really cheap but once you
get the balance right and want to know
how to use it I think it's a really good
gimbal I think it's something I bring to
a convention and use it with the camera
use it with the phone use it with the
GoPro whatever I need and just carry one
gimble at a couple of gimbal of course
the problem with Sony rx100 mark 4 or
Mark 5 or generally Sony rx100 series is
that the battery life is going to be a
lot less so I wish it also charged the
camera maybe in the next model all right
