Today, we are going to talk about VR180 stabilization. We will compare all VR
180 camera available in the market right now to show you none of them has enough
internal stabilization compared to 360 camera. That is why I have a stabilization
suit on with the Moze Air 2 gimbal from Gimbal Guru and the Z Cam K1 Pro
on top. With Moze Air 2 and the Y-axis stabilization suit to remove
up and down walking movement is how I achieve professional level stabilisation
on VR180 rig. But what about for consumer with consumer VR180
cameras like the Insta360 EVO or the Vuze XR?
Well as you see this rig I'm holding right now right here you can use
this achieve the same result as my heavy rig right here. So let's break it down
and see how to achieve perfect stabilization for VR 180.
So now we have all four most popular consumer VR 180 camera right here from
left to right we have the daydream Lenovo Mirage and then we have the Vuze
XR then we have the Insta360 EVO and then we have the Kandao Qoocam
All 4 cameras are in the exact same distant and we're gonna walk with it to
see how good is the stabilization let's find out
as you see the walking tests for normal use both Evo and Qoocam are pretty
stable. The Google Lenovo Mirage is okay and the Vuze XR is pretty shaky.
When I start to run that is when you see the stabilization breakdown. Vuze XR
is unusable mirage has pretty bad up and down side to side movement even the
horizon line kept pretty straight Qoocam is acceptable but the horizon line
is not straight. Evo is the best overall but you can still see minor vibration
especially around the lens edges. If you watch this in a VR headset
everything looks worse because now image in the left and right eyes are both
moving which create vertical parallax that make people sick subconsciously.
So now we have just a regular Insta360 Evo and another Evo on top of my Osmo
mobile first and then my vertical stabilizer to compare how good is the
stabilization between these two cameras
let's find out
so when putting side-by-side Evo with only flow state and Evo with flow state
and gimble you can tell with the gimbal version is
a lot smoother. Beside it feels less shaky in the headset the Gimbal version
also looks sharper and less motion blur then without gimbal
I'm not sure what kind of magic Insta360 using on FlowState but I
guess it involves calculation to hide motion blur so image quality will
improve if you less rely on FlowState. My Osmo mobile is not so good and
locking horizon if you use the slightly more expensive Moza Guru 360 it tends
to have a better result. So now you see the comparison result in 2d if you want
to watch this in your VR headset I provided the download link below in my
description now let's see how I used to build my stabilization system. Other
YouTubers keep saying EVO does not have a good design.
I have to disagree. The box looking EVO is in perfect shape to put on any
handheld cell phone gimbal. I use my very old DJI Osmo Mobile right here
It works out of the box for Lenovo Mirage and that is what I have
been using for many jobs before any other VR180 camera. EVO does not fit in Osmo
out of the box as you see right here but I put a tripod mount right here and a
phone right here and it will fit nicely check this out. *Booo (sound FX)
What about music sorry is a great camp
Great color science out of the box and the image look very sharp. Not
to mention it support ProRes render for those who like Post Production and
want to make their footage look as good as possible. But you can not move the
VUZE XR unless you pair it with the Moze Guru 360 I'm using now
the shape and weight of VUZE XR. The cheapest and the easiest
option is actually right here.
Again, feel free to use regular DSLR gimbal with counterweight
it will also work on the VUZE XR. But, a handheld gimbal is NOT enough if
you are walking and not on wheels. I film a lot of VR180 actually on my OneWheel.
When human walk, there is up and down motion which is unavoidable, if you are
HUMAN with 2 feet. So to counter that, we have this little guy.
It can be easily attached onto any handheld gimbal right now and provide the Z axis
Stabilization.
can try this guy. This guy can help you support heavier gimbal like the Moza
Air 2 or any DSLR gimbal. Don't worry I will provide all the links down in the
description below so you can check them out
