The gimbal video thread

Damn, that sucks.

Ian I was hoping we would get more site locals posting video. Great idea on the thread. Would like to see some video !

Ian [P13] · Aug 25, 2015

It'll probably be a few more days before everyone has the gimbal, hopefully by next week the content will be flowing.

I just hope people balance their props and get the best from it.

The few videos rolling out look good... Its as good as I would have expected. As ive always said, Id rather something be delayed and done right than rushed and suck

Super nice. Love it. The song is great too. I thought I might have noticed some smudges on the lens, but it might be a slow internet artifact on my side. Anyway, I recommend a lens pen if you don't already have one.

David Weston · Aug 26, 2015

Thanks. Added the music so's when watchers give up on the vid still some entertainment left...lol. Ihave not been to careful about lens and I will in the future. I also thought a big smudge spot off to left ,the body of water on the left, looking more closely it is a reflection of the clouds above. REAL sunny day and got prop shadow on sunny side also. Don't know what a lens pen is but will Google and get one. It's a learning experience but so far a lot of fun!

I saw this orbit today which I thought was nice:

Amongst all the gimbal chatter this week, this video seems to have been missed by many, this happens to still be on a pre-production gimbal, however the pilot in this case has been using the Solo for a while, so knows how to use it.

It's worth a look.

Absolutely, the best Solo vid I seen so far. Thx for sharing link.

I like how they used the full power of the circle mode by both raising in altitude while also expanding the radius. Nicely done..

Orbit mode will be a tremendous tool when run manually. I can't wait.

Thanks for posting the link and thread Ian.

Agreed. When you think of the shots as various cranes and dollies, and the use them in combination (edited together) the possibilities are really exciting.
