![]() Whether the width is a "huge" issue for this or other gimbals remains to be seen.Īs for managing 8.5 lbs with one hand or even two - try it sometime. I don't know how you arrived at the 4-5 lbs figure (how much did you allow for the gimbal itself?), but since neither product is currently available, I'm not sure why you'd want to speculate on how well this combination may work. One thing is i can grab and lift, another things is work fluently with it. If you search more you can found many people that use vest and arm also on mirrorless and gimbal, or flyvest to reduce weight on arms'operator. Without vest you have vertical oscillation during motion, and this increase a lot the weight percivied. if you are stationary may be possible for a small period, but gimbal is to move, run with camera, or i put camera on a shoulder. ![]() I had both, and i can tell you that people that show ump on a one hand gimbal, a red or more are for advertising only, but if you work, also if you are a bodybuilder, it's hard to grab and keep stable a weight with a single arm, without vest and more. Then think about add more wieght with a gimbal / glidecam with additional counter balance weight and try to think to run. Try to grab ursaminipro, with fixed lens, without battery (simple xlr cable from battery to camera allow you to be lighter) and try to keep it in front of you for more than 1 minutes without vibration. Just a simple mirrorless like gh5 is heavy with simple setup and gimbal after few minutes. I see people using single handed glidecams operating Ursa Mini Pros without a vest and that's around an 8.5lb camera so you need all the weights on the glidecam. ![]() The width is also a huge issue as it doesn't fit on a lot of gimbals without some sort of offset. It's tricky though because the way the Blackmagic is balanced it might actually stress the motors a bit more so the Ronin S looks to be one of the better options.
