What do you think about using Nebula 4000 paired with Steadycam Arm-and-Vest (from Merlin or Pilot). It can compensate vertical movements while walking. Anyone tried it? I already have Steadycam Vest and don't use it.

Same video in youtube and vimeo.

Nice. ;-)

@Manu4Vendetta thank you for sharing. Great example, no wobbling.

@feha, you're welcome

Russian video is exciting, even without the subtitles, thank you:-)

95 % of test vids you mean...

why do people keep posting these gimbal tests with up and down bounce and shivering vibrations? Planning the walks a little bit isn't a bad idea. I have to keep reminding myself to slow down on the pans, otherwise it's like being on a boat in rough seas.

Then maybe work with the thing, is it balanced, are the pid settings at least in the neighborhood of optimal. Follow someone at a trot or run, over broken ground, then the problems become more obvious.

I like the form factor of the nebula, but I'm not convinced it can create high quality gimbal footage. Most of what I've seen looks like relatively good stabilized hand held footage. Don't most of us want those dreamy floating steadicam shots? I know it's cheap and all, but it's not that cheap.

I still think the birdycam is one of the best performance/price gimbals. It's bigger but folds small, and it's light, which is absolutely critical for a lot of folks.

I wonder if the single balance point of the nebula style gimbal: that this is about the best it can do. Hard to tell without it in hand.
