Hi - thanks. Can you recommend any good gimbals?
I've done some testing with a variety of them, everything from $60 counter-balance weight gimbals to the $1k electronic - and so far - at least for me - none of them does a 'great' job. The electronic does a 'so-so' job - while it seems to eliminate jitter - it doesn't really get rid of the wobble...
Two things to consider:
- Is you camera between the supported minimum and maximum weight of the gimbal. If it is close to either one (almost too light or too heavy), your gimbal will have a hard time.
You have about 300gr, so the gimbal has to be in that range.
- Did you balance the gimbal with the lens extracted?
Your coolpix has a rather long and heavy lens that will affect the balance of the gimbal. Also the display should stay in the same place as when you balanced.
Don't zoom after you balanced the gimbal. If you want to zoom in or out, re balance.
Make very sure your camera won't move left, right etc. with the gimbal OFF when you think it is balanced. Just shake it a little to see if you are on the right spot.
(nobody said it was easy)
From what I have seen and tested, a gimbal will work out the bigger motion changes. Not the small jitter. That requires a stabilized lens or camera (you have VR, so you should be good with that).
I have tested a zhiyun crane v2 for my DSLR. Very good gimbal, but I lack a image stabilized lens so I got lot's of micro jitter.
Too bad DJI does not have this kind of gimbals, since they rule really do a great job on making them.
From what I've read, both Zhiyun and Feiyu make good gimbals.
