They both have pros-cons. With the glidecam HD4000, I find myself constantly fine tuning, changing lens, adding a filter, a slight gush of wind, or worst, a windy day. I spent more time tuning it then filming with it, and once you start to add all the accessories like monitors, its heavy. Putting it down and barely bumping the base plate could cause the weight to shift and now you have to start over. With the Ronin M, the think people see it as a "gimbal for dummy", put on a camera, "auto-tune" and go. You still have to understand how to balance each axis independently, but because you or using two hands, its easier on the body, much easier to pan with the Ronin then using your fingers to turn a glidecam/steadycam. Its compact and you can break it down easily and store away. The best thing about a 3 axis gimbal is that you can add a follow focus, can't do that on a glidecam. |
