| Experience: EX1 and Steadycamsysteme / swing stands
Question by Sonny83:
Januar 2009
I'd like your opinions and experiences on EX1 and Steadycamsysteme hear.
Recommendations, experiences, pros, cons, tips, handling, etc.
Yesterday was the new Glidecam 4000 HD with me, which I am after an hour without success at balancing almost brought to despair.
Answer by wontuwontu:
Hi, I've long been a Glidecam Smooth Shooter 4000 with an EX1 uses, have a few days until it worked, but then the shots were the absolute Hammer. There are a few basic rules that you should, for example, you should always as much weight as possible to grab the arm. It is quite normal when you are up to an hour will need to adjust to the Steadycam. Over training can not hurt synonymous experiment s.Anfang to run without shoes, so you have more feeling. Otherwise it is practice, practice, practice. A Steadycam to dominate with one of the hardest-operator tasks.

something you can show (video)? it's not about me content, but only the visible and execution of the camera movement.

Answer by Sonny83:
Thank you for the quick info - I thought I had balance problems;)
I was surprised that I'm really the complete weight on the tripod, there must be (at HD about 1.4 KG), although my EX1 with great Mic Battery and weighs around 3.5 KG. (The 4000s Tripod is yes to 4.5 KG stabilize).
Is it normal that the fastest way to get to Cam Page "wegrollt"?
Greeting
Answer by jazzy_d:
A tripod is always held with both hands. Thus it is not synonymous to "roll away". However, if "wegkippt" is the weight down too small. The weight must be above and below almost exactly the same so that it remains perpendicular (bottom a little more than above). But with much much much much exercise can be easy to adjust (with the new, it should be much easier) and use.
Answer by Sonny83:
Yes that is described in the manual "commuting" grade when sudden stops occur throughout.
The supplied counterweight (ings. just 1.48 KG) is a maximum load of 4.5 kg balance. However, when I was about 3.2 KG with the Camera and it commutes durchegehen.
There are probably still some s.Einstellungsarbeit and try it before me:)
Your statements after the 4000s should be yes to each covered well with the EX1 can play together. This is sometimes very good.
Answer by jazzy_d:
Commuting means bottom too much weight.
Answer by Johannes:
I was told the man about 1 / 3 of Kameragewichtest will use as a counterweight. On my Panasonic (about 2kg), I have however almost synonymous bottom half off and it goes quite well.
Hast du schon mal with the length of the Postes played? If not solltest
you try it once synonymous (lever law).
Answer by r.p.television:
The best way to get the balance right is the complete system with counter weights and camcorders in the horizontal to bring. Then let go. The optimal balance the slower the pendulum motion. In addition, commutes are optimally set out only about three times and her. If the system is not, however, with vertically oriented post to calm down is too little weight. At the bottom of the poster should, taking into account the laws leverage a minimal extra weight concerns.
The fact that the camera sideways wegrollt (ie in the X-axis of the camera axis) s.sich is quite normal. Therefore, use is synonymous with two delicate fingers grip s.Gimbal (with the part of the post is connected) to. You can trim the horizontal and vertical control. Many think of the camera has only to stand still. That is not, because even minimal wind brings the original system without intervention from the balance immediately - because the system can still be trimmed so perfectly.
If one knows how the system is balanced in two minutes. Either you vary the volume of the lower counter-weights, the position of the Gimbal s.Post or synonymous with the camera adding weight of equipment (monitor, spark gap, matte).
The heavier the system the better the effect. So just limit s.das of levitation system go.
Answer by Sonny83:
Thank you, now I have a lot more clues!
You may apply to the "HD" version is still incurred by the weight off and the whole base is broadening. When vibration test, it was definitely too fast so far - I have weights then removed or the Post again "shortened" tipped over the Cam.
Be right back ransetzten me.

The extraction of the base really does not buy much. It stabilsiert the camcorder a bit against the rolling away in the horizontal X-axis - and the longer this goes makers leverage. However, I would not use it later because it extracts more experience with the knees collide.
If the vibration test is still too fast, weight is reduced piece by piece. From the header out, I would say of horizontally up to the first position in the vertical middle should be about 4-5 seconds (not the complete Auspendeln but only after letting go until the first item in the lot).
I know not the Glidecam 4000. But I think you remove too much weight aufeinmal or shorten the post too much. There are really only a few millimeters or grams to lead to success.

I agree completely ...
Times go step by step:
1-All s.Post install later synonymous what you need to shoot.
2-Post at 50% failure.
3-camera as on the post to facilitate that in the horizontal stops.
4-Post at a 45 ° angle wegkippen and let go. Now it should be in approximately 3-4sek back to the starting position back commute.
If this fails:
5-piece post next move until you have this slow "swing" reach.
If you post the fully retracted and searched the whole is still too soon to the starting position back swing, you need more weight s.die Camera plate or bring you out of the end of the post s.unteren weights yet you can remove.

Answer by Sonny83:
Danek Many of these detailed instructions.
tonight I have finally time to try this.
Will give you feedback!
