Best 3 Axis Gimbal for Light Cameras?
- Thread starter Philister
- Start date
Hi Philip - as long as your camera (with lens) is below 1 kg (2.2 lbs), you might want to consider the $699 Nebula 4000 Lite. It costs a lot less than a Movi or a Ronin - and it has a much smaller form factor.
Once properly configured, here is what it can do:
With the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera: http://vimeo.com/115320624
With the Sony A7s: http://youtu.be/sgjvftv-JKc
And with the Panasonic GH4: http://youtu.be/HXSyYR2sxz8
Hope this is helpful and good luck with your decision!

The Nebula 4000 Lite has a completely different design that the ones I've been looking at, but it actually looks amazing. The weight capacity might be a problem, though. It says it works well with cameras like the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, Sony A7s, and Panasonic GH4, but I use a bigger DSLR camera.
Thanks for the reply--I might check the Nebula out anyways.

Turbo Ace Allsteady 5
Hi Phillip,
Take a look at our gimbal called the Allsteady 5. It's designed for DSLR cameras a large as the Canon 5D Mk iii and in some cases slightly larger cameras.
We fully assemble and tune the gimbal for you. Depending on your camera and lens, we can even balance the gimbal for you.

Get the DJI Ronin!
Hi Philip,
We have and use both the MoVI M15 and the DJI Ronin. We also recently ditched our MoVI M10!! The reason we ditched the MoVI M10 and not the considerably cheaper DJI Ronin is that the latter is more versatile, especially when utilising lightweight DSLRs.
Also, if you ever wanted to put a bigger camera on in the future, having the space to do so could be a big advantage. Especially if you plan to hire the gimbal out as well. We just stuck the FS7 on ours.

can you tilt up and down with a 3-axis? something my 2-axis cannot do
depends on the software and settings.
When truly stable you can roll, tilt and pan, but the camera won't turn on any axis.
A Movi i.e. has been set in a way that when I'm operating it alone a pan wider than 10 degrees is seen as a command to turn the camera that way. The same can be done with tilting. Or choose to keep it horizontal at all times.
