Need something to help with shaky vids.


Recommended Posts

Hey guys I have a sony a6000 and I notice that I get shaky and unsteady vids. I decided I wanted to get a gimbal then I see how expensive they are (nothing under $200 bucks or so yikes) then I started look at stabilizers. Problem with stabilizers for me is there so bulky. I'm wondering if something what I describe exists? I want to find something as portable and compact like a gimbal with a joystick. But with the price of a stabilizer (under 100 bucks) 

I will post pics of examples of what I like maybe you guys can give me some ideas.

Basically the best way I can describe what I'm looking for is like a selfie stick that extends and you can easily hold it low to the ground to get good low shots and hold it up high to get higher shots, with a joystick to control the camera. That's small and compact. I dont want to look like a guy on a swat team with big over the shoulder equipment or take up a bunch of space looking awkward shooting regular vids in public with people staring at me.  The kicker is I need it to be small, portable, very steady and get rid of shaky-ness when shooting, and under $100.

 

Any ideas or suggestions?

First pic is the size and style I like with the joystick. 2nd pic is an over the shoulder rig that I like also and its very well priced but its just so bulky and awkward looking for casual vlogging and stuff like that.

    • I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.
    • Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
