This item was purchased as being a gift for a film student. I wasn't expecting considerably as professional steadicams can runs into 1000's or tens of a large number of dollars and also the iPhone 4S has so little inertial mass itself that I wasn't confident no matter whether this would in fact eliminate the wobbles. The Steadicam Smoothee works beautifully--way beyond my expectations for this kind of a very simple set-up with so little added excess weight. The movies filmed on the telephone are silky smooth and look like experienced video. The Smoothee was made use of to take movies while walked by means of the woods and also you get that very same surreal sense of the digital camera just floating through the scene while you climb over rocks and walk by means of streams. Very awesome item and a terrific addition to any film student's bag of tricks. You do have to get utilised for the movement and you do need to read the instructions to get the maximum advantage from this. In case you do not use your thumb to control the gimble you will get wider swings than you wish during speedy turns, but that is a easy issue to study and also the video clips are spectacular.



If you are wanting to stage your pastime up into anything really good seeking, grab this! As an avid videographer with residence movies and covering neighborhood youth football I use my iPhone a whole lot but I use a Canon H20 a great deal a lot more due to higher-quality video and this gadget continues to be designed to only be balanced with which ever device it's purchased for be it the iPhone 4 for iPhone 3GS or any in the cameras that they make adapters for. This adapter will mount to a regular tripod but you may not be capable of mount something but the holder that came with or was purchased from steady cam. I believe it will be better if they came out using a device that would attach to this that would help an extremely light consumer camcorder. In my opinion the Merlin can hold a great deal much more weight at a substantially greater cost tag than what the typical customer desires. I think this would be a a lot superior investment in the event you had an adapter that would permit you to put your light-weight client grade camcorder onto the regular cam smoothee. This would give the general worth in the device a significantly higher appeal. I know the customer I'm not at a point in which I am willing to spend $800 to regular a $400 camera But I'm also not applying a $2200 camera I consider the Merlin serves its purpose at its value point but I believe this film just requires to complete somewhat bit far more and it will be nicely worth the money.

More affordable than what my close friends payed just for their SLR, and I carry anything to shoot and record audio. So ready for interviews and documenting what ever is going on. Next up I go to get an 4s for that sweet 1080p. It is a weird pastime, I know, but once more it is less costly than purchasing just an SLR and I have everything I want.
