What's up guys I'm Jimmy from elegant screen works and today we're going to take a look at the DSLR stabilizers to crane 3 lab and the smaller we be lab from Eugene Tech enjoy since our team specialized in creating short cinematic action films on a low budget these gimbals are the perfect choice for us they include a tripod that also doubles as a handle works amazing to get bad sturdy double hand grip very ergonomic very easy to use and in context to our short film it allowed us to really get that steady high-speed cinematic footage without paying big bucks for large cranes dolly tracks and big crew to operate all that equipment for us there was a one-man job and it worked great without running gun style of film making both gimbals come equipped with an integrated camera control system this system allows you to hook up your phone or tablet to wirelessly use it as an external monitor or remote to control both the settings in the camera and the settings in the gimbals the camera control system in these gimbal's can also be used to operate the synchronous zoom and focus controller which is easily operated through the controls on the gimbal itself or through the connected phone now with a gimbal you really can't adjust the focus while shooting without messing up your shot the accessible focus control gets rid of that problem.
Permanently one thing that we also liked about these gimbals was the ability to connect monopods the extendable monopod allowed us to shoot those high angle jib shots while shooting our action movie we wanted to really push these gimbals to their absolute limits and what is a good action movie without that's right car chase roll the car chase footage . I know what you're thinking this was all done on a closed Road the cameraman was securely buckled up the whole time remember guys safety always comes first now that we got all that stuff out of the way I'm gonna go a little more into detail about what actually did here we got our photographer and gimbal operator
gust strapped to the back of her car and you use the crane 30-lap with the monopod tightly secured with the wrist strap, of course, remember guys but I said about savory first that also goes for your camera equipment you don't want to drop this bad boy in the pavement you lock the monopod between his legs and me as a director was able to see in the front seat using my phone as a monitor
to observe everything that was going on through the camera control system easily and look at how smooth this footage turned out even when hanging out of the side of they are amazing. Even though our photographer is a strong man according to himself at least the crane three with our camera and lens setup is a heavy rig you will get tired after a long day of shooting, that's where the we built really shines with a lighter setup the waybill is both smaller and lighter than the crane 3 but size does not always have to matter here since stabilization with this rig comparability still is very good.
