Purely walking backwards in front of a couple walking towards me at approx the same pace. Tried it previously with the gimbal and of course that works perfectly. Tried it with just the S5ii IBIS and with/without current EIS with mixed results. The new level looks 👊 Job done so good I sold the faffy gimbal and instead, from next week, I’ll just assign it to a custom setting et voila. The rest of the day, ie, everything else is IBIS only which is perfect for the job. I do not have the time to tripod every shot and a monopod also gets in the way so a super steady handheld shot is key for me and IBIS alone with the S5ii achieves this. I’ve even held it 2-3 minutes previously and whilst you can tell it was not on a tripod, it’s not far off and there is no real camera movement. I’m not a camera movement kind of guy so don’t talk to me about panning etc 😛 -
Very interesting dialogue, glad i found this! -
For general video, I prefer a small amount of 'float' in the stabilisation - it looks more natural. For handheld or monopod long telephoto video, I need all the stability I can get, so it's Panasonic 'IS Boost' or Oly/OMDS '+1' level stabilisation in that situation for me. -
To be fair, I vaguely remember the OP stating at some point that he/she likes to have discussions about gear. And let's be honest, this forum is primarily a gear forum. Perhaps the OP should mention that this discussion isn't necessarily about a decision he's currently planning on making and instead it's about learning and gathering information. With that said, @kye has a fair point. These cameras are only tools for creative endeavors. These cameras will not make the film or color grade your film or make your film good. At the end of the day, story is king. I would suggest to the OP that they take some time and go back and look what people were creating when the DSLR revolution began. Look at t2i and GH2 videos to see what was possible with limited resolution, DR and resources. -
...and if they had picked one up and shot with it, they might like or dislike it for reasons unrelated to the video it can produce (like where the buttons are, how the menus work, battery life, monitoring options etc.).
