I'm a little cynical about the whole (ai thing and what they call ai ) certainly there are coding improvements and other improvements that perhaps can maybe put down to Ai i'm not so sure. I think its a great selling point to call any product Ai enhanced whether Ai is superficially involved or not. Besides that i am confident if you buy any of the current models you would notice improvements, maybe not earth shattering improvements, but improvements none the less. Most likely small things like balance, handling, how easy it is to use that sort of thing. Most of the manufacturers are on their, second, third even fourth generation models. Safe to say they have all improved, however i doubt any of them are perfect despite what the youtube influencers would have you believe. I have no exp about the ai tracking that wasn't a requirement when i was looking. I know some cameras have predictive tracking, how that would integrate with a gimbal is above my pay grade. As far as i'm aware its still up to the human to pan, tilt and rotate. 🤔 I have a little gimbal suitable for iphones and gopros and not much else. When i use it, it works great, maybe my style or my needs are modest, certainly my skills are 🙂 Once i got a bigger camera, i watched a lot of youtubes on various gimbals. I made a list of things i thought desirable in a gimbal. Now as i write this i cant think of any of them... For whatever reason a crane m3s was decided on as desirable. There was also a crane m4 available at the time, some thing in the m4 specs was different enough from the m3s that it was ruled out despite being the latest incarnation of said gimbal. There was a potential bug reported with the m3, it seemed to affect some people and not others. When mine arrived it worked ok, i did the update thing anyway... i'll be honest i did stress about whether i would get one that had an "issue" and needed the update, in the end it was a non issue. I can't really say anything bad about it. It works without issues, so far. What i can say, is its big, probably stands half meter tall. its kinda heavy even before you put a camera on it and it likes heavy cameras. Put a light camera on it and it will have apoplexy for ten seconds straight. I tried that 🙃 the little om-1 mark two is way to light for this gimbal. Later i did add a focus motor and cables and whatever else came with the kit, surprisingly it was pain free getting it all rebalanced and working, not what i was expecting at all. I did have a usb cable in the wrong port, there's 3 or 4 ports for different things and two ports side by side, once i figured that out it worked fine. For me the only down side is the weight of everything, maybe i should join a gym. Filming anything much longer than 30 seconds or minute starts becoming a struggle real quick or it seems like that... If you have a dji ronin, there is some wisdom in staying within that brand as you know it already and have the muscle memory as well. A different brand is buttons in new places, the functions probably 180 degrees to what your used too. The kind of stuff that makes you inclined to pull your hair out... not impossible to do, just longer before your up to speed. I did ask a question similar to yours when i was first interested in a bigger gimbal within the forum, not sure i got a definitive answer and thats ok and i hope no one takes offence at my comment. What it did do, was make me ask some questions to myself and then it was a journey of finding answers that matched my expectations and sometimes redefining criteria when criteria clashed or probably closer to the truth my understanding was flawed technically and needed readdressing anyway. In the end i think i made a good choice for me, whether the crane m3 is a good choice for you is something you would have to do your own homework on 🙂 -
i'm looking at the tiffen magsafe for my iphone 13 as well i have been pretty happy with the phone 13 for photos and vids. 9 times out of ten its the only thing i have with me capable of video, Its also hard for me to justify the price of a new iphone or even android. I purchased the camera raw app for the iphone that i read about in another thread and i'm going to give that a go. I also plan on replacing the screen due to a large crack which doesn't stop me using it, but it does annoy me none the less. Also i have noticed the flaring in photos is growing so i'm thinking its time to replace that clear front lens housing as well. I feel those measures aught to provide a useful increase in "useability" and stave off a new phone purchase for 12 months / two years hopefully.

too late now probably, but could you not get the k&f iphone 17 filter ? although it doesn't look threaded which is an issue at the front

I have heard its not wise to use two types of stabilization together as they can fight each other. I have no idea where i picked that particular nugget up from however and i suggest you take it with a grain of salt. There was one discussion some time ago on the forum about cadence and motion blur in videography, perhaps its abit like that. You may notice peculiarities that pass the rest of us by. Bit like some people are susceptible to flickering lights or flashing lights. What sort of image resolution and frame rates are you talking about ? I have a small gimbal and a crane m3 gimbal that can carry anything reasonable and then some... i could do some 10 second clips if that helps narrow the issue down.

I kind of get the comparison honestly. Sony used to feel like the “experimental” brand, but now they seem a lot more conservative with updates and product segmentation. Still great cameras, but the excitement factor definitely feels different compared to a few years ago.
