Hi there Guys, so i took the pluge and decided to purchase the crane -excuse my color grade - still learning, but here is some test footage...all in all i think it works really really well and i am excited to start creating contect with this fantastic piece of equipment soon!!
The GX8 weighs 490g, what is the kit lens for that camera? Is it the 14-42mm Mega OIS II? That has 110g. As a reference, today I balanced the A6300 (410g) with the 35 1.8 (160g) and the problem is that the lens is too light to actually use my camera cage. So I think your problem isn't solved by adding even more weight to the camera but flipping the mounting plate to have the motor on the left side so you can move it even further forward?
