![]() Here is what Fuji does with non-electronic lenses: That is true because pros really do use gimbals and all, but at the same time Sigma positioned the fp as the most compact FF video camera, and made really tough and doubtful sacrifices to achieve that. ![]() I found this hard to believe, but I'm not a cine guy. He told me, is that pros use gimbals and external stabilization devices with their manual cine lenses, instead of depending on the camera. I think we can agree that a firmware update would cure all this. I think the real reason is simply that Sigma just didn't think of it when the firmware was written. The reasoning for not doing it, he told me, is that pros use gimbals and external stabilization devices with their manual cine lenses, instead of depending on the camera. He said he would forward that suggestion to Sigma Japan and maybe they would pursue it, or maybe they wouldn't. You put on a manual lens, or use a dumb adapter, and then you go to the adapter menu in the camera and key in the name of the lens and the focal length. I mentioned that Fuji does it, likely quite similar to how Olympus did (and others as well I imagine). I discussed this with the Sigma tech help rep. The only thing they possibly need to know about the lens is the focal distance and it could be easily dialed in through the menu. Yes, it does not work with the manual lens and that's extremely stupid. I have a non-electronic manual lens attached. I tried turning on electronic stabilization in cine mode, but the camera said it could not be done because of the lens attached. Panasonic has insane image stabilization, but can't beat the AF performance of Sony. So, at the end of the day - getting a gimbal/stabilizer will not hurt you, because even in the future if you decide to swap cameras, the hardware will work on all cameras.Īlso - if you get a Panasonic camera they might work much better than my experience with Sony. Even using the included handle on the FX3 gives unstable shots. ![]() I have a Sony FX3 and while there is some stabilization internally, and GPS stabilization fix (with severe crop-in) I am still debating getting a gimbal or stabilizer. That being said, any other camera using SteadyShot or the like will crop in on the footage and you'll lose quality. You can also swap the camera out for something else. Professional stabilizers are pretty cheap at $225 vs $800 for a DJI RS2 gimbal. Here's a comparison video of gimbals vs stabilizers: Stabilizers are basically balanced monopods with smooth tilt and rotation at the head. Now, I've never used one myself, but I've considered getting either a gimbal or a **stabilizer. Monopods help, and so do tripods! I will do swinging shots on my tripod with two of its legs anchored in the ground.īut for great motion, gimbals work. Sadly, I have thought of this option too. Get rid of the camera as it's not feasible to do what I want like I want to. Using some kind of passive stabilization like monopod or grain bag – will it help?Ĥ. My whole point from the start was using old manual lenses.Ģ. Stabilized L-mount lens – the existing ones are either not suitable or I cannot afford them. Even if I manage to be perfectly still, I still have heartbeat and it shows in the footage. ![]() I cannot do better, and the footage I get I consider mostly unusable. It's shot with 50mm lens and this is my best effort to stabilize the camera handheld. Before that I used Oly E-M10 II and was pretty happy with it so I thought fp will make me even happier.īut I'm having a problem with stabilization. "naked" without any additional gear) in my trips etc. I supposed I could use fp as a minimalistic video camera (i.e.
