el Producente's video: Z1-Rider2 - 3-axis Gimbal for GoPro SJCAM - Review Demo Footage

Review of the new Z1-Rider2 3-axis gimbal by Zhiyun Tech for GoPro & SJCAM. more on my blog: http://bit.ly/1fHOCV9 Zhiyun Website: http://bit.ly/1Jo0K8B Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/elProducente What’s in the box: - 3-axis gimbal -- which is wire connected to a grip which holds the controls and batteries. - 2x 18350 Li-Po batteries - Charger (using a mircoUSB port) - USB (USB - microUSB) - Cable to charge the GoPro with the gimbal's batteries - Bar and screws to attach the camera. -- The shorter screws are used for the GoPro alone, the larger ones if you use your GoPro with the LCD backpack. - Velcro to mount the gimbal’s grip - English manual I really like the gimbal as it very versatile. It features a GoPro mount and a ¼” thread at the bottom to attach it to huge variety of mounts. How to set it up: Put the GoPro in place and fix it with the bar and the screws. The camera is hold very tight in place. Open the bottom of the grip and insert the batteries, there you’ll also find the power button for the device. There are three buttons on the handle and a LED next to it, which indicates the battery status of the gimbal. The middle button is the mode switch button. Long press it to start the gimbal and the camera levels automatically within a second. This button is also used to switch modes. - Pan follow mode: When you turn the gimbal, the camera follows smoothly. - Locking mode: Now the camera stays in place, even when the gimbal is turned. - Pan, pitch follow mode: Now the camera not only follows when the gimbal is turned, but also when it is pitched. In pan, pitch follow mode the upper and lower buttons are used to level the camera. In pan follow mode or locking mode, the buttons are used to pitch the camera. You can also do this while operating, so you can use the gimbal as a small jib! New with the Z1-Rider2 (compared to the Z1-Rider): - control algorithm was improved - torque is stronger - motors rotate more smoothly - 1/4" thread The gimbal is made for GoPros and can be used with SJCAMs according to Zhiyun’s website. This model can’t be used with the Xiaomi Yi. The Xiaomi Yi is a little larger than the GoPro and doesn’t fit into the aluminium brackets. You can use a small and a large screw to attach it. It’s not meant to be but it works. If you are looking for a gimbal for the Xiaomi Yi, check out the Z1-Evolution, which works with GoPros, SJCAMs and the Xiaomi Yi. Demo 1 Mountainbike: The gimbal was mounted on the farm of the bike using a bar mount. Focus on the horizon to see how steady the picture is and compare it with the movements of the bike and take a look at the suspension to see how uneven the track was. Later I got off my bike and moved it left and right until the pedals hit the ground and pulled it up and down. Check out how the bike moves while the horizon is still leveled. Demo 2 Quad: Gimbal mounted on the helmet using adhesive mount. Take a look at the movement of the quad and the ground surrounding the quad in this shot. The background in this shot looks very smooth as the quad is moving. Take a look at the same ride without using a gimbal. There you can see how uneven the terrain was and how shaky the shot is. Demo 3 Quad: Gimbal mounted on a wrist mount: Again look at the background and horizon as only the driver seems to be moving within the picture. To give you a contrast, we mounted the camera without using the Z1-Rider. You can clearly see how shaky your shot is without using the gimbal. Demo 4 Quad Backseat: Gimbal was used handheld using a monopod. During this shot I used the Z1-Rider2 handheld. You have to options to do so. You can either attach a handle bar mount on the battery grip and mount the gimbal. Or you can mount it on a monopod. That’s the way I use it as I can easily extend the monopod and use the gimbal as a jib. Furthermore you hand hold the battery grip in your other hand und adjust the pitch of the camera.
