Here's a quick informative video on how to check the voltage on your gimbal batteries!

If you happen to have a multi-tester laying around, it would be a good idea to check the batteries you have for your gimbal. You want to make sure your batteries are fully charged before testing the voltage.

The 18650 batteries for the CAME-TV Mini/Mini 2 and the 16340 batteries for the CAME-ACTION gimbal should be reading at 3.7v or higher. The 3S Lipo Battery for the CAME-7800 and 8000 should be giving you a reading of 11v or higher.

Your card is formatted, talent's in place, and your gimbal is perfectly balanced. And just as you're about to roll camera.... your gimbal's battery dies. But wait? You charged your battery overnight, right? Even so, batteries, just like most things that involve power, have a shelf life.

The best way to avoid this nightmarish scenario is to test your batteries on a regular basis using a voltmeter/multitester. Among the many things it's capable of, a multitester can read the voltage of your battery and let you know if it has enough juice in it to perform. And just as easily, it can let you know if the battery is ready to be replaced.

If you don't own or readily have access to a voltmeter or multitester, then you can bring your battery(ies) into most electronics/repair shops or automotive garages. Most of these businesses will test your batteries for free.

1080 Digital Media, recently uploaded his second test of him using the CAME-Single gimbal. The majority of his first video was how it performed while walking. 1080 Digital Media, states that the main focus on this video was for driving and "following a person" shots. He used a Panasonic GH3 recording at 50fps, but states that Vimeo re-conformed it to 25P.

This is mainly a test for driving shots and following (a person) shots. These 2 areas are the rig's strong points so far.

Since the CAME-Single has brushless motors with encoders, it has the ability to make your driving shots incredibly smooth and more stable.

Recently, Stanly, posted this video of some shots he edited together using his Sony A7s with a Zeiss Loxia 2/50 lens balanced on a CAME-Single.

Even though the video is short, it looks like a very cinematic music video. The beginning shows the main soundcheck, but at the end it transitions directly into the bands live show. The CAME-Single gives the shooter incredibly smooth footage while operating the gimbal with just one hand. The CAME-Single is the first commercially available 3-axis 32-bit basecam controlled gimbal that offers brushless motors with encoders.

Cinema5D: Testing the New Sony A7sII using the CAME-Single

Johnnie Behiri from Cinema5D.com recently posted his first impressions and footage of the Sony A7s II. Johnnie Behiri is a BBC freelance cameraman/editor who also films documentaries, commercials, music videos and many other projects.

In the video above, Johnnie, states that he was trying to squeeze “normal footage”, “lowlight” and “slow-motion” parts into one video." In the moving shots Johnnie used our CAME-TV Single Handheld 3-axis gimbal, with the Sony A7sII and Sony 16-35mm lens, which he said was his preferred gimbal...Read More>

Vimeo user, Dieter Knüttel, has uploaded four detailed videos regarding the CAME-Single gimbal so far and now he uploaded his fifth and final video. He talks about his overall experience using the CAME-Single and talks briefly about balancing it with his Panasonic GH3 mirror-less camera and Lumix 12-35mm lens.

CAME-Single Review With Dieter Knuttel

In this video, he jam packed even more test footage of him using the CAME-Single! It's great to see customers going out on the field and gathering a ton of footage with the CAME-Single. Dieter does state in the description "Any stutter you might see does not come from the gimbal but is a 25p on a 30p timeline problem".

Johnnie Behiri from Cinema5D.com recently posted his first impressions and footage of the Sony A7s II. Johnnie Behiri is a BBC freelance cameraman/editor who also films documentaries, commercials, music videos and many other projects.

In the video above, Johnnie, states that he was trying to squeeze “normal footage”, “lowlight” and “slow-motion” parts into one video." In the moving shots Johnnie used our CAME-TV Single Handheld 3-axis gimbal, with the Sony A7sII and Sony 16-35mm lens, which he said was his preferred gimbal.

"CAME-TV CAME-Single is currently my preferred gimbal. Very easy to use and adjust."

We were honored to find out that he was using our CAME-Single gimbal while testing out the new Sony A7sII with great results.

DSC04384-640x360

In the article, Johnnie explains the main advantages of the Sony a7SII from the original a7s:

    • "Internal UHD 4K recording
    • S-log 3 (in addition to S-log 2)
    • Gamma Display Assistant (allows you to monitor your flat S-log 2 or 3 image in a more vivid Rec 709 way)
    • Internal IBIS stabilisation system (5-Axis SteadyShot)
    • A possibility to charge the camera via the USB port
    • A possibility to assign “REC” to other buttons than the awkwardly placed rec button
    • 100fps (PAL), 120fps (NTSC) in HD quality"

He also explains his most noticeable differences from comparing the Sony a7S II to the a7R II:

  • "The addition of S-log 3
  • Up to 120fps in full HD (compared to 60fps)
  • Gamma Display Assist
  • Sony’s a7S II is cleaner in low-light situations compared to the a7R II
  • Because of its higher pixel count, the Sony a7R II can shoot in APS-C S35 crop-mode in 4K. The a7S II can not do that. Further more, any APS-C lens that will be attached to this camera will have strong vignetting at the edges in 4K-mode (APS-C mode is limited to HD resolutions)."

, posted this wedding video he shot using the CAME-7800 3-axis gimbal with a Canon 5DmkII + 17-40mm lens! The video shows a lot of great tracking shots of the bride and groom walking through some beautiful outdoor locations.
The CAME-7800 can support setups up to 6.5 pounds, which is perfect for cameras like a Canon 5DmkIII, Canon 7D or even a Panasonic GH4. The CAME-7800 offers multiple modes that you can cycle through by clicking the joystick.

Milton: Motion & Design, used the CAME-Single gimbal + his Sony A7s with a Sony 20mm lens to shoot a recent real estate video! The video shows a lot of excellent pan & tilt movements that give you a clear idea of how each room looks. There are steady tracking shots that go from the exterior of the house into the interior, which shows the overall flow of the house itself.

The CAME-Single is the first commercially available 3-axis 32-bit  basecam controlled gimbal that has brushless motors with encoders. You're able to operate the CAME-Single easily with just one hand. The tool-less design allows the user to quickly and efficiently balance his or hers camera setup for optimal performance.

It has been brought to our attention that a small batch of instructional DVDs that came with our CAME-8000 gimbal are not readable in certain regions. Unfortunately, this small quantity of discs were not universally encoded, and hence are not viewable on some customers' DVD players or computers, depending on what country they're being viewed in.

Luckily, we have some of these videos online that can be used as a guide when getting started with your 8000 gimbal.

The CAME-Action for GoPro cameras is a great, compact gimbal that has been designed to balance right out of the box. However, in the event that your Action gimbal is not balancing correctly, there's a good chance that the Roll Bar may have been shifted, either in shipping or during use. Follow the simple steps laid out in the video below to set the Roll Bar in the proper position and get your Action fully stabilized.

1080 Digital Media, uploaded this quick test of him using the CAME-Single straight out of the box! He does make a note in the video description stating that on some of the shots he used a heavier lens(Samyang 14mm) that went over the maximum payload, which caused some shuddering. When he switched to a light lens, the Canon 18-55mm, he said it worked much more smoothly.

The CAME-Single is a 3-axis gimbal that has brushless motors with new encoder technology. Encoders are often used to give highly accurate motor position readings, which will prevent the motors from going out of sync. The large frame on the CAME-Single allows you to fully tilt up and down your camera with ease. A tool-less quick release plate gives the shooter the ability to balance the camera quickly and on the fly.
