$600 GIMBAL VS $200,000 HOLLYWOOD STEADICAM B-ROLL

In this video we compare the $600 #ZhiyunCrane2S to my buddy Russ' $200,000 Steadicam rig to see how they stack up.

I'm curious to know what you guys think! Which one did you like better, tell me in the comments below.

Who made it to the duck sound?? Also, what are your thoughts? Genuinely interested to hear what you think of all the comparisons.

[LeeZavitz]

The Crane2S is amazing! But the extra weight & steady cam gives the image a more organic movement. It just depends on what tool you need for the project! Great vid bro

[YokosoOtaku]

I don't think the comparison was silly at all. I always love seeing how lower end gears stacks up to upper tier gear. Fantastic video!

[phucmapvlog]

I just can’t believe that thing cost 200, 000, but the Crane was legit. Smaller setup, but I use the Crane M2, and so far I’ve been satisfied with the overall performance

[ryannatwick]

Honestly, I can't tell enough of a difference with stabilization. I get distracted by the how the Red has a more dynamic depth of field and its focusing range is just different and because those are the most noticeable differences my mind has a hard time seeing any difference with the actual motion/stabilization.

"It's a ridiculous comparison, but lets do it anyways" At least the honesty & transparency is there!! Thumbs up for that alone!

We should all take a second and step back to appreciate how good it is to be a film maker in 2020.

Never before in film history have tools, visual quality, distribution channels and creative outlets been so easy to access for the independent, non commercial user. All of this was once relegated to mega buck production studios full of teams of people and gear. YouTube, personal NLE software, small cinema cameras, gimbals, drones are allowing the creative minds of the common enthusiast / small shop to develop true cinematic levels of production quality. Personally, I'm excited to see what story tellers will do with these tools. Hats off to at least one thing good about being in 2020.

Carry on creative people and continue to make your content for the world to see. We will be watching!

I feel like hollywood cameramen are stronger than the actors

[ShutterAuthority]

Great comparison. It was actually the cinema camera that was losing focus at times

[iamBraga]

I’m actually pleasantly surprised on the results. That crane really handles itself. I see there’s not winner or loser option here. This test showed that these gimbals can definitely compete. I love my Moza Air 2!

[Cookwiththebackpack]

Honestly, I can't tell when the gimbal went over the obstacle

[macbitz]

The thing I found really noticeable was how the operators moved. With the $600 gimbal the operator looked very tense like they were trying to do half the work the gimbal was supposed to do. With the Steadycam, Russ looked much more relaxed, letting the rig just do its thing especially noticeable in the moving around objects shot.

[DirectorCyclone]

This video just made me appreciate being a dslr shooter even more lol. We still get alot for these low prices.

[Rivenworld]

Great video, thanks for sharing. I did try a 'Flycam' setup with a Canon XF200 a couple of years ago but with 2 blown discs in my lower back I couldn't handle it. What amazes me is the weight these Steadicam operators manage to throw around like they weigh nothing. Take my hat off to ALL Steadicam operators, you guys ROCK!

[jaliljames]

That was SO SICK!! The red is such a beast, but the Sony can keep up, just imagine where both will be in another 5-10 years!

[novelafilmacademy]

Fascinating comparison between a $600 gimbal and a $200, 000 Hollywood Steadicam! Your detailed analysis and side-by-side footage offer valuable insights into the differences in stability and overall quality.

[baleka]

Ok, you convinced me of Russ' steadicam over the Crane2. Where's the link in the description?

[Alex_Ochoa]

Crazy that the Zhiyun is holding up against the steadi cam, I feel like they're both great, like he said there's a time and place for both 👌

[HistoricMetals]

2 years later, this was still fascinating. I was riveted. I bought a gimbal, received it DOA no op and returned it, never got another, and lately I've been wanting one again. This was amazing to watch.

[itschasemccoy]

I feel like they both do an amazing job for sure. I think the main difference I noticed is that with the 200k setup, your eyes barely move around the screen because the subject is in the same spot and the movement is flawless. With the crane, you can see that it doesn't keep up in that aspect but still provides really smooth shots
