Flycam HD-3000 Reviews
Great Product, but...
The vest is a good product, fits well, works well and stabilizes the overall shot well, but the Flycam stabilizer itself is difficult to control. It rotates VERY easily and makes controlling the shot level almost impossible. I find I'm over correcting to get the shot where it needs to be. The Flycam stabilizer is of course balanced, but the operator needs to really pay attention to how the stabilizer slows the camera down to control a holding shot. The vest really helps a lot when holding on a shot for any length of time. That's why I've switched to a gimble for total camera movement and control.
Serious Business!
This unit does not mess around- it's a pretty intense piece of machinery for someone (me) not used to steady cam technology. But it definitely does what it says it's going to do. For my larger camera, I have to use most of the weights to stabilize, which makes for a heavy load, most of which ends up being supported by my lower back/spine.
