  • I agree VK but with the Came Mini im spreading it over two arms so much less fatique

  • You can support the gimbal with two hands and also switch hands. Hold it close to your body and change the positions. It is possible. But I would not want to record a whole concert with that for example.

  • i could only dream of using my one hand stabiliser for such a length of time.

    You need a light one and also use NX500 + pancake :-)

  • I've used the Came Mini on one shot for 10 minutes continuous, i could only dream of using my one hand stabiliser for such a length of time.

  • Well it depends how you hold it. If you hold it far out you will get tired pretty soon. If you hold it closer to the body and sometimes support it with the second hand (like you can see in the video) I think you can go for quite a while. Like 10-15 minutes. I think you can develop a technique how to hold it. It weight 2.3 Kilo the way I have it. Test it for yourself. Take a large bottle or something with that weight and try it out. I am very happy with this gimbal so far.

  • @AKED, I particularly liked the dog playing video and how the gimbal handled it. With the setup you have, how soon before you start experiencing fartique on you hands do you think? I'm looking at this for use on event shoots; weddings.

  • In this third video where I test the Came Single 3 axis Gimbal for www.personal-view.com, you see the gimbal being n action scenes with a dog.

    The camera is a GH4 with the 12-35 lens, the 2nd camera a Gopro Hero4 black on a Lanparte Gimbal HHG1.

    I am always interested, how the gimbal handles extreme situations. So here you have me running besides my dog in full speed and my son playing ball with my dog. On either scenes I can not do the soft "steady cam steps" trying to avoid hard steps when walking. I just go where I have to go, as seen in the Gopro videos.

    Again I think, the Came Single handles the situations very good.

    Let me know what you think.

  • In this second video where I test the Came Single 3 axis Gimbal for Personal View.com, you see the gimbal being used in a car. The camer is a GH4 with the 12-35 lens.

    You see 3 different kind of shots.: The gimbal Inside of the car filming forward, the gimbal inside of the car filming to the rear and the gimbal outside of the car filming to the front.

    The road is very bumpy so you can see how the gimbal stabilizes the camera under difficult conditions. I think it does an excellent job.

    The second camera is a Gopro Hero 4 black mounted on a Lanparte HHG1 gimbal

  • Personal View Gear Test: Came Single

    This is the first video where I test the Came Single 3 axis Gimbal for Personal View.com You see the unboxing of the Came Single gimbal as well as the mounting of the camera and the balancing. You will see the differnet modes and how it can be used.. I also talk a little about the possibilities and the advantages of this gimbal.

    More videos will follow where I shoot with the Came Single.

  • Has any considered buy the original Came Mini and replacing the adjustment screws with thumb screws to make it toolless? I feel the price difference between the original and the toolless version is a little steep if they only changed the screws.

  • @Vitaliy_Kiselev

    I was corresponding with CAME-TV and they just gave me an understandable explanation for the lack of the inverted mode for the Single. The first explanation was that it is due to "the structure factor," which did not explain anything.

    Katherine of CAME wrote: "it is due to the cable construction. kindly know that the single could only roast within 180 degree, (to protect the inner cables and wires), but if inverted, it need roast the roll axis and the cage 360 degree, so does not work." (The word "roast" obviously means "rotate.")

    If this is correct, they would need to modify the mechanical design, not just the firmware.

  • Came Single looks great. I'm torn between this and Came Mini 2.

  • @DMZ

    Just go to nearest DIY market/shop and make yourself O like or U like handle, need just metal stripe, 1/4" screw and some foam.

  • Thanks, Vitaliy! Would I be at least able to hold the handle horizontally, thus having the camera at my hand level? I know that I could use a sort of C-bracket with a handle on the top but that's quite cumbersome.

  • The lack of inverted mode on the CAME single is a big problem for me. Does anyone know if they are going to implement it soon?

    I can tell you about this :-) Directly from manufacturer :-)

    Issue with inverted mode and Sigle gimbal is the use of encoders. Present controllers do not support inverted mode in such design. It is software thing, so firmware can change this.

    For now only top gimbals use double sensors and encoders on motors.

  • The lack of inverted mode on the CAME single is a big problem for me. Does anyone know if they are going to implement it soon? (... please don't tell me to ask the manufacturer - I am waiting for the answer :) )
