Wireless Follow Focus with Monitor from Wondlan

kicap — Sat, 25 May 2013 08:27:31 +0000

Hi guys,

I just got lucky and received this new Wireless FollowFocus Monitor system from Wondlan a few days ago. So far so good and the system is reliable enough for what it should be doing. I have not tried it with our BlackMagic Cinema Camera setup yet since the SDI-HDMI converter is still on its way.

Wondlan Mini Stabilizer .vs. Flycam Nano

Sph1nxster — Sun, 13 Jan 2013 12:18:13 +0000

Having now worked with both these handheld stabilizers i thought i would take the opportunity to give a fairly brief summary of the two and how they compare. Both these stabilizers have been used with both the GH2 + GH3 with a variety of lenses plus light when required.

FLYCAM NANO - £85

Initial setup for the Nano took around 3-4 hours, and was not a plesant experience. This would have been exaggerated by my lack of experience at the time with stabilisers but i had researched the concept and watched numerous videos on how to tune one and yet i was amazed at how difficult it was. Having spent nearly 6 months with the Nano, i found myself never truly able to get a perfectly tuned setup. It would work sometimes and then it would be placed on a table ready for the next shot and when picked up again it was out of balance. This would take some 2-3 minutes to sort out and sometimes I missed vital shots and had to abandon and go for the monopod. I must admit that laterally i ended up resorting to a rather crude method of balancing it, due to frustration, and this consisted of banging it until it was back in balance. I realise that this method ultimately knackered the whole unit but i was initially very patient with it.

PROS - Lightweight & Cheap
CONS - Difficult to adjust, not well built, weights at the bottom over complicate things (combined with little movement in the main shaft available)

WONDLAN MINI STABILIZER - £205

Of course, this lead to me purchasing a new stabiliser which after reading a lot of good things about Wondlan led me to purchase their Mini Stabiliser for just over £200. Being cheaper than the carbon model and smaller i thought this would be ideal for the GH3 + 12-35 lens. I am not joking when I say this, but from open box to flying... less than 5 minutes. I was amazed at how easily the unit could be adjusted and yet how stiff everything felt on it. I can literally run as fast as I can with this thing, place it down, pick it up and nothing changes. I have combined it with a Calumnet quick mount adaptor (manfrotto copy) and this works a treat at allowing me to jump from monopod to stabilizer and at the very most I have to do about 10-15 seconds of tweaks to get it perfect. The knobs at the side allow micro millimeter precision and with the scale at the side does not lead to subjective changes. What a fantastic bit of kit and it has re-ignited my enthusiasm for stabiliser shots once again!

PROS - Super easy to adjust, well made, looks fantastic (more professional IMO), massive amount of adjustment in both gimbal, shaft height and plate
CONS - Twice the price, bag is not padded (i'm scraping the barrel here)

I hope this helps with someone looking to take the leap into the world of stabilizers and not sure where to start.

DSLR RIG "Wondlan Sniper 2.0 (Deluxe 3)" for sale!

sir_danish — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 03:27:45 +0000

I´m selling my 8 months old and almost unused Rig from Wondlan. Location: Austria (Europe)

Included parts:

mattebox (the professional version of Wondlan´s matteboxes) --- follow focus + whip --- sholder pad --- baseplate --- hd monitor (type c) with resulution 1042x600 --- magic handgrip --- upper handle --- aluminum box --- power supply system --- front handles ---

The price here in Europe (including customs and taxes) is about 2000€ for this set. You can google it and convince yourself.

The reason for the sell is a malfunction of the front handles. They are not very stable, meaning you can´t tighten the screws as much as necessary. But this shouldn´t be a big problem, as you can replace them with other handles from the same or a different manufacturer. The rest of the Rig works fine and is absolutely sturdy!

Price: 640€

Best regards, Daniel
