The key features are: It has Canon EOS camera control handle. You can adjust Focus, Start/Stop recording, adjust Iris and Magnify for focus. One battery powers entire Rig - Gimbal, Camera and Monitor. It has Carbon Fiber frame and can lift up to 2 Kg. It has 32bit controller and 2 IMU's

Our goal was to build Fully Featured Gimbal for affordable price. We use inexpensive Chineese carbon Gimbal Frame with some modifications to increase its strength, Aputure V-Grip for camera control, 32bit Storm32 controller with 2 IMU sensors, and optional Feelworld FW759 monitor for monitoring.

very little information, specs but at that price and with Paypal I'm tempted to try one out.

Hmmm sounds tempting at the expected pricepoint of $10K less than Freefly

Is there a reason folks aren't equally enthusiastic about the MiniSturdyFlight?

To my eyes, they look like comparable products... but it seems like all the MiniSturdyFlight videos on youtube have MUCH smoother stabilization (than the H1). Most H1 videos appear to have shake, bounce, obvious walking/running, while the MiniSturdyFlight ones look consistently smoother.

Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks for your insight!

There aren't many review (or any really) for the all steady but from what I can tell it seems pretty limited in terms of having access to different modes. There are 5 modes which are pre-programmed to:

User Setting 1: Lighter configurations with full follow. (e.g. Panasonic GH4 and the Sony A7S/A6000) User Setting 2: Medium configurations with full follow. (e.g. Canon 5D Mark ii/iii camera with up to 24-70mm & 24-105mm lenses) User Setting 3: Heavier configurations with full follow. (e.g. Canon 5D Mark ii/iii camera with up to 70-200mm & Red Scarlet/Epic/Dragon which requires optional extension brackets or cage upgrades.) User Setting 4: Lighter configurations with disabled joystick under multirotor or with optional wireless joystick to work on top of tripods or under crane. User Setting 5: Medium configurations with disabled joystick under multirotor or with optional wireless joystick to work on top of tripods or under crane.

Their idea being that once you receive the gimbal you'll never have to adjust any PID settings since they have presets that should have you covered. However what this means in reality is that you only really have 2 modes to use - "full follow" and "Wireless joystick". Your other 3 modes are taken up with presets for cameras you may or may not use. And if you're operating a heavier camera then its just one mode!

I called Turbo Ace about this and they said they would pre-program any mode(s) you needed for your order, but that would take up one of the 5 slots. That would be fine if you knew what camera you'd be flying for your duration of your ownership of the gimbal but if, say 6 months down the line, you change cameras and you go up or down a weight bracket you'd have to send the gimbal back to Turbo Ace for them to re-program the gimbal. They'd charge for this a rate of something like $150 per hour.

Now I've never owned or operated a gimbal before but it seems a bit strange to me to be kinda locked in to what ever you have when you order the gimbal, unless you're willing to pay up. It would be great to know from other Gimbal owners if the "full follow" mode is enough. The gimbal comes with a thumb joystick btw.

Are any AllSteady 6 owners who can give some feedback on their experience so far?

Thanks

I would really love to know any user experiences regarding the Feiyu G4 for GoPro.

I am interested in:

• Usability
• Battery Life
• Responsiveness
• Ability to change angle

I have seen videos where the Nebula 4000 its ok, another where are deficient. The Pilotfly H1 is in the same line of Nebula, preliminary tests are encouraging, but those videos are made by the manufacturer and dont know the conditions under which they were made, it is always see better user testing in the real world, but its very new. The third option is the Came Mini, but here the price is more expensive.

Im open to another options, but under U$700.

Thanks friends.

New hand held gimbal a la Pilotfly - videos on the website look good, and afaik its a 32-bit controller. Max weight - 1.3kg. Price? 849 euro. Other interesting stuff under development too..

I came across the interesting alternative to the Inspire 1. They are currently still pre-selling at their Indiegogo pricing. Features include:

1. Optical Flow sensor for indoor operation
2. Ultra sonic sensors for collision avoidance and smoother landings
3. Detachable payload with 3-axis gimbal option for larger than Go Pro cameras up to 450 grams. (requires 8x Arm upgrade)
4. Swam technology that allows for flying 3 drones at the same time while tracking each other's position for coordinated multi-drone shoots.
5. Follow me mode so that it will chase you by following your cell phone's GPS.
6. Smart phone control
7. Goes up to 42 miles per hours with the 8x arm upgrade
8. Has a built-in speaker that will talk to you and provide its status
9. Hardshell backpack case for those who want to take it in the wild or keep it safe in transport
10. Low introductory pricing - shipping March/April so they anticipate.

Not sure how much longer they will keep the price at this level. I purchased a few days ago and the website continues to say 1 day left...

My purposes is for very low budget productions to add in a little bit of basic aerial shots to include into videos I do at the moment, such as weddings, real estate videos, and the odd corporate shoot (and for the various no budget things I do now and then such as films and music videos).

My short list would be (with the CX20 looking like my favourite):

http://www.banggood.com/Cheerson-CX20-Opensource-Version-AutoPathfinder-Quadcopter-RTF-p-932145.html http://www.banggood.com/WLtoys-V666-5_8G-FPV-6-Axis-RC-Quadcopter-With-HD-Camera-Monitor-RTF-p-944001.html http://www.banggood.com/Flying-3D-X8-6-Axis-2_4G-8CH-GPS-FPV-RC-Quadcopter-RTF-p-934779.html http://www.dx.com/p/walkera-qr-x350-5-ch-one-key-go-home-r-c-quadcopter-w-gps-altitude-hold-system-bnf-white-245208#.VOVf-NgcSuA http://www.dx.com/p/wltoys-v303-2-4g-4-ch-r-c-aircraft-w-gps-automatic-return-camera-suitable-for-gopro-hero3-3-330169#.VOVgCdgcSuA

All can carry a GoPro on them. (though the second one, the cheapest, requires some modding I think, and does stretch the lift capacity to the limits)

FPV + Gimbal for the GoPro would both be "nice to haves" as well.

Though both things that can be purchased later on to add to the quadcopter, and not right now.

Anything else I'm missing or should be considering, please point out! :-)
