DJI RS 2 Combo – 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer for DSLR and Mirrorless Camera, Nikon Sony Panasonic Canon Fujifilm, 4.5kg Payload, Carbon Fiber, Touchscreen, Black
Great price - cheapest I've seen is $1597.99
Marked s limited time offer but can't see an end date.
CamelCamelCamel.
Because they need to hold a very heavy camera/lens combo on a gimbal.
Yep. Agreed. Would work well with my Sony FX6.
I have a normal stand for that though. Are people taking videos with the expensive cameras?
My DSLR is used for photography purposes for which it doesn't need a gimbal.
But I wouldn't use my DSLR for video.
Well, they've been doing it for a decade or so, it's not a new thing.
Professional camera operators are definitely taking videos with expensive cameras. Is this like a joke question or something? 🤯
Unless you mean the gimbal was designed for dslrs? It holds cameras up to 4.5kg which can hold most semi-pro level camera and lens combinations.
@bargainshooter: I was intending to ask if the DSLRs are used for video recording professionally. I really thought that there are video cameras with auto stabilising features already. So I'm a bit perplexed where this sits
@maverickjohn: Image stabilisation in camera or in lens is very useful for small/micro vibrations, but gimbals/steadicams/glidecams provide something no image stabilisation can achieve. They are used to create "cinematic" movements, gliding from one point to another, often moving with/around and tracking a subject, whilst keeping the horizon and adjusting smoothly between each step. Similar (but often smaller) gimbals are deployed on many drones - the tech was actually originally developed for drone borne cameras and evolved to hand held configurations by Movi. The Steadicam was created in 1991 and is still used extensively with massive broadcast cameras.
Lol if you think that's very expensive you've obviously never heard of the Movi.
Yes - and some very neat features with the combo kit. With the Raveneye you can transmit the image from the camera to a phone and use the gyroscope in your phone to control the tilt / roll of the gimbal.
Bit the bullet. Bought one.
I'd shopped all over for the pro kit as recently as yesterday and even grey imports were coming out above this price. Was surprised to see them discounted.
Damn, literally just picked one up yesterday after ordering it 2 weeks back. Paid $1490
It might sound $$ but it has so many good features if you are into Video - especially Raven eye transmitter
wierd they havent mentioned PRO in the description. It is listed further down in the item number and the images show the pro version with the extra cables/raven eye etc
That's a very expensive gimbal.
I'm sure there's a reason for someone to buy this.
I just can't think of one.
