Vlogging with a phone or small camera? Stabilized footage with the Osmo Mobile 2 or Zhiyun Crane-M

In this episode of Average Tech Fan, we cover two of the smaller and cheaper Powered Gimbals. A powered gimbal will help stabilize your footage if you plan to be filming while moving. Let's face it, if you are a Vlogger, all you seem to do is Run and Gun and film on the Go all the time, so a good Gimbal is a must. Otherwise your footage will look like crap as it will be all bouncy and jittery and no one want's to feel motion sickness while watching your channel. In this episode we cover the Osmo Mobile 2, which is designed to help stabilize the footage you get from a cell phone camera and the Zhiyun Crane-M which is designed to stabile smaller cameras. Although I do have a smaller Vlog Camera, the Canon G7X Mark 2, I have been able to use my full sized mirrorless camera, the Panasonic GH4, on the Crane-M. In this episode Janice and I take the two gimbals our for a walk in the forest and show the difference between the footage on the 2 gimbals and without. The difference is night and day. My favourite and best Camera setup is the Panasonic GH5 with the Metabones Speed Booster and the Sigma 18-35mm Lens with a Azden SMX30 shotgun Microphone. Just the Body alone of the GH5 is too bight for the Crane-M so clearly I needed a bigger Gimbal for that setup. So, I just bought and received the Zhiyun Crane 2 which can handle huge cameras setups up to 7lbs. That Beast will be covered in a future episode very soon, but, it is far larger than what most people who just are starting out or who only plan to Vlog will need and most can certainly have their needs met with these 2 smaller and cheaper gimbals.
