I have been shooting on a few locations where there used to be coalmines, today I went to "c-mine", the mining buildings have all been restored and you can climb one of the towers for some nice views. Took only my Feiyu g4 and gopro with me.
I had quite some issues with the wifi connection today and the gopro acting up a bit, had to remove the battery once because it locked up and several times the app on my phone refused to connect with the gopro, I use my phone to control the gopro and to have a screen.
What pissed me off the most was that for whatever reason I accidentally selected 25p while I planned on shooting 2.7k 50p because I wanted to slow down my movement 50%, that helps a lot to smooth out the motion but unfortunately that didn't work out. My movements are too fast now for my liking but it will have to do because 25p doesn't slow down gracefully.
The feiyu g4 is not a very good stabilizer, I have quite some issues getting smooth motion from it, that's why 27k 50p is essential to get more useful shots. I have been trying the Nebula 4000 for a few days with my gh4 and that one was a lot better but was quite a handful to finetune. The feiyu you can use as-is.
This will be my last "motion" video, have been doing several in a row with these handheld gimbal stabilizers and feel the need to do something else, my next video will be back to basics, some nice tripod shots with my black magic pocket cam. :)
