Re: FeiYu FY-G4 3 or Nebula 4000 lite.
Ah ok, I hadn't seen you mention this here before, which 3 axis gimbal did you get for a while, the Nebula?

I did not test this so don't know but I know a user who has a Nebula, I will mail him to see if he can find out.

I can't see me really needing to use the two stabilizers at the one time and that's why I thought if one stabilizer like the Nebula could do both. That idea of yours would mean you could use "both cameras, ...at the same time" :) Thanks Noa. |

About the Nebula being able to support a gopro, I just want to know if filmpower's claim is accurate, since I have not been able to find such a uservideo back online it might be interesting for other users to find out if a gopro only could be used. The feiyu is only interesting if you need a very small and light gimbal, like when you are traveling and just want to take a minimum amount of gear with you. |

Re: FeiYu FY-G4 3 or Nebula 4000 lite.
I would have liked a bit more detail in their reply to my email.
I've ask them again and this time I've ask them if they are 100% sure the GoPro can be used with the Nebula 4000 lite. So, we'll see what they say this time. |

Re: FeiYu FY-G4 3 or Nebula 4000 lite.
Hi Noa
Nope it was the FeiYu again that I was using with my SJ4000 camera so it's the GoPro version.. I replaced the 2 axis one after you told me that it would struggle going sideways and you were correct. However it still wasn't good on rough terrain at all ! I have a very lightweight Weildy stedicam rig and the vest, arm and sled all up are less than 10kg (minus the camera of course) It's really nice to use! I actually liked the DJ Ronin the best but at 4.25kg without a camera I could seriously see an arm fatigue issue!! Chris |

Re: FeiYu FY-G4 3 or Nebula 4000 lite.
If you want to use a smarthphone on the nebula there is a special mount included to hold that phone but not for a gopro. I had answer from that other user that he didn't test either but doubt it was possible because a gopro had virtually no weight for the Nebula to balance.
We have to give the supplier the benefit of the doubt but if there are no user videos to confirm this and there are no images on the suppliers website that show a gopro mounted then it would be weird if it was possible. I do believe the Nebula is not the tool to use a gopro only on and you should use smaller gimbals, like the feiyu, which come prebalanced, but if the supplier advertises that this works he has to back this up with footage. On filmpowers website it also says it's suited for a gopro but I wonder why no image of the stabilizer with a gopro is shown. |

Re: FeiYu FY-G4 3 or Nebula 4000 lite.
Sorry didn't get back sooner. I bought it on EBay was an auction and I guess I was lucky. I did panic a bit encase it was a scam but all worked out good.

Re: FeiYu FY-G4 3 or Nebula 4000 lite.
Hi Noa
Quite correct for anyone wanting to use an SJ4000 on the gimbal. You need to take a trip to your local hardware store and buy longer screws as the supplied ones just make it to the thread! Sadly I also had to carry a small jeweller's screwdriver with me too as I couldn't find any thumbscrews that size but it wasn't a big issue at all .... Apart from that they work well with the SJ400 but sadly the mount at the back blocks the LCD screen so I bought an all in one 2.5" LCD monitor and mounted it on the back motor ..worked very well and you can see what you are filming. Yes, they are so convenient!! I had the entire kit fitting into a small Pelican case ...so definitely pocket sized! Chris |
