This is like a camera man's agony aunt website! Absolutely brilliant. All of the issues you mention I go through all the time, what should I spend, how much is reasonable? Thanks for posting this. I did laugh at 0509m when you jumped up and down, what were the neighbours thinking??? Keep up the good work. Bravo!

The problem with that design is that it's sensitive to wind

Hi. I used the panasonic Nv-GS500 on it. As long as you have a standard 1/4" tripod screw thread on your camera I don't see why it shouldn't fit.

I know you don't want answer questions about which cameras fit the U-Flycam, but I am about to buy one and the people at the shop on ebay aren't giving me straight answers; do you know if the Panasonic gs400 fits U-Flycam?
P.s thanks for a great review!

Hi - A general rule of thumb is to use less weight than you think you need. When you move in X or Y directions, the idea is that the bottom end moves simultaneously, and doesn't "drag" behind - causing the dreaded pendulum effect.
Might be worth considering adding weight to the upper end if you are using a light camera.
good luck.

Hi there ! I am wondering where may I go abouts to purchasing one of those Handy U cams? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! Great Job on your U tube videos I am a big fan. I like to produce a music video in the near future and I find your tutorials real handy. |
