Hi!

Is there anybody who has the 32bit CAME-7000 3 Axis Gimbal DSLR Video Stabilizer? It would be awesome if you would share your experience!
It would be amazing if we could read some sort of comparison with movi 5 or 10....

Thanks so much!

Cheesycam has quite a bit of info about the CAME 7000. I don't think he has any comparisons to the MOVI or DEFY systems, but he has of good info on it.

Thanks so much!!!
It would be awesome to know whether it is worth waiting a little bit and save some more $ and buy Movi or Defy.
Came 7000 looks promising.
 
I've built a custom came-7000 with another 32 bit alexmos board and dual IMUs, it's not very well tuned yet but it seems pretty good, I'll post a couple of videos later.

Buying one of these means you're going to do a lot more tweaking and have to nurture it over a movi etc, but for me the price made it worthwhile.

Thanks so much! Do you see any difference regarding the quality of the final product, the footage? I don't mind spending time with it if I can save a few $1000....:)

I haven't used the 8 bit board. If you can afford to pour hours into it and learn how it works then IMO they're a great shout, I don't know about reliability though, I wouldn't want to take it on a paid shoot without testing it a lot more.

The footage is really smooth, even at this low level of tune so I'm super happy with it!
 
I've been keeping an eye on this, and I think we are not far away from something that is both affordable and usable for indies. Everything on the market so far is "a work in progress", none of them are ready for prime time, seems to me. That may change with the Varavon BirdyCam - ships Jul 1. It's still slightly more than I'd like to pay ($2300), but if it works well, it might be a good option. I personally think we're still not there - I'd like a stabilizer that is more user friendly in setup (electronic readouts and automation), and for the price to fall closer to $1K, and I think this will happen, but perhaps not soon enough if you're planning on using one soonish. Give it another 2-3 years, and we'll be there.
 
I finally got to play with my one! Still learning how to drive it hence the pretty bad framing but I'm super happy with how it's working.

I shot this last night, the PIDs still aren't perfect but it's getting there!

I know the focus is off in a few of the shots, it got knocked at some point and I haven't got my monitor set up on the gimbal for peaking yet.
