I want to mount a camera on the outside of my van (Ford Transit medium roof) in order to use it to shoot cars driving.
I think a gimbal would be the way to go for smoother video, and I want to be able to control it from inside the van.
I plan on fabricating a camera mount to attach the camera setup to the factory hitch.
I also plan on getting some type of magnetic mount
maybe this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/prod...ls_rmxl_12m_rigmount_xl_brushless_gimbal.html
to attach a camera to the top rear, top front and high on the side.
So knowing this, is something like Zhiyun Crane 2, too light duty and tall to cope with wind?
I like the simplicity of the Zhiyun and the new one can be controlled via usb cable remote.
Is something more like a Ronin MX a better idea? It is said to have better motors than the "M" and can be controlled via wireless controller, but I wonder if that will be a big issue trying to operate it from within the van (aka a big metal box)?
I've never used a Ronin and don't know if this is a good choice and a hassle.
The cameras I plan to use are mirrorless size or smaller.
This has been a long term goal of mine for years so I hope to actually do it now
