Hello everyone,

I made a video yesterday afternoon. I think that I need more practise.

Small size around 10mbytes encoded with wmv format

Full screen size around 133mbytes encoded with wmv format

The camera I was using was JVC GY-DV5000 with Fujinon s20x6.4brm-sd lense which weighs around 6kg for the whole camera.

Regards
Leigh

Wow - 11 minutes of the back of a guys head. Couldn't be more boring....:laugh: but I understand it was just stabilizer test footage.
What type of stabilizer did you use?
It looks pretty smooth. You just need to work on composition. Shots varied from too much head room to chopping his head off. But it was steady......

My diy stablizer. I hope to commercialize it in a short time.

It is very hard to follow. How can I train myself?

TIA

Sorry, I am applying New Zealand patent application and I can't show you the pictures.

Strictly in terms of smoothness, it looked pretty good to me.

I guess you could argue that ease-of-maintaining-framing-and-composition is an important virtue in a stabilizer, but that's more of a practice-issue, right?

Anyway, like I said, looks to me like it scores high for smoothness.
 
dang this video dragged like hell but anyhow it looked pretty smoothed! You could of at least ran with it and maybe did a few side shots, etc.
 
I know I've lived too long in a high crime area when the title of this thread sounds more like a news headline than a forum topic.
 
As mentioned elsewere Leigh, it is gettign smoother, but you still need lots of practice. 11min of that was WAY too boring! Think like this: when watchign TV, a commercial is 30seconds long, that is how long the seller has to convince the viewer of the product. And even then, most viewers get bored during most breaks...

How long can this patent application take? We've been waiting ages for pictures of this (somehow new?) stabilizer.

Thanks

That is a hard job to convince the buyer.

Someone asked me to show how my stabilizer cope with stairs and running, fast moving action? So I shot a video last evening and here is the link

http://www.salenz.com/movie/2005_10_4.m2p

It is shot by Panasonic NV-GS400. The camera including battery and tape weighs around 800g. I turned off optical stablizer inside the camera to offer some fairness.

I did not manage to encode with WMV format as it was too fuzzy using that format. I ended up with DVD mpeg2 format. It should be played by software DVD player i.e. PowerDVD, Microsoft Windows Media Player.

Well Leigh I hope to god that this is one really 'out of this world type stabilizer' will blow us all in terms of design. Like Mikko said, we've been waiting for it like centuries. I'm keepig my expectations low so as to not foul the surprise when you finally present us with this 'Unseen' stabilizer.

Again you must try and keep your compression down. They are too big and on top of that- shorter. Like Mikko said, the viewer gets bored after a while. You must try and understand that. I for one would not like to see a 10 min video based on the same endless clip all the time.

Just a little friendly advice my friend. Another advice or maybe a tip; why not wait 'till you have your stabilizer patent worked out before you start showing us clips upon clips of a stabilzier we cannot see? Lots of people will fianally get tired and bored before you finally decide to show it. And if it doesn't present itself as to what people may expect of it, they will quickly turn it down. Then again - I could be totally wrong. ;)
