The solution I landed on in the end was using the Kenyon Gyro Stabilizers on a simple shoulder rig, two of them, one for each axis. And I find it brought a lot, I had almost no visible vibrations from the helicopter. But still I had very unstable material, the Gyro’s are not enough for taking away that, then I think a Movi, Ghost or similar rig could be recommendable, without having tried it. What saved me was the Adobe Premiere Stabilizer, even if I had to crop a lot on some clips it gave me a totally different movie.

Lens was a Sigma 35mm on the 7d, but I often I wished I could go a bit closer without having to ask the pilot. In general I noticed that the closer I was to the ground the better the shots got since the movement is more visible, of course depending on what you are looking for.

And wear gloves, I forgot and at some point couldn’t feel my fingers anymore…

Ok, does this small gyro have specific name/come from a specific manufacturer? Would like to get one but not sure if Oslo will have to much to offer of equipment before Wednesday.

I found this one though, appears to be a good solution for a fair price:

Actually I see that the strobe effect is all what I need, it for me resembles the stop motion effect perfectly.

Thanx for all info Rafael

This is what I’m trying to achieve, but I’m not really able to find a good workflow for it:

Slowing it down even more helps, but I ended up at a solution where I make freeze frames every 15th frame, resulting in big “jumps” in the film, then extending the duration of each frame. It’s time consuming, but is closer to the effect I’m looking for.

Thanx for the info Rafael, tried it and it works but still have to admit that it’s not 100% doing what I’m looking for, want it’s still to “smooth”, even if I set the Strobe rate at 60. Are looking for something that removes the frames. Any idea?
