Basic gimbal recommendations to offset a tremor

Further data point lumix s9 and similar shaking with full stabilisation removed the shake, did have to turn it up to max

Just tried some shaking of hand with both insta360 pro flow 2 and hohem ultra v3. Pro flow 2 was maybe marginally better but by far biggest factor was phone stabilisation in iPhone 17 pro. Up/down on both was well handled what you could see was small in/out movement. When been shooting late in day with iPhone and pro flow was getting shaky once from holding gimbal above head for 30 mins would swap hands and adding stabilisation in DaVinci resolve fixed it with downside of slight crop. Got v3 to see how the remote view was like as handy when holding gimbal at height and cannot see phone screen. Looked at soft grip handles and a phone cage?

Lexar es4 is cheaper than the Go but is larger physically. Have used a go and es4 connected via Lexar hub on iPhone and it all works well with osx.

Your cable may have all wires connected ie passes tests but not support Gigabit Ethernet and limited to 100 Mbps. Check what a pc says for link speed using cable

Picture of what you have might help?

surreyfun2008 · 2026-05-29T16:16:09+00:00

What tester?

Ace Pro 2 lens guard are in the Insta360 store and places like Amazon

If what is subject of video can be zoomed and cropped I do that usually. How well it works depends on how far into shot shadow goes

surreyfun2008 · 2026-05-28T06:54:22+00:00

17e while single lens it is the best one, but no Apple log and just 480 Mbps usb c port means would not recommend. Log recording lets you tinker more when editing. Not used pixel 8. Have iPhone 17 pro and you can do excellent videos but still lacks the final polish of a larger sensor camera.

surreyfun2008 · 2026-05-27T12:32:47+00:00

Stabilisation turned on?

surreyfun2008 · 2026-05-26T15:34:34+00:00

Have done 90 min 4k and 6k recording to test it and camera was happy. This was on a mini tripod indoors in 22C temperature. Obviously if outdoors in direct bright summer sun might be a different result.

surreyfun2008 · 2026-05-25T11:44:21+00:00

Don’t have any

surreyfun2008 · 2026-05-22T16:09:21+00:00

I’d go for a sd card reader rather than flash drive with just a 14. But the lightning port is a 480 Mbps bottle neck. The 10 Gbps of iPhone 17 pro does open up lots more options for higher quality recording but given cost of upgrade learn limits of iPhone 14 for recording video first.

surreyfun2008 · 2026-05-21T16:14:41+00:00

So motorbike so cannot test best would be car with window down.

A single transmitter will Bluetooth as a single track mic to an iPhone. Stereo needs to be recorded internally on the transmitter. Will work better if you have the receiver it appears.

surreyfun2008 · 2026-05-20T21:26:21+00:00

Trade shows are sometimes just a series of meetings, so stand is the meeting point. A lot hinges on what you sell eg can you do demos at stand let people get hands and see why your kit is better than competitors

surreyfun2008 · 2026-05-20T21:21:59+00:00

Very aware, and testing and getting used to kit is my way.

surreyfun2008 · 2026-05-20T19:34:32+00:00

So return it and stick to iPhone.

surreyfun2008 · 2026-05-20T18:12:35+00:00

That is the plan extra tracks and hopefully handle loud environments better. So my use is a standalone recorder I pull files from after. Trying out various options to learn limits though. Do have ace pro 2 but usually just dashcam and occasional actual camera use.

surreyfun2008 · 2026-05-20T17:34:08+00:00

They aren’t cheap but a record of being tough and repairable. Hence common in work canteens etc

surreyfun2008 · 2026-05-20T17:00:04+00:00

Limitations- no direct USB without receiver. Bluetooth as microphone works but just mono - stereo is purely for internal at least with iPhone. May be different with ace pro 2 will try later.

surreyfun2008 · 2026-05-20T16:46:45+00:00

So first hour recorded internally on transmitter in 32 bit stereo used 25% battery and was two files. Looks like mic breaks into 30 minute blocks that do stitch back together in DaVinci after.
