![]() Most productions want some sort of audio running into the camera for a speedier post workflow. Wireless video, and especially audio, getting mounted to the camera can be complicated on the smaller gimbals that are so popular at the moment. One of the biggest drawbacks to stabilizing your camera is how hard it is to get things in and out of that camera. You have your ports with the stabilization That in and of itself is huge, but adding to that the vertical bar is the killer app that will make this a new kind of camera that you learn to use in a new way.ģ. But for a lot of work, especially rigged to items like cars and bicycles, this is going to be a complete game-changer even more than the stabilization on the head. It's only inches of vertical stability, not feet. Of course, you'll still need to have some smoothness. Even one of the issues with learning to use a gimbal, how to minimize the up and down from your steps, is smoothed out with a combination of that vertical Z-axis arm and a ground sensor. Something we used to practice for hours when learning to be operators is now smoothed out. This gives you smoother, cleaner shots even when running along with your subject. It's doing a vertical stabilization, with a ground sensor. But the 4D is doing a sophisticated version of that, and more. ![]() Not to insult the Osmo it's a super fun unit and offers up a ton of fun options, including bike mounting or crane shots at the end of the Charters Pole, that we've used even on some pro gigs. While in a lot of ways you can think of the 4D as a "very sophisticated DJI Osmo," it's more than that. Vertical stabilization with a ground sensor The combo monitor/receiver was immensely novel a few short years ago, and now it seems to be the default.Ģ. If you are trying to figure out why the image isn't making it to your monitor, it's good to see where in the chain the issue is, and if you can see the picture on the receiver but not your monitor, you know the issue is cabling, not wireless. It never hurts to have more monitoring options, assuming they are giving a nice-looking image. ![]() That unit has SDI out and USB-C control and HDMI out and appears super robust, but it also comes with a monitor, whether you need it or not. So even if you want to run the video to your 50" Plasma, you are getting a receiver that has its own 5" screen built-in. From what we can tell at this point, there is no other receiver. The new wireless system on the 4D seems to only have a receiver with a built-in monitor. With the new 4D, it seems like things are changing yet again. Then, a few years ago, SmallHD and Teradek really improved the situation with an integrated wireless receiver/monitor that made for a smaller, easier-to-work-with unit.īuilt-in wireless receiver, powered off one battery-life is just better. You can only get the wireless receiver with a monitorįor a long time in video, if you wanted wireless video, you had to use an external box you mounted on a monitor.
