Guru Air 360 and Wearable Kit now available for preorder!

Image
The Guru Air 360, the first affordable gimbal for professional 360 cameras, and the Moza Wearable Kit, which is the first wearable kit for a 360 gimbal, are now available for preorder from GimbalGuru.com! GURU AIR 360 The Guru Air 360 is the big brother of the popular Guru 360, the first affordable gimbal for 360 cameras (reviewed here).  I saw the Guru Air 360 at NAB Show where GimbalGuru and Gudsen Moza representatives confirmed that it is capable of being used with cameras up to 1.5 kilos (3.3 lbs.), more than enough for professional 360 cameras such as the Z Cam S1 (1.43 lbs.) and small rigs such as the GoPro Omni (2.32 lbs.).  It can also carry the Insta360 Pro (although the Pro has built-in realtime image stabilization). In case you missed it, here's the Guru Air 360 from NAB Show 2017 (please hit the like button): The Guru Air 360 is available for preorder for $699 for delivery in June . WEARABLE KIT The wearable kit is a unique accessory that can be used with any of t...

FeiyuTech G360 panoramic gimbal for 360 cameras - unboxing and first impressions

Image
Last week, I received a review copy of the FeiyuTech G360 panoramic gimbal for 360 cameras.  Here is the unboxing, my first impressions, and sample videos! The G360 came with its own zippered semi-hard case, with four different size counterweights, a USB cable and three rubber caps (which cap the end of the support rod for the counterweights).  Here is the unboxing: The G360's design is different because the handle is offset and is not on the same vertical axis as the camera. On one hand, this makes the handle more visible.  On the other hand, this design allows you to move the handle freely around the camera.  See this demo: I've tried the G360 and here is a sample video while walking around at a local fair (shot with the 2016 Gear 360): In the first part of the video, I used all-lock mode, which keeps the camera pointed in the same direction all the time.  In the second part of the video, I used the follow mode which will only stabilize the pitch and roll. ...
