Dolly wins for sure :)

Yeah I do understand that sort of feeling guys, when you spending decades and freaking amount of money building your gear and some prank with cheap crap saying he can do that. This is widely happens in the entire industry - you can feel that, thanks for RED - no more overnight dailies, no more DOP staying next to god, everything can be instantly played back and become questionable right away, magic about unprecedented professionalism slowly dissipates... Every project on a budget :) sorry. And damn Canucks (and I'm proudly one of them) keep stealing job's from California :))) And wide lenses - you know, people like it, THEY think it is cool, thanks for go pro camera who's made them tasteless, ha ha. If someone made almost the same gear for couple dimes, 99.99% of the clients will accept the result, cause it will be so damn close. So we struggling for 0.01% of perfectionists, who still wants to shoot film instead of Alexa/RED and pay super cool Steadicam DOP $20K per day? I'm not sure. Some of us really frustrated, others look for opportunity.

Hows what? the footsteps? the slo-mo? the superwide cheater lens? Glad you like it :)

How's that?

Another sexy gizmo for big bucks. It is pretty cool and useful device but extremely overpriced and overestimated. Good marketing though :) Some scepticism sum-up's : 1) It is not the first handheld stabilizer - Kenyon gyros could give you very good result. Just fraction of the cost. Heavy as hell, yeah, 10 minutes to spin:) 2) Very good quality UAV gimbal cost today around $1-2K with servos and brain and does pretty similar things, not as good, but close. And before this product appear on market will be plenty of competitors knock - off's, so hold on your bucks peeps :) Sure it will be much cheaper soon. 3) Thing can handle axis compensation but what about STEPS? Up and down? This was actually almost the main reason for Sir Garret Brown to create steadicam - get rid of footsteps junk on the camera with iso-elastic arm. MJOVIE (oh boy) can not compensate that - even sexy Laforet's promo has lot of recognizable footsteps, kinda lame thing in steadicam world, sure? BTW here's some video I made with my rig, and I'm not giving up on using it :) No stabilizing, of cause. http://vimeo.com/66145810

Wow such a badass conversation here :) Pretty fun. btw here is my example of using stabilizer rig (creepy and cheap, made in USA)
