jhn.holgate Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 Gave the Fei Yutech WG wearable gimbal a run on the picavet mount for some video. Finally, some steady video from a kite! (well, at least compared to all my other attempts). The FY WG is a terrific little device - I'll get a review of it up over the next few weeks. I've used it on the gopro pole and the helmet and it does a great job of smoothing out the video...except for vertical vibrations/jumps - it can't do much about those. It can follow you movements/direction if you want it to with panning follow and tilt follow but it can also lock into 'I'm pointing this way only' mode which is what I'm using on the kite - which will also be useful on the helmet in the buggy - no more 'look at kite' 'look where I'm going' 'look at kite' 'look where I'm going' 'look at kite' - by which time I've usually erased or turned off the video... windstruck, IMK, bakersdozen and 3 others 6 Quote

Out of interested how much is said gimbal @jhn.holgate? $439 from these guys: SkyTech It's $30 cheaper on HK but it's on backorder. Skytech got it to me in 48 hours via normal post so I'm pretty happy with that. Quote
