3-Axis Camera Stabilizer Gimbal

Image
Over the course of several hours thirty four different parts come together to produce just one of the high precision 3-axis camera stabilizer gimbals found in our Specter Stabilizer .   For precise alignment of the mounting holes, the middle layer of the gimbal starts out as a square .   Once the holes are drilled and threaded the corners are cut off prior to final rounding( Shown on right) . Designed with three layers that are machined together for a perfect fit, lighter weight, and calibration adjustment for perfect balance. .  It takes over seventy different parts to assemble just one of our Specter Stabilizers , seventeen of which are custom machined with tolerances of just a few thousandth of an inch. Here’s a close up look at just two of those custom parts found in the 3-axis gimbal. With high precision ultra low friction surfaces, the new fully ceramic main bearing will give you the super smooth footage you need. ...

Nifty Fifty Battle - Canon EF 50mm F/1.8 II vs Canon EF 50mm F/1.8 STM Lenses

Image
  Canon lovers have long enjoyed the 50mm lens, so much so that they nicknamed it the Nifty Fifty. Over the years Canon has come out with a few variations of it.  We're going to compare two of those, the Canon EF 50mm F/1.8 II , and the Canon EF 50mm F/1.8 STM . Both lenses are of course 50mm, have an aperture of 1:1.8, and lack image stabilization, so we're going to focus more on the differences between the two in this blog post. Lens mount - [Winner] Canon EF 50mm F/1.8 STM Canon EF 50mm F/1.8 STM: Metal Canon EF 50mm F/1.8 II: Plastic Starting with the painfully obvious difference between the two, the Canon EF 50mm F/1.8 STM features a metal lens mount, which means it'll hold up a lot longer when it comes to users that switch lenses on a regular basis.  If you're the type that sticks with just one lens, I wouldn't consider this a deal breaker. Aperture blades - [Winner] Canon EF 50mm F/1.8 STM Canon EF 50mm F/1.8 STM: 7 blades Canon EF 50mm F/1.8 II: 5 blades...

DIY Camera Stabilizer Build - The Stabilizer Base Plate

Image
You're probably asking yourself why we chose to start off our DIY stabilizer build series with a part that seems so simple.  Just strap on a plate with some weights and move on right?  This is a part that regularly gets neglected, both in DIY rigs and Commercial stabilizers as well.  The base plate actually serves several key functions, so in the quest for a more stable rig spending some time on the design of your base plate is well worth it. Its the mounting point for your Counter-Weights If designed it can be used as a stand for smaller rigs It controls the inertia of the stabilizer - Key factor   Material Anything from wood to plastic to metal works as long as it's strong enough.  It needs to be able to support the counter-weights, and if you plan on using it as a stand keep the stabilizer upright.  We prefer to use ABS plastic sheet because it's both strong and light weight.  If you go with a 3/8" thick sheet like we offer in our D...
