Citizen Press Corp and http://www.Merkabafilmgroup.com has a difficult time keeping up with the racing technologies of film making... hint hint https://www.patreon.com/MFG

Technology leaps ahead every year. Hopefully this gimble will last at least a year before something else comes out! Bought a Beholder unit for just over 500 about a year ago, not this Zhiyun M Crane comes out and blows it away.
You'll be the first to see how good it is in real life.

The Beholder still does a great job, but has a shorter battery life, is a bit quirky, especially if you have to touch the lens or adjust anything on the menu's of the camera.
First, here is a test we did last year when we first got the Beholder...

MFG trying out the new TRD BeHolder MS1 camera stabilization system for smaller DSLR cameras.
So far, an amazing product at an awesome price point!
Using the Panasonic Lumix GH 4 on the BeHolder MS1 and thats it...
Unless your shooting with a RED .... You need one of these bad boys!


Agile, nimble, intuitive and build like a brick porta potty, The BeHolder MS1 is a 9 out of 10 3 Thumbs up from Merkaba Film Group!
Keep the amazing new, effective and obtainable tools for the indi film makers everywhere!

Now here is a great review by James Matthews

@citizenpresscorp - Gimbals are super cool! I wanna try my Feiyu-tech gimbal on roller-blades to smooth out my videos more. BTW, I love your Steemit gif!

Just take it and use it! Yes a camera and gimble on skates is amazing, but alas, I'm too old for such folly!! LOL I'll keep both feet on the ground...Maybe a golf cart haha

The Crane M really is a great bit of kit for anyone using a point and shoot camera or a lightweight mirrorless camera rig. It can provide you with some excellent image stabilization.
