Title: Stabilizer for video for DSLR + telephoto lens
Post by: Dumc on January 23, 2021, 08:45

Hi,

when I go shooting wildlife (deer especially) I also like to shoot some video. Does anybody know, is there such thing as a 3 axis video stabilizer os something similar that you can put for example between tripod and camera so it would reduce camera shakes or any similar equipment.

Like this video https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-29498191-wild-roe-deer-grazing-field (https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-29498191-wild-roe-deer-grazing-field)  it's pretty shaky, I used only tripod andlens stabilization, I'd like to reduce those shakes.

Thanks

I have this one: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1301198-REG/really_right_stuff_cb_ys_qr_pkg_long_lens_y_support_package.html. (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1301198-REG/really_right_stuff_cb_ys_qr_pkg_long_lens_y_support_package.html.) But in this form it's not available. I would email Really Right Stuff.  I'm sure they still carry a newer version.


They sell the Y support https://www.reallyrightstuff.com/CB-YS-Long-Lens-Support. (https://www.reallyrightstuff.com/CB-YS-Long-Lens-Support.) So all you need are the other plates for your camera that this mounts to.

For telephoto you need tripod with video head for weight of your camera+lens+accessories+little more.
For most dslr/mirrorless good/cheap tripod for travel/hiking will be something like Manfrotto 190 + Manfrotto 502 videohead
