Waterproof Eo Camera Gimbal 4K Pod

The gimbal is very lightweight. The footage is very stable even at 4K. It's a very good system for lightweight camera setups like Sony A7c , Sony A6600. The light on the front is very bright. Compact and perfect for travel. m

I had to write a review for this thing as is definitely one of the better units I have purchased. No1 thing to do when receiving this unit is do the firmware updates FIRST! This is crucial. It took me some time to figure it out and get everything paired up properly. Beware the cables supplied. There are a few that look identical but for some reason don't quite work the same or I had a bad one as at first I couldn't get any transmission between the gimbal and the wireless motion controller. Once I got it all up and running, the unit functions amazingly. The motion remote is brilliant and the gimbal responds flawlessly to your movements. I can't wait to try it at an airshow next year. Now something I did discover is that although it says the unit is mainly for DSLRs and larger cameras, i got it working with my Sony PXW-Z90V 4k video camera using the Sony cable. I just wish they made the cables a tad longer, but it worked by mounting the transmitter on top of the camera so it was closer to the Sony's Multi port on the side. Voila. It works. I can't attest to other cameras but I imagine any Sony with a multi control port should work. Caution: it must be a camera that has continuous HDMI as some of the Sony 4k handycams disable the HDMI out when recording in 4k. The PXW-Z90V thankfully has option to output to external monitor in the camera settings. Pros: Very well made gimbal. Strong and sturdy. Lovely motion control remote. Nice carry case. Cons: Gimbal takes some time to setup and firmware updates take a while. Limited phone compatibility. My Note 20 Ultra did not work with the app. Only 5hrs battery life on the motion control remote, less if you are powering other things with the USB out. Cables supplied could be a bit longer. Other than the few cons I am VERY happy with the unit. For quick setup I labeled the necessary cables. I honestly don't know why there are bad reviews. A bit of time and patience and it's a lovely unit.

I have a pocket 4k that uses Cfast cards. I wanted to be able to use the camera stripped down for gimbal work as much as possible but still use braw and this card is perfect. The bigger deal was the sale offered by B&H: $99 for the card and a card reader! I tried to buy a second card but it was much more by itself. Well I just bought 2 of the specials. Now I have 2 readers! Card is solid and fast and big enough for short gimbal shoots & with 2 cards I can swap out easily.

I picked this up because I needed to start getting 4K footage to match into an existing workflow. I have been using Nikon D5000 series cameras for most of my career, and could not see tossing all that gear and going with a new setup. All my lenses, all my accessories, flash, gimbal, remotes, all work with this model as well. The D7500 is a bit different than the D5000 series, most of the functions are now buttons on the outside of the camera. Auto Focus switching, ISO settings, White Balance, bracketing, plus more, all have buttons, or can have buttons assigned to them so you don’t have to scroll through endless menus. The D7500 feels tougher than the D5000 series, it is a little heavier, but not ridiculous. The LCD flips up and down, and not out, which helps keep the balance on a gimbal. All of the connection ports are on the left side, again, making this more gimbal friendly, I use the Ronin-SC and it works great. I even solved the “cable issue” between the Ronin and Nikon camera, take a look on YouTube and you should find it. The only negative I have is that the D5000 series and the D7500 use different batteries. So I will have to start a new collection for this camera. Images and video have been perfect. There are some new autofocus options, and the face detection seems to lock on better. If you have an existing Nikon setup, and need to get from 1080 to 4K take a hard look at this model. I got the refurbished unit and it works fine. I can’t tell what even may have been refurbished about it, and not really sure why anyone who has this model would even want to send it back.

This is a fantastic addition to my EO Tech very happy with the purchase and product

When used with a gimbal head and your super-tele lens, this is the perfect pod for those who prefer ground level shore bird photography. The pod is easy to reposition and level. I have even used it on a patio table for backyard bird photography.

I have used the Gimbal Head with a Ground Pod and found the features make photographing shore birds easy while lying prone on the beach. With the camera/lens balanced on the Gimbal head, you're free to focus your attention on your subjects and photo technics. I have not used the head on a tripod yet but will no doubt find that application easy to use also.

I wanted a gimbal head to go with a ground-pod for improved waterfowl photography. The Big Boy was too expensive, and I went for this one for a good sale price from B&H. It seems to be very substantial for the money and will serve me well. It might not be for someone with the 600/4, but for lighter equipment, it looks like it will excel. B&H got it here quickly and in good shape.

Fits my gopro camera and waterproof housing.

The EO Tech Magnifier arrived quickly, it was in good order and works great on my SIG AR15.
