Which Is the Best Mechanical Stabilizer Or Electronic Stabilizer
The mechanical stabilizer is represented by stannikon. We often see its shadow in the production gags of various film and television dramas or large-scale programs. The main body of mechanical stabilizer is people to control its balance, so the final film quality is directly proportional to the operator's technology and experience. Before the birth of electronic stabilizer, mechanical stabilizer has occupied this market for a long time.
Electronic stabilizer (each of the three axes is driven by a motor, and the control handle is next to it)
The electronic stabilizer uses battery power supply, and then uses various electronic algorithms to achieve mechanical balance. It is a relatively novel product. At present, the scheme of three-axis stabilizer is the most mature. It was born in the sky, which has a great impact on the traditional mechanical stabilizer. In the early days, the electronic stabilizer was mainly aimed at some individual models of civil level, but today, it can support about 10kg digital projectors, and the product line is also very rich.
Various mechanical stabilizers (the principle of achieving stability through the consistency of the upper and lower center of gravity)
The mechanical stabilizer has a certain technical content and needs long-term training to be better used. Moreover, the whole system is relatively heavy. In terms of flexibility, it is not as convenient as electronic, especially when shooting in a narrow space. However, its load-bearing is relatively large. In the current professional production field, it is still dominated by this type of products.
Lighter electronic stabilizer (the larger the load, the larger the stabilizer)
The electronic stabilizer is easier to operate. As long as you have the sense of lens movement, you can start it easily. Small, light, easy to use and easy to carry, it is more attractive than the mechanical stabilizer. However, after all, it is an electronic product. Considering the working stability, many professionals are still on the sidelines.
The mechanical stabilizer can be hand-held
The mechanical stabilizer is divided into two levels. The first is the hand-held mechanical stabilizer. Its principle is actually very easy to understand. It is mainly applicable to some small machines, such as; SLR, micro single, sports DV or mobile phone, with dimensions ranging from about 1m to about 15cm. With the continuous expansion of video functions of small digital devices, handheld mechanical stabilizers have really become popular among the people. Previously, they can only be achieved by using the effects photographed by large devices such as stannikon.
Mechanical stabilizers can also be used with stannikon rocker arms
There is also a relatively professional equipment, that is, what we usually call stannikon stability system. In fact, the principle of this kind of products is similar to the above, but its configuration is more professional and load-bearing. This kind of stable system is cumbersome and needs professional personnel to operate. It is mainly aimed at the professional film and television production field. It is the oldest and most mature stable follow-up scheme at present.
The trend of electronic stabilizers is becoming smaller and lighter
Electronic stabilizers are also divided into two levels. Small hand-held electronic stabilizers are mainly used for video shooting of small devices such as SLR, micro single, sports DV or mobile phone. The whole size is much smaller and more convenient to carry than hand-held mechanical stabilizers. The characteristics of small, light, easy to use and easy to carry are destined to have a good development prospect in the future. However, compared with the handheld mechanical stabilizer of the same level, the price is much higher.
Electronic stabilizer can adapt to more use environment and shooting angle
Today, with the development of electronic stabilizers, several mainstream manufacturers have also launched three-axis electronic stabilizers applied in professional fields. At present, this kind of stabilizers can withstand the shooting of professional film cameras. At the same time, it also integrates all the advantages of easy carrying and easy use of electronic stabilizers, and the surrounding professional auxiliary accessories are relatively complete. However, the models it supports are still limited (especially the models of radio and television system), coupled with the operating habits of a large number of stannikon practitioners, I'm afraid there is still a long way to go before such products can completely replace stannikon.
Mechanical and electronic are now in a scuffle situation. However, from the current situation, the advantages of electronic triaxial have become more and more obvious in the field of handheld level; In the professional field, mechanical stability systems such as stannikon still occupy the main power, but they are not at ease. A large number of three-axis stability systems are maturing step by step.
The electronic stabilizer can also work with two people, one is responsible for moving and the other is responsible for controlling the lens angle
After making clear the difference between the two, in fact, many people already have the answer in their mind. If the budget is sufficient, the author also suggests to buy an electronic three-axis one. After all, it is easy to operate. The shooting scene can pay more attention to the lens design without worrying about technical problems, so as to make the shooting works better. The above is the whole content of this article.
