Steadicam & gimbal together with Sony FX6!

Here’s my first test with a ‘poor mans #arritrinity’ - #Steadicam Archer with DJI RS2 on top. Useful for locking that horizon on smaller shoots, and removing the footsteps from the gimbal, with the added bonus of seamless switching to low-mode and ability to push into windows! #steadicamoperator #djironin #djirs2 #sonyfx6 #cameragimbal #filmgear #videogear #fx6 #filmmaking

Rigging my Sony FX6 for anything!

How to rig my #FX6 so it's ready for the huge variety of #filming work I get - but keep it versatile & reliable yet compact & simple? Luckily with some top class solutions from Chrosziel, Anton/Bauer & Sachtler, I think I have my perfect setup!

Enjoying my #steadicamarcher balance today while practicing and testing the setup ready for a big #steadicam job this week! #steadicamoperator #steadicamlife #sonyfs7 #fs7 #atomosshogun7 #steadycam #steadicamops #uksteadicam #dynamicbalance
