Combining Wave-1 stabilizer with gyro stabilization systems

What the thread found

  • A single gyro mounted vertically on the post works successfully alongside the Wave-1 for stabilizing video on rough terrain
  • A single gyro mounted horizontally under the gimbal can be used for pan control in combination with the Wave-1
  • Two gyros mounted together (one horizontal for pan and one vertical on the post) work with the Wave-1 for telephoto lens applications on motorized vehicles

Depends on

  • The gyro orientation and mounting configuration appear to matter for different use cases
  • Heavy lens setups change the weight distribution on the gimbal
  • Limited information about which specific applications or shooting conditions favor each configuration
