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
