Kickstarter for electronic camera stabilizer (EasyGimbal)

[Michael Althaus]

Hi Everybody
I just launched a kickstarter project for a electronic GoPro stabilizer. We hope to raise enough funds to make it a reality and start producing it. If you are interested, check it out here:

Ouch. Michael, only for GoPro? :-(

Suggestion: Have categories between $2 and $599 in your Kickstarter.

 

[Michael Althaus]

yes, only for the GoPro. What lot's of people don't know, if you make a gimbal that works with different cameras, the set-up gets pretty complicated. Aside from balancing, there's a lot of tinkering with the settings required (gains etc.). It's not something the average user can do on his own.

that's actually looks awesome and simple. reduser alone may not do much though

i think u should have no problem funding your kickstarter if enough go-pro consumers know about this.
the key is to reach to those audiences.... and they are usually social & outgoing shooters who film a lot and are eager to make their footage looking better.

I shared this on Twitter. Good luck with your campaign!

Thanks for the comments and tweet. We are pretty close to reaching our goal.




If you want to see some more footage of the EasyGimbal, check out this BuzzFeed video (already has more than 310K views ):

The majority of the moving shots were done with the EasyGimbal and the GoPro running at 120 fps 720p.

Nice work guys!

One question, what is the weight of the setup with the GoPro Hero 3 and the gimbal battery?

Thanks

Pat

The prototype is only 550 grams but the final version will get a little bit heavier because we will use a denser "plastic" for the final version.

This is just fantastic, I REALLY want one. I love my Hero 3 and this would just give me some great options. Cant back you now, but I will spread the word. And I will buy one when they go to consumers. Seriously great!


Please though, can you have options to fund between 2$ and $599? I might have tossed $50 bucks your way if you had an option like that, you know $50 bucks and you get a hat with your logo, or a sticker or whatever. Add some more options I'll chip in.
