  • Hi ewupawly,yr settings sounds ok.Since u have a 2s drop time the weight should be sufficient. Use the extended weight bar.U should do the left right swing first. If it swings madly, adjust the t bar towards the stage.if it goes to close to the gimbal add more weights and extend the t bar further away from the gimbal,then repeat the test. Once that is done do the same for the fore n aft. When both are completed test the drop time. Goodluck.

  • I dun see any issue with the blackbird as the NX5 is pretty light. Just to be on the safe side, double-check the payload and weight to confirm.

  • Depends n yr preference.I use slik and manfrotto.

  • 15min at least handheld with a Dslr. Hmm they now have a mod to work with a steadicam pilot rig thou.May work well

  • how much did u get it for?

  • Its about SGD1100 inc shipping and GST (anything above $300 will be taxed AT the exchange rate the customs use)

see all

  • Great footage & nice presentation!

  • I'm using the Canon 7d with Tokina 11-16 lens. I just got the Blackbird and I can't get this thing

    to balance to save my life. I tried 1 big weight on each side I tried 1 big weight and a half weight on each side.

    The thing sways like crazy. I got the drop time pretty close to 2 seconds one time but there is just

    too many variables. New instructional video helped none it didn't even mention the two sizes of T Bars

    and how to figure out how much weight to put on.

  • will any parts rust? Do we have to grease it frequently? Tks!

  • Hey Sean, will the Blackbird works with the new Sony NX5U? 

  • Thank you for this nice review! Like!!

    If i understand you right you would prefer a quickrelease over the camera mounting plate von CMR?

    Which kind of quick release? Manfrotto, Giotto ...

    Thank you!

  • most shots taken at woodlnds 800 plus.
