 Hi guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal here. So a few days ago I picked up the wonderful Femi Pam 2. So for those who don't know this is basically a Gimbal, they're called pocket Gimbal. So this is looks very very much like the DJI pocket Osmo or the Osmo pocket 2 It does have a longer battery life as far as I'm aware. It's cheaper I've been using it for a few days now and My initial impressions are that the daytime shooting is a lot better than I expected I'm actually really happy with the image quality and the stabilization. The nighttime shooting quality is actually worse than I expected Now I did read that the low light performance of this particular camera was not that great But I'm actually kind of surprised by how big the difficulty is. The the settings are not that Not that intuitive, but they're fine at the app doesn't work A lot of people are complaining about this on the Google Play Store You try to connect with the app with the official Femi app. Femi is like Jomi's parent company as far as I know And it just does not connect. So these are really basic things that Femi should have sorted out So if I were operating with a bit of a larger budget, I would have gone for the DJI Osmo pocket But for kind of an entry-level tool into this world of pocket gimbals And that's what I bought this for not having to look around DJI Ronin SC in camcorder. This thing is going to be invaluable and I think it was a great investment. So What I want to do in today's video is show Rigging options in other words getting some accessories onto this nice speaking of accessories This does support an external microphone. It has a 3.5 mil jack at the back and the internal microphone performance isn't that amazing you can watch the last few videos on this YouTube channel in the the shopping center D city and Eric's brave sheet both of these were actually shot with this and just the internal microphone but I I am about to go to the north of Israel for a few days and I thought this would be a chance to just that prepare a few accessories so In terms of rigging, I've just picked out here my two most my two kind of smallest accessories This is a very very basic small shotgun microphone And this is a very very small light from Yulanzi. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to just record this in one cut I've just got in front of me here Some of my gripping tools I tried to keep my camera stuff organized and it's just gonna be showing a few ideas now one thing I don't have and therefore I can't show there is for Ali express for on Ali express for about five bucks There's a little kind of case for the palm to and that gives you that'll just kind of latch on and we'll actually give you a GoPro at the back because if you're doing some monopod work or some selfie stick work with this camera Then you probably don't always want to just be going in at this angle to the to the device that kind of straight-up angle You want to be getting some horizontal now for instance? I was recording yesterday on Friday. Yeah, just yesterday I was basically in a desert in Israel and I was thinking if we had more time Doing some stabilized shots going up a sand dune would have been incredible now if I wanted to do that I ideally want to connect to the femi at this angle here not at this angle so that I could just bring it along the ground So I'm just going to show you a couple of ideas based on the gear I have starting with the the easiest now I promise firstly this isn't a secretly sponsored by Yulanzi video. I just have a ton of their stuff So let's start with the easiest thing. So this is just one of these hand grips Just make it a bit easier to grip a camcorder and this would be the most basic thing I can think of it's got a quarter inch so it'll go into the femi palm to and The benefits of just using this wouldn't be that big to be honest But it makes it a little bit more comfortable to hold this You don't get in the way of the controls and you've got another six inches So whether you're doing vlogging like this while other way around let's say or doing shots like this That might make it a bit more comfortable about the benefits as I said are not so great Now let me show you the most important thing I think for this which is going to be Monopod work or selfie stick work trying to get the femi palm to up in the air higher than you can reach with your hand. So First piece of kit I'm going to show and recommend is the Yulanzi MT 34 now I talked about this guy before I was looking for a device that would have a Tripod base or you know something like a tripod and that would be a selfie stick And this is the only thing I could find on Ali express That had both that met both of these criteria and I found this to be the most incredibly Useful thing in my camera gearbox. I've literally bought four of them The webcam I'm recording this on is on one of these the light just off to the side is also on one of these So like my day-to-day setup. I use it. I use this setup when I'm doing zoo meetings I use it for my these video blogs. I think it's a really really great piece of kit now This can also be useful for working with the femi. So firstly, it's got a quarter inch head and That was also one of the things I was looking for. So and it's also got one of these You know kind of nice little you can see it's a little thumb screw mechanism. So I'm just going to go ahead and Screw in the femi Make sure it's nice and secure All right, so my femi is now on my Ulanzi MT 34 now firstly if I just telescope this guy out It's about a meter long selfie stick. So you can see this is if I wanted to get up in the air This is kind of something like I do I'd have my go through a crowded people or something I'd have my femi like this and the beauty of course is that it's going to be this is a gimbal after all So it's going to be stabilized. So that's option number one But the real advantage of this over just a regular selfie stick now Some selfie sticks do have this feature not all of them do is that it has a ball bearing here And it's got a little lock for the ball bearing So as I was saying there are instances in which a 90 degree offset would be so much more useful so but watch this you can just loosen up here and Move this around to 90 degrees. That's as far as the ball bearing will go now I have my femi 90 degrees off from my monopod. I'm just going to actually turn it on So you can see what it would really be like one two three Sorry, I've got it. I've got it the wrong way on this. So let me just quickly reverse and secure And there we go. So now I have my femi like this like you can see the camera is facing this camera here So this would be great again if I was doing some kind of a shot like this going up a sand dune or just going Horizontally, this would be terrific. Of course what I can also do with this particular tool the Yilanzey MT-34 is I could use those Tripod legs if I wanted to do a vlog or something much as I'm using my webcam here I could just prop this guy up onto my screen and now I have a vlogging setup Or I could record like this way and I have kind of a setup here that I can actually I'm literally just holding the Base of the tripod and just sort of attempting to do a tripod movement So this the Yilanzey MT-34 actually opens up a lot of doors I believe for the femi PAM 2 and I going to be taking this on my trip in the north of Israel If you don't have the Yilanzey MT-34 What you can do? Let's say you just have a selfie stick like this Now I'm just going to take off the heads. This is basically a regular old selfie stick for about eight bucks It has a quarter inch heads It's also got a GoPro head But it's got a quarter inch on the GoPro and you know nothing spectacular like this It kind of has a locking mechanism you turn you turn clockwise and you've got a selfie stick now You could just put this directly on to the femi PAM 2 I'm not going to use this because the Yilanzey MT-34 is a nicer piece of gear But let's say you have this you've only got your Vertical and you want to get it you want to get that 90 degrees So all you need to do is get some piece of hardware that's going to make that turn for you So here's a really simple option. It's a ball bearing on top of a quarter inch This one got a little bit damaged and shipped just ignore that You can set this guy down set the ball at 90 degrees and then lock the ball and Then put the ball onto the top of your monopod or a selfie stick and lock it in securely So I'm just going to do this again That's about as secure as it's going to get and now I've got my 90 degree turn maze And now I can just put my femi on this. So that's one option is to use something like this another option is to Use something like this a tiny bit more elaborate This is I think either by small rig or UU rig, which I think is a Yilanzey company This guy basically does the same thing It's got a quarter inch here at the base and it's got a ball bearing here and it's got a little locking mechanism here So you could again put this Onto your monopod screw this in and now you've got your 90 degree turn But this guy you can go you can also do of course 45 degrees or 20 degrees Which gives you even more flexibility So that's basically the monopod just if I cover it as far as I can sort of think I can't think of anything I wouldn't want to do of course you can daisy change so you could if you're really really trust your gear and What it would say is in my experience as a very very rookie so far has been the longer you extend if you put a gimbal on top of a Monopod or a selfie stick or anything like that the longer you go the shaker it's going to be so You know you could try to daisy change these but you might end up losing the stability from the feme and If it falls off the higher the higher up the fall the worse the potential consequences needless to say Okay, so final thing I want to talk about is I Want to talk about I want to show its options to get those accessories on so a couple more you lancy pieces This is a two. I don't know the product name for these. You'll find these very easily on Ali express probably on eBay I think they're also selling on Amazon now as well. So this guy has a quarter inch here and it's got a Cold shoe fitting here. So let's do an example. So what I can do I'm gonna actually put the I'm gonna use the Microphone so I'm just gonna slot the microphone if you can see I'm gonna slot the microphone into this cold shoe slot Unlock it down. So I've done that now. So now the microphone is on this now. I can put the feme on This side of it I'm just gonna lock it. Now the feme is secure. I'm holding it horizontal. It's pretty much. Okay, so now I've got my Microphone next to my feme an external microphone and what I can do here is I just have to literally connect Into the back of the feme like so and it's secure and there we go So now I'm using a external microphone. I'm just trying to tidy up the wire of it I could also have used this much bigger microphone the Saramonic cam mic plus a really good microphone I've just started to play around with is the comic a track shot. That's actually got two microphones So at two little Two little turnable shock and microphones you can have one facing back towards you and one facing out Let's say you're just happy to use this one So again, I've put this the wrong way around. So let me just have fixed that quickly Okay, so now we're the right way around the screen is facing me So kind of a monitor and the microphone is facing out. So that's saying I record I'm interviewing somebody so I'm recording them this way. So this is a directional microphone Pointing towards the talent and this camera here. So what he could do is just to finish off this rig Rig is that to come in here at the quarter-inch with this thing I showed on the initial video and Lock there. I'm just gonna get this locked and we're good So now I have my rig. It's the feme is the feme is here to state the obvious Shock and microphones here and this actually is not this is not bad at all. So I'm gonna actually turn it on What why simulate when you can do do for real? So now it's turned on and there we go So we're good shooting like this and I can come around in well so for selfie mode, it's gonna be a little bit trickier because the The way you're supposed to use selfie mode on the feme is there's actually a selfie mode that will rotate the camera So what you could do there is just take off the microphone And I'm just taking it off its mount and I'm just securing it again into the coach you and now we have a Now this is in selfie mode. The microphone is now pointing towards me I can click the selfie mode button on the feme and you can see the camera coming around and I can just hold it like this I do my video blog, but I'm getting better audio because I'm using this external microphone So that is a another rig finally. I want to show a rig rig that is going to be using both lighting and Microphone so I use rig with hesitation because you know proper rigs I've seen are like really really quite elaborate and here. That's really goes well together nicely. This is more Along the kind of DIY lines, but it should work Final piece of gearing I just use here is this is another lansy piece. It's a kind of three bar You could also there are also much wider ones. You can use so what I'm going to do is this one is let's say I wanted to have the Femi So what I've got here is a cold shoe to quarter in so basically you just lock this in So these are three cold shoe heads on this guy So I'm going to just put this little adapter back in if I can If I can is it going to work for me? Is it going to work for me? It's going to work for me There we go, and I just need to lock this guy in done So now we can put the Femi on to this Now this is just very rough, but I'm just kind of trying to demo possibilities here So that's not going in nicely. Let me just try again Now this is going a bit better All right, so just ignore the fact that it's kind of not really out of beautiful I could play around with the bolts here a little bit what you could do here remember. There's two more Guys on this so I could do the microphone on the center one I'm going to put the microphone here now. This isn't a very wide piece of gear So you couldn't really have a very beefy microphone, but let's just use the microphone I'm using in all these demos and Because we have three I can put on the light as well so I'm just going to use this really really small Ulanzi light and I'm just going to have to unjam this these these little kind of cold shoe Fixtures tend to get stuck. There we go I'm just going to actually put it on here out of camera or off camera I should say the nice thing about this guy is you can just kind of like rotate these pretty easily So there we go. So this is my light Femi light and microphone and again just for the purpose of simplicity Let's say I'm going to use this guy Now as you can see the Femi is not very well attached to to say that to say the least so the ideal kit you'd want for this would be one quarter inch and Two quote two cold shoes, and I think you probably would find those fairly easily But this is just a demo rig again. I've got my light here I've got my microphone here, and I've got my Femi here So that is a very very non exhaustive look at the options that are out there for getting your Femi attached Of course, you could use these in conjunction. So let's say I wanted to take that to set up I could put it on top of the Hole and get up in the air while getting while throwing down some light from above Onto talent below and throwing down some a sign capture from up in the air so there's a lot of possibilities and You just have to I guess be be tiny bit creative. Thank you guys for watching and more videos coming soon
