Ready Rig: amzn.to/317sUSH
A couple of weeks ago I came across this mind-blowing shot of a leopards hunting wildebeest in the Netflix show: Our Planet.
There was something special about this shot. The camera was moving along with the wildlife. I had never seen anything like it.
With a couple of commercial video projects scheduled in Rwanda and Botswana, this was my opportunity to go out and try it for myself. So I bought the Ready Rig and kitted out my Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 4.6k to go out and get my version of this shot.
Today I'd like want to share my thoughts on the piece of equipment that made this shot possible.

Thanks for watching everyone! Hope you enjoyed the video ;-)

I loved it. I'm trying to decide whether to sell my ReadyRig and replace it with a Steadicam Aero 30, but you've helped me get closer to deciding to keep my ReadyRig.

What an amazing opportunity to film. Well done review - thanks for all the BTS footage!

Hi Chris do you have a list of the gear you used on this shoot please. I have the ursa and very much liked your set up. Also the link to easy rig would not work for me. Can you tell me the manufacturer please.

😂 i feel with you. Love the scene when you lift the gimbal like a weight lifter.

Ready rig to the rescue 😅

Very cool video. Outstanding work, always your videos enjoyable. Loved hearing "Made in America". 😉👍👍🙏

Most enjoyable footage! I’m in the process of putting my Ready Rig and Ronan together. Did you have the battery and plate positioned on the ring? What lens did you use? It seems you had a focus pull remote. However, I’m curious to know more on what your cam settings were for instance, cheetahs or giraffe shots.

@chriseyrewalker 4 года назад

I’ve recently changed the setup a little. Shooting the G2 in 2.39 aspect at 120 fps with the Canon 100-400mm 4.5-5.6 IS Lens. Gimbal is balanced at around 300mm. I’ve mounted the vmount to the bottom of the camera to counter weight and bring the center of gravity down lower for balancing. It works! As for focus I use a pdmovie wireless follow focus on the right thumb and have the iPhone with the BM Bluetooth app rigged on the left side to control the camera. It’s a heavy setup and I‘m pretty wrecked after about 2-3h of game driving. But the shots I can get are worth it.

@ashley.caldwelldp 4 года назад

@@chriseyrewalker Hi Chris, would you happen to have any photos of this setup by any chance? I'm looking to rig a G2 with an original Ronin 1 with cinemilled extension arms and a small rig cage ring for the ronin.

@PatrickRich 5 лет назад

Thanks. This is great. We've got a steadycam body rig and the sweedish one (I can't remember the name of it...the one that has a single arm that goes over) and even with the Ronin our footage isn't quite as smooth with out pro's as it seems this one is. It also seems to require less fiddling with the balance to get it just right.

@chriseyrewalker 5 лет назад

Yeah. Sounds like the Easy Rig. I’ve hear before that it makes stabilisation worse. The ready Rig is definitely super easy to balance and adjust. Seconds of adjusting and you’re good to go

@PatrickRich 5 лет назад

@@chriseyrewalker yes, easy rig. also yes, stabilization is worse with it

@jonlieberman997 4 года назад

Great, informative video. I felt a bit of anxiety when. you were on the water with the Ready Rig. I wouldn't want to swim while wearing the Ready Rig.

@thomasploner9424 5 лет назад

Interesting thing to see, those shots are awesome

@chriseyrewalker 5 лет назад

Thanks Tom!

@jonerikrolf2029 5 лет назад

I enjoy your video - especially those using minimal Olympus gear. The stabilization rig you demonstrate in this video is over the top! You seem to also suggest that the vertical bouncing of the truck over bumps rendered much of the chase footage unusable. May I suggest a really minimalist gear solution for a four axis (3 axis + vertical axis) stabilization to use on safari trucks. I hand hold the OSMO Pocket plus the tiny Scotty McPherson 4th axis stabilizer. The combo costs about $425 and weighs about a pound and the fully stabilized 4K 60P footage is completely suitable for professional produced videos. Less is more in a safari truck.

@chriseyrewalker 5 лет назад

Thanks for your input. Unfortunately you can't compare the image quality of the Osmo Pocket to that of the Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 4.6k. Apples and Oranges. These are nowhere near comparable... in any way. Not even the Olympus system can compete with the image of the Blackmagic. Which is why I own both systems. Each has its purpose. And, to achieve this three dimensional look and feel you need a long focal length lens. 50mm and up. And the Osmo can't do that and it will never look as good as this gear combo. I didn't just go out and take $15k worth of gear with me if I hadn't researched, tested and thought this through. Trust me, this is the most affordable solution to getting close to the shot I was inspired by.

@jonerikrolf2029 5 лет назад

Chris Eyre-Walker Thanks Chris for your “apple and oranges” reply to my post. I agree with your statements about the qualities and benefits of your 4.5K video camera and other high end ones. My “less can be more” comment was only intended to suggest that selection of video equipment depends on its suitability fo the task - in this case capturing usable 4K footage of a running lion while you are in a bouncing safari truck (or running on foot with cheetahs - see the Nature documentary The Cheetah Children by Kim Wolhuter). Perhaps you know Kim Wolhuter www.kimwolhuter.com. A significant portion of his cheetahs videography was captured on foot using an iPhone on an OSMO 1 gimbal. When I met him in South Africa, he explained how essential it was to not try to adapt his very high end video and still cameras to tasks that inappropriate for their capabilities. Kim is often in the field, but I think you guys would enjoy comparing notes.
