IMORDEN S-60A Aluminium Review | Demo

If you are in the market for a Camera Stabilizer, This could be the unit for you.

Overall, Who is this for?
If you are looking for a high quality/ well built Camera Stabilizer, This is for you.
If you are looking for a cheap Camera Stabilizer, This is for you.
If you are looking for an entry level Camera Stabilizer, This is for you.
If you have never owned a Camera Stabilizer, This is for you.

The Good:
- Made with Aluminum = Heavier than the IMORDEN S60C(carbon fiber). You want heavier. Won't blow around in wind as much.
- Build quality is amazing.
- Telescopic pole means you can use light or heavy camera's. (approx 2~6lbs)
- Quick Release plate makes it super easy to go from IMORDEN S60A to A tripod and back. The quick release plate is compatible with 501 Manfrotto too!!

Needs Improving:
- Moving the top plate, while balancing, can take time. Be patient. You will get it. Fine tune screw knobs for micro adjustments would be helpful.
- Gimbal is a bit stiff, but I can still get great smooth shots. Test footage in youtube video, link at end of review.

Definitely takes some time to get used to. For the price, this is hard to beat. When balancing, do it over a pillow in case the camera comes sliding off the top plate.

Contents:
Assembled Steadicam, 6 Weights(2 large, 4 small), messenger bag, quick release plate and a cleaning cloth.

IMORDEN 6.5ft Carbon Fiber Camera Jib: Setup Guide and Review

This jib is great for travel purposes and for use with smaller cameras. It is lightweight due the carbon fiber construction, and packs neatly into the small case. The case fit comfortably into my larger suitcase and I was able to bring this along on a recent trip and get some great dynamic footage.

The jib is best suited to smaller cameras like the Sony a7 series, or the Panasonic GH4. Even smaller DSLR's should be fine on this system. Larger DSLR's like the Canon 5D Mark III with larger lenses begin the push the weight limits.

Motion of the jib is solid and smooth. Keep in mind that you will need a sturdy set of tripod legs, and a video fluid head. The video fluid head will allow you to pan the jib, as it does not come with a pan bearing built in.

While the jib will extend to a full 6.5 feet, I find it performs better when it is not fully extended. Just reducing the length by as little as 6 inches makes the entire jib much more stable and controllable.

Overall I think this is a great little lightweight kit. It comes with a quick release, a tripod bowl adapter, and 3 1kg weights. Being able to just grab this bag and toss it into my suitcase means I know I can break it out and get some great crane shots while on the road!
