High Performance, Small Size, Easy to Setup, An Ultimate Gimbal Selection for Aerial Filming with GoPro.
The well-reputed DJI Zenmuse H3-2D has been a game changer with its high performance and precision in movement compensation that provides awesome video taken and change the entire aerial filming industry. This time, an even higher grade gimbal is developed and brought to you by DJI Innovations, the Zenmuse H3-3D, a 3-axis GoPro gimbal driven by high performance brushless motors and well tuned built-in control system, will again change the aerial filming world.
The great leap in recent years was the appearance of brushless motors being used not only to drive RC models, but applied to drive the gimbals. Unlike the servo that is driven through a complex gear box that is somehow slower and trembled in response, the direct drive brushless motor provides the gimbal a faster and powerful response to rapidly react to the pan/tilt/roll movements from the camera.
Needless to say the gyroscope also plays an important role for the accuracy of the gimbal. It contains sensors that detects the roll and tilt movement of the camera mounted, and calculated how much movement the brushless motors need to react for levelling it back to keep the camera steady.
What's New About the H3-3D?
Besides the tilt/roll axis stabilisation you used to see in other products, the third axis, pan, is also stabilised. It's not rocket science, but definitely not as easy as it looks that just putting one more motor on. The key for making a gyroscopic gimbal is to write and tune the built-in control system. It might be hard to image how difficult it would be for adding one more axis stabilisation, but if you know what's behind the scene, you'll understand every penny you pay more for the third axis is worthy.
With the Pan-axis stabilisation added, any vibration or shakiness form the rudder due to sudden wind or error in tuning the flight controller will no longer affect the image quality, especially for smaller multicopter platform that is easily interfered under windy condition. Thus in the video taken you would sense much improvement on video quality, not only in vertical or horizontal direction, the used to be “shaking your head” feeling no longer exists after stabilising the pan-axis.
DJI gathers all those market experience and R&D capabilities to finally come out with something really amazing and rock the market. With the combination of brushless motors and accurate gyro techniques, the H3-3D will be definitely your best companion and satisfy your multiple needs.
