X5S with Pansonic 14 to 40mm lens shaking

Plafonta · Sep 23, 2017

Hi have the above on an I2 and of course have the balancing ring on the lens but the seems to be a little shake in the video. Does anyone have any ideas. I should have posted video but i delete it cause its not great

That's probably not shake, it's more likely rolling shutter/jello. Try have the shutter speed at double your frame rate and see how that goes.

While sitting on the ground with the lens extended to where you set it too (and zoom it too), how much shake do you feel off the gimbal mount while recording some video? Could be some imbalance still present needing to be worked out.

I don't get why mine is buzzy on the lower camera mount verses the upper. Maybe the rubber snubbers are incorrect or need to be changed, or my gimbal is just not smooth due to some DJI firmware issues.

I had one and hated it. I have never had a zoom lens that had (fisheye) distortion when zoomed out. (42mm) You might expect it at the 14mm focal length, but not at 42. Incidentally, it is a 14-42mm not 14-40. Didn't zoom smoothly either, but that's a DJI issue, as it did zoom smoothly when mounted on a GH4. Hmmmmm..........
