FilmPower, the makers of the now classic Nebula 4000 Lite pistol grip gimbal stabiliser are demoing their latest Nebula 5100 3-axis gimbal at NAB 2017. We wrote about the new FilmPower Nebula 5100 gimbal a few weeks back here, but just as a reminder for those, who’ve not caught up yet – it features an all-metal gimbal with a remarkable payload of 2.5kg, which means that you can balance even a Sony FS5 or a Canon C100 on it.
FilmPower have upgraded with built-in encoder on the Nebula 5100 to make balancing a breeze. Users can now enjoy about 8-10 hours battery life, and have the battery directly charged without removing. Beside the basic features, more interesting functions are added to this product such as: one key midpoint returning, time-lapse, roll follow mode, giving you more possibilities to achieve creative.
