Allied Drones "echo" quick release system for cinestar

Anyone have experience of this system? Would be nice to hear how does it come along with CS gimbal with radians? It's great looking piece and love the idea of standard size rails. But one thing worrying me most is, are the dampening points too close each other allowing gimbal to bouncing sideways in wind? Especially with heavier cameras.

Cheers,

Kari

I've been using my echo now 3 weeks and all i can say is i love it. Quality of design and parts are top notch.

@Kari Are you using the Echo on your Vulcan X8?

 

[Kari]

Yes Steve. Just need to order some stiffer balls for Scarlet weight next. I used combination of soft and mid for gh3 which was very good.

Yes i had Cinestar 6 and i had some problems with bouncing roll with radians. Works nice now in my X8 setup.

Hi Kari

Just seen your very smooth Vimeo upload https://vimeo.com/61543381 very impressed.

I hope I'm not too far behind you doing the same!! I'm just converting my Vulcan Y6 to X8 and waiting for my 3 axis CS gimbal to arrive this week. So the last piece of the puzzle, the connection of the two and the vibration isolation which I am very interested in.

Is the Echo the only vibration isolation you are using now? Be great to see a photo.

Kariii...

check this... Do you have this movement with echo??

 

[Kari]

Echo is much more adjustable with different strenght ball isolators and also with tightening the screws which are locking the isolators. So you can get rid of that kind of bouncing with Echo, but will easily get some visible rolling shutter if tightening too much. But for me it's definitely better than cinestar stock isolator.
