The Agfaphoto Realimove MC3X is a handheld gimbal camera that can shoot both video and stills. <\/span>(Image credit: Rod Lawton)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

DJI<\/a> virtually invented the thought of the gimbal digicam however different makers together with FeiyuTech, Benro (for some time) and now Agfaphoto have joined in with their very own designs. They’re all based mostly on a small digicam unit mounted completely on a compact 3-axis gimbal with the display, controls, battery and different electronics constructed into the deal with.<\/p>\n

Gimbal cameras present each stabilization for handheld video and the sort of smoothed-out digicam actions that you just see in motion pictures. It\u2019s the identical precept as gimbal stabilizers for normal cameras, however a fraction of the scale and weight. I\u2019ve used a DJI Pocket 2 for a very long time, and love the way in which you may create professional-looking digicam actions with out numerous heavy and costly gear.<\/p>\n

The most recent DJI Pocket 3 leads the sector within the gimbal digicam market, however it\u2019s fairly costly, coming in at across the similar worth as an entry-level mirrorless digicam, and the Agfaphoto Realimove MC3X undercuts it significantly. It does sacrifice a number of options in comparison with the costlier Pocket 3, however not everybody will want DJI\u2019s fancy options and would reasonably spend a great deal much less on a extra fundamental digicam.<\/p>\n

The primary compromise with the Realimove MC3X is the sensor dimension. The 1\/2.5-inch 8MP sensor is fairly small, and whereas its 4K<\/a> video appears superb if you\u2019re filming outdoor in good mild, I did discover it obtained noticeably softer in low mild at larger ISO settings.<\/p>\n

The MC3X additionally has a reasonably limiting 0.3m-infinity focus vary. That sounds prefer it needs to be high-quality, however it\u2019s geared up with a wide-angle lens, so typically I needed to transfer in actually near fill the body with an object, after which discovered it went out of focus.<\/p>\n
