The Pilotfly T1 is a new two hand gimbal designed for bigger cameras that scales up Pilotflys technology for bigger cameras. If you want a single hand system for smaller cameras Pilotfly has the H2. Both are excellent for cinematographers on the go and they are designed to be toolless.

Lok filmed some of the more interesting stuff at CES this year including this teardown of a Sony a7RII. I am very surprised by how much Sony allows the sensor to move around inside the body for internal 5-axis stabilization. It makes me question how their system affects image quality when in motion.
B&H Photo and Adorama have some great savings still deals/bundles for Sony fans that end today. These offers are limited so take advantage while they last.

“If you view the charts at 100%, you’ll see that they’re consistent with the MTF charts Roger generated for all three lenses. The Sony just isn’t that great, and that’s really disappointing considering the price tag and how long customers have had to wait for that lens to be available. But if you need f/2.8 and working autofocus, it’s really the best option out there for Sony mirrorless cameras.”
It’s a shame that Sony missed the mark on such an important and expensive lens and maybe there is something software wise that corrects the error, but it failed to impress even when they shot the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS with comparable 70-200’s on a Sony a7RII. If you’re as shocked as I was then go check out the full Lensrentals article here for more details.
