Fujifilm X-H1 IBIS + Gimbal
Mostly, the current conception is: if you use a camera with IBIS on a gimbal, turn IBIS off to get the best results.
We discussed this more in detail in our article, where Panasonic explains us this, and gives more insights on what else is not so good with IBIS.
However, a FR-reader passed me an official Fujifilm slide, that has not been shared anywhere else so far.
According to the official Fujifilm slide, in order to get the best stabilized result, you have to use the Fujifilm X-H1 IBIS combined with a gimbal.
“Combination of IBIS and Stabilizer gives high quality movie. IBIS prevents higher frequency vibration. Stabilizer prevents lower frequency vibration.”
And as FR-reader Christopher noticed, check out the video at 2:20 in this fujifilm-x article. It shows a comparison of the X-H1 mounted on a gimbal with IBIS ON and IBIS OFF, with the IBIS ON version giving even better results. Today’s slide explains more detailed why the results are better.
I thought this info might be useful for those of you guys, who use the Fujifilm X-H1 for videos on a gimbal. According to Fujifilm, you better keep the IBIS turned on to get the best results. I already shared this news in our wonderful Fujifilm X-H User Group.
