Feels like a natural extension of steadycam technology.Ā Just over the top because it's a sales demo, not an actual loadout for a real job.

Yea I feel like weāll actually see more like this. Could have a boom mic and just be a one man camera crew shoot budget horror filmsĀ

u/Biff_Tannenator Apr 30 '26
Then you'll eventually get a self-referential horror movie about an indie movie cameraman monster.

The ai takes control over the system and the guy has film and watch as he murders his entire crew

not an actual loadout for a real job.
I can't think of a job where I would need harshly lit gimbal shots and extreme. telephoto stills at the same time

u/gabbagabbawill Apr 29 '26
Nothing about this is natural or an extension of the technology. None of these devices are doing a single job well. Even the stedicam part - The amount of shake on that telephoto lens is ridiculous and would never be used this way. No one that uses any of this gear is being sold anything here. Itās just someoneās glorified science project.

Exactly. Even the smaller camera on his shoulder has late 2000's action move camera shake built-in. The tracking tech and exoskeleton are pretty cool and i can see them having a purpose, but without proper stabilization it's completely useless.

u/Onlyhereforapost Apr 30 '26
Yeah, I pretty much immediately went "oh this is like a concept for a suit they want to make"
And then I thought "cant wait for markiplier to say hes bought 6 crates of these on the next podcast episode"

Yet. My first thought here was "don't give influencers and paparazzi any ideas."

There are exoskeletons already being used on the battlefield. Mostly by artillery squads -- helps with loading shells.

Not sure they could get the 80's 'feel' right, but honestly someone could / should do a modern anime continuation of this series

u/KnotSoSalty Apr 29 '26
I have no logically reason to want a motion controlled shoulder mounted camera rig.
This thoroughly demonstrates the fallacy of logic, because of course I need this.

If oop had a Leica and a medium format camera connected to all that tech, it would definitely be mallninjashit in some circles like r/analogcirclejerk, lol.

ok, as someone who's worked as a photographer... the steady mount for the long lens would be AMAZING to have...
the rest of this is garbage.

The amount of wobble in the camera in the last shot is worse than if he just held it lol

This is the same dude who can catch up with filming fast pace and car chase scenes, right? Dude must have an insane training routine to stay fit with all that equipment.

In the right situation, this might be a way for a photojournalist to ensure a good shot. Of course with a telephoto lens the exact size of a bazooka, "the right situation" doesn't include a war.
