I've been working on perfecting the handheld rig for my Sony A7IV and Sony A7s III over time. I spent some time with the previous rig build at a few weddings and felt there needed to be some changes. This video is a view of that handheld rig build and how it makes the Sony A7 IV as well as the Sony A7s III so versatile for wedding day handheld video.

Interesting rig and video. I was looking for the gimble setup when I clicked on the link. It was interesting to hear your discussion around that towards the end. I'm thinking I'll still get some type of gimble for my A7rIV eventually. I don't do weddings, looking to stabilize yet allow motion for some wildlife videos with larger lens. I really like your thought process here, any gimble suggestions for my use case?

I've always staying the DJI family of gimbals. Depends on how long of a lens/weight, but probably would suggest the RS3 or RS3 Pro depending on that weight factor. I currently have an Ronin S as well as an RS2 and both are fine for what we do, but we aren't really putting anything bigger than an 85mm on them.

Somehow it remains me about handlegrip pentax 67. Good old days

I've seen that camera, but never held it. I do like the hand grip :)
