Video comparison: GoPro HD camera with Lensse MidPro (Running) (with & without)

Lensse camera support systems: I was searching for an affordable video camera stabilizer and found a few different models like the Hague, IndieHardware and Lensse. All three manufacturers had simular features but the Lensse caught my eye for a few reasons. I was a little worried about support and if this thing really worked or not. The difference between the other models I found was that the Lensse MidPro has an adjustable gimble and additional rear weights. It even came with a iPhone mount so you could mount your iPhone or cell phone and take steady video.
I ended up going with the Lensse MidPro model because of the additional features and the price was still lower then the competitors and it was shipped to me withing 5 days. Packaging was done OK and manual was included (manual very little information) and all the parts were there. Here is some video comparisons I did with the Lensse MidPro. Great product 5 stars!

Advantages: With the Lensse MidPro model I was able to adjust the gimbal length to suit smaller cameras like the GoPro that have a wide lens. With wide lenses you might end up with the stabilizer in the shot if you had to mount the camera near the back of the stabilizer. The Lensse MidPro has an adjustable gimbal to balance out easier and most of the time with no bottom weights required. This is where the rear weights come in handy, moving the camera to the front of the stabilizer I was able to balance out by adding rear weights and with no bottom weights required. Balancing the Lensee could be done several ways depending on where your starting point is. I will get to that later.

Here is the Lensse Midpro and GoPro 3D running demonstration but recorded at 60fps and playback at 30fps for that slow motion feel.

This is a temp video part 1 of 4 that I will be posting showing the Lensse MidPro and how I setup various cameras that I used like the GoPro, Mini Dv/HD, iPhone, SLR and a few others. The presetup of the Lensse itself is the most important part. I found this first hand for the flat part top of my gimbal was not level when I first tried it and balancing was not possible.
