[QUOTE="JyBorg, post: 768395, member: 35163"] I've got a D750, which looks like it's only compatible with the Zhiyun Crane 2 and 3, which I don't think are being sold any more. I [B]think [/B]this means that I can still put it on any number of gimbals, I just won't be able to control it through the handle. It'll just be a robotic flycam. Is this correct? If so, that wouldn't be the end of the world because a gimbal would still be easier to use than an actual flycam. [B]However[/B], this youtube claims that you can't use Nikon live view with any gimbal. Is this true? [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Sy-VMquRtM[/URL] If that's true, my options are shooting blind while wildly waving the gimbal at stuff or buying a monitor. Is this correct? I'm just trying to see if my understanding is correct because, if is is, it seems like my options boil down to cheap flycam + live view or Weebill S / Crane 2s + monitor. I planned on getting a monitor one day in the future anyways, for focus peaking, but that day is not now and that's an extra $700 I don't want to spend right now. Does anyone have advice? EDIT: okay, i've managed to find answers to most of my questions. Please delete this thread. [/QUOTE]
