Rolling shutter with Grip Gear?

assaft · Sep 8, 2018

Hi video guys

I have an Olympus E-M10 and a Panasonic GX80, and I was thinking of getting the Grip Gear Movie Maker 2 to use with these cameras for short videos at home.

However, I'm a bit afraid that the slow sensor read-out of these cameras, which results in noticeable rolling shutter effects, will become even more distracting when the camera is moving on the grip gear.

I have very little experience with video so I'm trying to figure out if this is a real concern to take into account.

Thanks.

Here's the best resource on the web for camera rolling-shutter measurements in milliseconds, and generally the m4/3 cameras are pretty good when it comes to rolling shutter. ( there are no olympus cameras on the list, but there are lots of Panasonic m4/3 cameras )

Personally I haven't come across anyone complaining about rolling-shutter issues with the newer Olympus m4/3 cameras.

Samuel H's Big Rolling Shutter Camera List

...To put things in perspective, take a look at the rolling-shutter measurements for well known cine cameras at the bottom of the list, there are lots of mirrorless cameras that have LESS rolling-shutter than some cine cameras.

Thanks for the info.

My concern is about the consequences of camera movement (on a slider) on rolling shutter. Even if rolling shutter is not too bad in stable conditions, I'm afraid that camera movement will make it look much worse.

Movement with a slider is minimal compared to a dolly or panning shot. Unless you are moving your slider really fast ( which seems unlikely ), you shouldn't have any issues provided your camera has good rolling-shutter performance.

Good rolling shutter with a hybrid camera is very similar to RS performance of a cine camera, so there is really nothing to worry about. ( you might have to shoot HD footage instead of 4K depending on your camera )
