Is my rig and shot plan ready for a controlled test?
Declare your rig mass, payload limit, move type, and shutter settings to see a preparation checklist for a rehearsal, not a balance or stability guarantee.

Calculate a result to see input gaps and move/focal/shutter interactions.

Preparation variables, not a smoothness score
A gimbal or handheld shot depends on the real rig, focal length, move, operator, shutter, frame rate, and environment. A payload number is not a smoothness prediction. This planner keeps the preparation variables visible and turns them into a controlled rehearsal rather than a generic gear recommendation.
A 2kg rig with a stated 4kg payload limit has a .5 declared load ratio. That does not prove balance or performance. A 24mm walking shot and a 200mm follow shot impose different sensitivity to movement. Verify the actual manufacturer guidance, balance the rig, rehearse the move, and inspect a real test take before committing.
This is a planning calculation, not a certification. Confirm the relevant camera, lens, card, printer, contract, location, or workflow constraint in the real setup before relying on the result.
Make one controlled test with the important variable held constant. Inspect the subject detail, motion, highlights, and intended output, then adjust the setting that protects the priority you named.
FAQ
- Can this tell me whether I need a gimbal?
- No. It helps plan a support test from the move and rig constraints. It does not rate stabilization or recommend equipment.
- Is this a guarantee?
- No. The result is bounded by the inputs and assumptions shown on the page. It is designed to support a better next decision, not replace a test, measurement, proof, or professional judgement where one is needed.
