An “unfair” comparison: Sony A7II 5 axis stabilization versus A7II with DJI Ronin and Glidecam HD2000!

A7II Stabilization Test with DJI Ronin, Glidecam HD2000 & Handheld

How good is the Sony A7II 5 axis stabilization versus the more “serious” DJ Ronin ($2,699 here on BH) and Glidecam HD2000 ($479 here on BH) Stabilizer Systems? Well watch the video on top to see it.Keep in mind that the test was done before the new firmware released on January 8th. The new firmware improves the performance quite a bit!

“I stood in Venice, on the Bridge of Sighs;

A palace and a prison on each hand:

I saw from out the wave her structures rise

As from the stroke of the enchanter’s wand:

A thousand years their cloudy wings expand

Around me, and a dying Glory smiles

O’er the far times, when many a subject land

Look’d to the winged Lion’s marble piles,

Where Venice sate in state, throned on her hundred isles!”

~Lord Byron

That’s how I like Venice the best: Middle of the night, cold weather, heavy rain, high tide, black water … and no people. That’s when the ghosts of the unlikeliest of all cities come back and whisper about the dark ages.

I noticed the lovely photo of Richard Timewell’s, HK Harbour Lights photo had a Junk sailing in the foreground. I think I got the same Junk sailing into port with the sails down last Saturday. This was taken with the A7mk2 and the 28-70mm kit lens that comes with it. I have been happily surprised with the performance of this lens.

Fashio expert (Bulgari, Prada, Gucci) expert Perry Oosting becomes Hasselblad CEO.

Share

I guess Hasselblad really wants to focus on the “fashion” aspect of their camera business. At least that could be the reason why they choose Perry Oosting as new CEO. Hasselblad just recently announced the Stellar II which is their fourth Sony based luxury edition cameras after the Hasselblad Lunar (here on eBay), Stellar (here one Bay) and the Hasselblad HV (here at BHphoto). Now let’s see if and how they will continue to expand that kind of business with the new CEO.

Here comes the full press release from Hasselblad:

Hasselblad Group has announced the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer with immediate effect.

Perry Oosting – an established member of the Hasselblad Supervisory Board – takes the helm following the completion of former CEO Ian Rawcliffe’s interim CEO assignment.

Mr Oosting brings over 25 years of experience in brand, product, marketing and sales-management to the company and has worked for iconic global brands such as Bulgari, Prada and Gucci.

As a former CEO of luxury mobile phone manufacturer VERTU he achieved substantial revenue growth and profit – and prepared the company for a solid brand & product proposition as he initiated change to a new operating system to widen appeal to a broader customer audience.

He said: “It is an honour for me to accept this new role at Hasselblad and become an integral part of this iconic brand. This company has an incredible history and with its core DNA has a sound foundation for further development. The recent and widely acclaimed launch of our ‘back to the future’ CFV-50c CMOS back is a great example of our ongoing commitment to the total Hasselblad brand experience that enables customers to benefit from our advanced and exclusive digital engineering know-how.”

He added: “My former experiences will certainly be an advantage, but I see Hasselblad as a unique opportunity and therefore it will need a tailor-made strategic direction and implementation to support future growth.”

Dr. Helmut Vorndran, Chairman of the Supervisory Board Hasselblad added: “We are delighted Perry has accepted this new role to further develop and strengthen our brand and product proposition. Now with the combination of a solid foundation, and Perry’s priceless expertise, we feel confident we can achieve our ambitious goals. We also thank his predecessor Ian for setting the base within the agreed time schedule and for his valuable contribution to Hasselblad.”

A Hasselblad spokesperson commented: “Former CEO Ian Rawcliffe’s focus was to enhance the company’s operations and build a solid base. With this in place together with Perry’s extensive experience, the company now has the best foundation to successfully implement its long term strategy – based on its unique positioning and strength in its core product proposition.”
