Great shots. How did you balance the lens? Were you using a ND filter?I wanted to see how my Inspire 2 would do with the Olympus 45mm today using spotlight pro mode. I tracked some cars and boats over the water here on Sanibel Island, Florida. I was pleasantly surprised with the results. I shot in 4K at 29.97fps at 1/60th shutter speed.
Still waiting on my balance rings, drifts even with two filters on....

Yes it was h264, and I used a 37-46mm step up ring with a 46mm B+W 103 ND.09 3 stop filter. The lens is a bit nose heavy. I am going to test again today with Narrow field of view at 60 fps and 1/120th of a second. I will also try to balance the lens a little better.
Speaking of H.264, I learned a valuable lesson. I decided to try the new H.265 codec only to find that it is not natively supported by my Mac. I had to search around and find an H.265 converter. So the detail that I thought I would preserve was lost in the conversation. Sooooooooo back to H.264 until the codec becomes more widely used.
Yup, it's what happens without a balance ring, was hoping the stackable filters I'd always be using would help, but alas, no.When you say: "drifts" are you referring to the fact that it sort of droops down or slowly creeps down putting strain on the gimbal motors?
@SanCap did you use composition mode? I ask since I've had issues with quick mode on the larger lenses
Besides using one for balancing... Do you guys find that using a ND filter helps your footage turn out better?
I just picked up this lens (Olympus 45MM/1.7) a week ago and I'm very happy with the results.I wanted to see how my Inspire 2 would do with the Olympus 45mm today using spotlight pro mode.

I've had the balance rings for a while and the gimbal still drifts even when perfectly balanced with the 45mm. I think it's just the nature of the gimbal. Mine drifts very slowly from right to left or vice versa.Nice! My balance rings arrive tomorrow!
