Gyro not working - BMCC 6K

PostFri Jan 05, 2024 12:55 pm

Hey all,

So I have a question concerning Gyro Stabilization on a 6K FF camera. I received my camera a couple of days ago and wanted to eagerly test out the Gyro. All of my attempts failed even though I had my shutter set to 75 degrees, checked the focal length of lens (Sigma 24-70mm) which was displayed correctly and performed a motion sensor calibration.
Every single time I tried to stabilize with Camera Gyro in Resolve my footage became even more wobbly than the original. The normal 'Perspective' mode stabilized it 5x better. I tried different resolutions, shutter angles, lenses... absolutely no difference. I even tried the same in GyroFlow but to no avail.
I then went back to the store to show the employee and he said it might be some sensor issue. So they're sending the camera back to BM and gave me another one to use in the meantime. I tried the Gyro with the new camera and the exact same thing happens... am I doing something wrong? How can perspective stabilization actually stabilize and Gyro make the footage even more wobbly than the original? :cry:

BMCC 6K fw: 8.3.1
Sigma 24-70 f2.8 L-mount
6K DCI 50 fps
75 shutter angle

If anyone has an idea what the issue might be or what I am doing wrong please let me know. Getting pretty desperate here :|

All the best

Did you ever make any progress with this? I just got a BMCC 6K and am having the same issue. No matter what I try Gyro Stabilization does nothing. Perspective works far, far better. Not sure what's going wrong here...

Are you applying stabilization in proxy or original HQ clips? I have no issues with Gyro stabilization, however, I have reported a weird issue when Gyro is applied on proxy clips.

Moreover, have you calibrated the sensor prior to recording? It’s recommended that you do so.
