Thanks 😊

[@erwindaveg1]

Awesome summary!

[@alliphil1]

Gracias! And also 7:42 Invest in a power bank

[@MarcojLotito]

Thank you. I enjoyed the whole video (and many of your other ones)... You're a great teacher, but I must be a terrible student. I can't even seem to be able to hold it right. I would like to keep the smartphone steady while i move forward or just use my torso from left to right, but the damn thing moves anyway (using a DJI OM 5)... It doesn't keep my desired framing, it turns slightly horizontally...

[@arashkordi7771]

I like this! Straight to the point! No extra fluff or timewasting to keep us watching for better stats! Pure and simple! you sir, have just gained a subscriber because of this excellently produced video! Cheers!

[@SuperBulldog03]

Brilliant. Thank you. Lot's of very helpful advice.

[@deborahpondermance2795]

These are great tips for shooting in general, with or without a gimbal. Love your example of carrying hot coffee to illustrate the benefit of doing the ninja walk.

[@EarlDeanDonte909]

Steve you are definitely a pro at this I’ve watched a few of your tutorials and I have to say all of them are captivating great job my favorite out of all on this particular one is definitely Balancing with the coffee cup that makes so much sense great job I look forward to more from you.

[@prabdau]

One thing I would add...Play back each clip before moving on to the next shot. You don't want to discover later in the edit that some of your clips don't look as good as you originally thought. Also, you might consider using a Monitor Hood Sun Shade for your phone during playback so you can better see your finished shot.

[@ksnmurthy4476]

You are the King of gimbal tutorials. 🙏🏽💐👏🏽👏🏽😍

[@hainesmatthewhaines2137]

You put a lot of thought and preparation into this video. I love how you echo the coffee and gimbal shots. I’m really excited about discovering your channel!

[@sanjayjaiswal5447]

Sir you are really too good. I can't believe that you are giving such high quality education for free. So thank you so much sir. Keep doing it and 1million is not to far.

[@shanmukhanandi9905]

Always so inspiring to watch your tutorials Sir. I wonder how you make it all look so simple. Great content packed in a small tutorial.

[@geraldprost9254]

This is the second of your videos that I have watched. I appreciate how practical your tips. I have been working in video for many years; however, I have never used a gimbal. I decided to get started on gimbals with a DJI MO4 and a iPhone 12. I can’t believe how much there is to learn. Thanks for your help.

[@riyadicaturtraveling]

I like the Coffee technique 😂

[@PeterMossUkulele]

Loved this - Thank you for taking the time to make this very informative video. I also liked the links to the equipment used and also links to similar videos you have created. Nice one. Peter.

[@abzainazraai]

Watching this makes me wanna get myself Hohem too! Amazing video once again! Keep it up 👌🏻

[@oskara.mendana3625]

Thank you for all these tips! I'm learning so much with your videos!

[@AdaminNihon]

Great advice! I had no idea about the lock function for focus/exposure so that’s fantastic!! Subscribed!

[@tcadventurechannel]

As a beginner, learning basics from your video really improved my filming skills. Thank you for sharing!

[@barkingmadmedia6680]

I find your tutorials and tips great, and it was your review of the Hohem isteady X that convinced me to buy it. This is my first gimbal, and Im struggling with knowing what modes I should be using. I’d love to see a run throw of each mode and how best to use them.

[@Arome_Shot_It]

This is simply beautiful. This composition is good enough for a shooting story of either a product or a building already. Thank you

[@corpuschristichris2796]

I am a new owner to a gimbal and your video just help me out so much thank you brother

[@funkycoldm3dina]

Hi, I came across your video as I was admiring the design of my DJI osmo3 and I am not much of a filmmaker, but I didn't realize that just filming an old building using a gimbal could be just as exciting as watching a movie done by pros. I have always had ideas of dynamic filmmaking such as in F1, the cars driving away into the sunset but now that i have a DJI Osmo 3 I can't wait to maybe one day when covid 19 is over and I get to go the motorsport races again, I will be able to do those shots that I have always envisioned. All thanks to you and your videos. I hope that all made sense. Bye4now....SqueezyHugs.

[@my_garden.secrets]

🥰❤❤Coolest techniques taught at a pace one can easily follow and retain in memory 😄, unlike those where they r talking so fast you lose interest and stressed.

[@russalkatv1029]

I love all your Tipps You're such my favorite KZbinr for Shooting tippy! Thank you😊

[@MBarkerFilms]

[@samuelgodis6902]

[@sarahwiesehan1442]

Whoa - the wide-angle lens tip and filming in slo-mo are great tips. Thanks!

[@uphillcreativemedia827]

How do you record audio for a DSLR while using a gimbal?

[@BornForEntrepreneurs]

Good to see no one dislike this awesome video

[@DJB323]

you might've brought in all the dislikes

[@_anandu.vishnu_]

@@DJB323 😂😂😂

[@_anandu.vishnu_]

@Kakumei Ascott wtf dude.... He explained everything quite well 🙌

[@SouthernSummoners]

@@DJB323 lol, it doesn't matter to youtube, he gets paid the same either way because it's an interaction, thumbs up, thumbs down all the same as far as KZbin is concerned, which is awesome in this guys case, because he doesn't make any bad videos..

[@SouthernSummoners]

My gimbal is equipped with a power bank.. I'm in love with your channel, I absolutely love this content so much!! I've gotten a decent following on tiktok, but I really wanted to grow my KZbin and I honestly think this is going to help.. I've been so afraid of my crappy camera skills but I have gotten a gimbal and a really nice camera, along with your tips I believe everything's going to be okay 👍! Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos for us new guys.. I'm actually not that new but naive when it comes to these things I guess..

[@Sphuntsho]

Never met a better teacher than you Steve.

[@rikzworld2010]

Another amazing video tutorial!! Thank you for the tips dude . 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌

[@4lakesoutdoor]

My tip: Make sure to switch on the flight mode on your Smartphone😉

[@izwantarmizi2143]

Thanks remind 😁

[@josh3326]

Tip Number 6: Look at your screen, (Not where you’re going.) I do this a lot, and have been hit by cars.

[@_anandu.vishnu_]

Rip

[@TashapeshapeTah]

I enjoy watching your videos. And I love it that we’re using the same phone! Still fail to lock exposure, will work on that. Thank you for sharing!

[@howtobeyouwithshalimar6229]

You're a great artist and a great teacher! Thanks sir for sharing all of these. I'm learning a lot and will hopefully improve my craft as well. God bless you more.

[@monoji9391]

The best one "the coffee technique" i paused the video for typing this in comment vox😂😂

[@TitoTimTravels]

That is how my dad taught us to drive a car. He put a full glass of water on the dashboard and said we better not spill it ha ha

[@lollipopman4408]

I couldn't afford coffee so I used some pure H²0

[@LearnOnlineVideo]

[@TheOnlineCorner]

Great video! I am a new DJI OM 4 gimbal owner and all the tips were super useful, especially the example with the coffee! Thank you!

[@Kevin-ip8uf]

dude! where have you been?? I'm no movie maker or anything, but even just the tips for using the phone camera were greatly appreciated, I use a cheap disposable Moto G-power and you've shown me that locking exposure and focus is a thing, wide angle lens is built in and very cool, and moving the camera instead of my hands is the way to do it. simple stuff that I've never known. I don't even know how youtube brought you into my attention window but I'm thankful it did

[@user-it3mu9vj8p]
