In the world of mine, the most challenging skill shown in this video is ignoring the attention of others. There are so many people looking at you. I wish Brandon could teach us newbies how to run around on the street without looking like chickens.

[@whateveryoucall7031]

just ignore them. They won’t pay your bills

[@priscadera]

😂😂looking like chickens got me😅

[@Ferrous_Bueller]

Brandon Li looks exactly like you would look like, he just isn’t letting something as benign as onlookers to stop him.

[@onbeyondllc4762]

New Yorkers wouldn't be caught lookin for nuttin. Great vid with the diagrams. Thanks!

[@SatanSupimpa]

Brandon videos makes me feel like I should exercise more.

[@FalharNomads]

Learnt a lot today. Thanks Bro

[@laraluis]

Hi Brandon congratulations for this simple but powerful cinematic exercise the diagrams help a lot to understand the technique and later I just enjoy the shot, thanks a lot

[@antonsemenyura5337]

Loved 2nd motion when you run around when she walks! Very impressive!

[@theroychan69]

Great skill Brandon! You don’t even need a gimbal actually.

[@GoodyMorillas]

Thanks Brandon. Straight to the point with such helpful tips.

[@NKHSP]

[@highestvirtue1892]

Thanks Brandon for making this creative ideas video for us!

[@chengyang1380]

Thanks Brandon. Amazing 🙏🏽

[@sharuan.sofian]

Thank you for hearing me out on vertical. Awesome video!

[@KEHA14]

These are amazing I cannot wait to try them out

[@kurshadqaya1684]

Very helpful for beginners. Thank you!

[@IndiaDelgado]

These were great! I also didn’t realize you could use other camera apps with the gimbal! I realize that the AI features won’t work, but it’s good if you want to choose in ProRes log and still get some great gimbal footage!

[@axelmogollonlopez7419]

PURE GOLD

[@monztermovies]

Great shots!

Good tips 🤩

[@soyisaaccc]

very good video bro, thanks :D

[@AbdurashidS]

@Brandon, tell me please! I choose DJI RS Mini for Iphone 14 pro Max. I see you tested both (Insta 360flow and DJI RS Mini). Which one to choose? Your opinion?

[@TheStudio_70]

I used to be able to move like Brandon 20 years ago.

[@rezones]

VERY dope.... even more dope that our mural at the World Trade Center made it into the video :)

[@flyerfungeneration2165]

Hi Brandon, I really like your films, they give a lot of ideas. I took a different shot, if you have time look at it and tell me what you think. Thanks again for your movies.

[@lynchy3562]

Unfortunately I haven’t the courage to move around like this in public

[@AndrewCrazyhero]

1:12 Hi Hi

[@papsny]

Damn, so that was you in the white shirt! I was walking in the city and saw a crazy guy going around shooting with a gimbal and iPhone. Never thought it was you haha Lol Great work!

[@tubekrake]

You didn't see the second guy following him with an even bigger Gimbal.

[@Rkfilm2023]

Power full hand ,, my hand shaky even with gimbal

[@user-ji9uk7jo4r]

这也太酷了我草

[@phanithung6626]

Dit you use the camera iPhone or Insta360 app?

[@clydedigital]

Half of those moves would put me in hospital…

[@playboxlimited.]

Does anyone know if the video from the Flow is 10bit ? Thanks

[@riyasraable]

Hi Brandon, I like your trousers, it’s super comfy I feeeel….can you give me a link to purchase..thanks

[@ericxin-lp7jd]

0:44 Can you do this in landscape mode?

[@whatdarylldid]

1:11 👋👀

[@RATED_TG]

Is it possible to use this in cinematic mode ?

[@shashwath9032]

Brandon videos are just informative and amazing. These kind of smartphone videos should continue more. And also Brandon kinda hate using a gimbal for a smartphone as its isn't agile.

[@manueldavid8520]

Is it possible to use it with the system camera app while tracking? For example, to use cinematic mode

[@BrandonLiUnscripted]

No, I think you need to use the insta360 app for tracking

[@ettinfarmer]

For the slow Mo shots do you shoot in 30 or 60 fps then slow down?

[@sdtimeless]

60 fps

[@SaltAndCopper]

I was expecting that you would use the AI more. I can see that you have enough control you don't seem to need it to keep your model properly framed. This purpose is my #1 reason for wanting a gimbal, to keep my subject framed. However, I fear that it won't maintain the angle of the phone and strive for a more level angle with the AI activated. Could this be the reason you really only use it at the end?

[@llliiillliiilll404]

Even if you buy this gimbal, you’ll never do this 360deg move running like an insane person on a crosswalk

[@demonhogo]

Doesn’t the gimbal have tracking? Should make the orbit move easier

[@walkingtour79]

How to get subject like this

[@DevinTrent88]

Hey Brandon and everyone in the comment section... What software do you use to make those 2D sketch animations for each shot? I don't necessarily want to make moving animations but I want to show to make 2D photos of my light setups for photography. Thanks alot!

[@BrandonLiUnscripted]

Hi sorry I didn’t make the animations myself! I had an editor’s help

[@DevinTrent88]

@@BrandonLiUnscripted No worries. I found some options online. Thanks for getting back to me. I love your work. I've been following you for about 5 years now!

[@ryanreyes5440]

Watching you doing those moves with a smart phone gives me social anxiety lol

[@mmsa9911]

we need transitions tutorials 😔

[@YB-oq6cq]

Bro the amount of times you said "on your iphone"

[@halmedrano]

The thing keeping me from buying this gimbal is that we can't shoot Apple LOG while using the Insta app's AI features. It means if you want to take advantage of all the cool AI stuff, you're stuck with the color profile of the image that comes out of the app and - no offense, it's not my preference. I'm sure it can be color corrected in post but I prefer starting from a LOG image.

[@danielosetromera2090]

Ninja walk not included.

[@TroyQwert]

I like the hints. But personally I hate vertical shots on horizontal screens. This pises me off. 😊

[@pingvinio_]

Нормальный стаб возьми...

[@David-cz7mm]

Nice, but why giving all this well established camera movements such „fancy“ names..? 🤷🏽‍♂️ I mean, they are all not new, so why you are not calling them by there „real“ names? Doesn’t make them better and it’s just confusing… 😕

[@Oo2k10]

I’m sorry but the price does not justify the cost. Is like $260. Like literally in this video the only time you use ai tracker features is like 2-3 times the rest you manually shot the video, which any other selfie stick can do(the one from shiftcam travelpod selfie is pretty good and only cost $44).

[@BrandonLiUnscripted]

Selfie sticks and gimbals are different. The Flow has a 3-axis gimbal which mechanically stabilizes the shot and keeps a level horizon. A selfie stick does not. That’s why a selfie stick is so much cheaper.

[@checkeredflagfilms]

Be nice if she smiled occasionally

[@demonhogo]

Always at least one subtle misogyny post in comments 😂😂

[@Fahim-il7wz]

Found the neckbeard

[@crearesitewebcom]

Hi i want to buy today for my trip. I have samsung s10lite. Can you please advise what to choose. Hohem plus mobile from 2022/2024, insta flow or something else? Thank you
