i just saved this to a playlist hahha

lmao

[@MrPhilbautista]

So I'm guessing about 20 people have seen this video by now

[@ToastedSynapseGaming]

From what I've tested, I found that having different drop-time values for different situations help. For example if you are running through the woods, then a 1 sec drop time works great, versus a 3 second one used for a character gently moving through a scene.

[@CARSRacingGames]

I noticed that all the Gimbal/flycam tutorial presenters has all oversized arms. Is that a result of manipulating those gadgets or it's a requirement? XD

[@akagamisang6289]

u dont need to go gym after use dis glidecam/steadicam XD

[@MrPhilbautista]

Roids

[@2xXaylaXx2]

I thought I bought a trash stabilizer, but I followed the instructions and it works almost perfectly now after 10 minutes of practice. Thanks!

[@lightbox617]

Got a Neewar steadicam for less than $120. It looks like a molecule by molecule knock off of a Glidecam. I'm working on the relatively steep learning curve of never having done video before (I have a couple of Canon 70d's). I "get" this video and it's very helpfull but wonder why all of these guys who do them have like 18 inch bicepts

[@santoshkiran1448]

Because of carrying the steady cam for a long time. Either that happens or you build up your muscles beforehand.

[@realflow100]

I got one for 50$ on amazon :D

[@LoKiiiEditz]

This guy is so majestic.

[@geojames2550]

Momentum productions, can u give me your email address.....so that I can mail u some important details about steadycam and other questions I have , you can clear my doubts.

[@MomentumProductions1992]

[e-mail] :)

[@aptcoree]

so aquaman

[@ramirphoto]

which glidecam are you using? do you have a link for it? thanks!

[@AmmarLegato]

He mentioned in other videos that he custom built it by assembling different parts according to his needs . You can go with the simple Glidecam 2000 or 3000 for a start .

[@robertonecoechea2993]

He looks like Mac with longer hair, nonetheless awesome tutorial.

[@cultgamut]

Cannot unsee!

This is the best tutorial on balancing I have watched, and I've gone through a few! This is clear, logical, and most importantly it has the right order of doing things! Almost everyone, including my manual, starts off with the camera/plate adjustments on top, but it is only by starting with the weights apart, minimum weight, fully telescoped-out drop test and going from there was I finally able to get it! I still have some micro adjustments, but it at least looks like it is supposed to now, instead of the twirly baton I had earlier! Thank you so much for the thought and detail.

[@MomentumProductions1992]

I just released a video on how to troubleshoot the most common Glidecam problems! Watch the video HERE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2rOl3Shi9uWatE

[@mikkocruz9331]

What if it is spinning?

[@CMMusicVEVO]

Spinning on a glide cam isn't always a bad thing, it just means you have to pinch underneath the axis mechanism with your left hand every now and then to keep it straight.

[@GuruChelaJadugar]

Best video thx

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Thank you for watching! :)

[@joshjones]

I've been trying for about three hours and it still isn't balanced. Getting general adjustments is fine, drop test works for judging weights, but the "finer adjustment" process is literally never-ending. It always sways. The most confusing part is the way that even if I do something minor like adjust the camera plates placement, overtime it seems like it's changing other factors. Like it'll slowly get worse as I make small adjustments and I'll check the drop time and it's changed, despite the fact I never touched the weights and only made really small adjustments to the head.

[@Pangchristian]

i have watched like 30 videos about balancing a glidecam, and i've used my glidecam for probably a year, i still can't balance the glidecam properlt

[@SammyR]

you remind me a lot of Mac from Its always sunny

[@mauricered2000]

SammyLegacy lol this is a project bad asz piece 😂😂😂

[@christianstordahl8688]

YOU"RE SO RIGHT

[@VelosterRally16_UV]

Getting the hang of it but how do i stop it from spinning? It spins 😬 its balanced but i cant get the minor spinning to stop

[@Acm19999]

AlphaRally16 saaaame

[@5thElementDFW]

Same!!!

[@Bledder]

Could be an over tightened bearing, my old glidecam had that problem. It was on the cheaper end of things

[@RyougaKasper]

It looks like you have to use both hands, so spinning shouldn't be an issue

[@2stepmediaofficial]

to stop spinning add some bearing oil to the bearing and spin it around to lube it up , make sure the bearings arent over tightened then when using the gimbal hold the handle with one hand and lightly hold the shaft of the gimbal to stop spinning . iv got some vlogs on my channel in which some clips were using the gimbal , so it does work just make sure you hold it correctly and check the bearings

[@MysoreStudio]

Thanks bro very informative today first time I have bought a camera stabilizer n unboxed it looked like something fell.f4om outer space but now I know it better n gonna start the balancing act. But u never showed or discussed the extra weights add-on how to use th3m

[@beprogrammer810]

i bought one today and tried and i got sick.. its so hard.. no matter how much you balance.. but it shake little bit .. why???

[@drj144]

Didn't know Steve Burke had a camera channel

[@BraydenGlascockMedia]

i tried to balance my steadycam for the first time today and its so frustrating. its the flycam 5000 and there is no one thumbdial to make micro adjustments. i]you have to unscrew for knobs that hold it by friction and adjust it with your hand. i wish i got the HD5000. anyways i cant stop it from spinning and turning to the side when i do side to side movements, any tips?

[@jeremyfoster4232]

Love this video. I'm covering a stair climb race for a man who's 73 and will likely be moving at a fast walk. wondering if anyone recommends a stategy in using the laing stabilizer for this? Would be cool to see someone using it in challenging situations

[@whatthehellthisis]

Best and most clear tutorial I've seen so far.

[@Narendrasingh-lg3db]

Hi Josh Am facing a problem with fly cam balancing. After i leave holding it horizontally for the 2.5 second count, my camera goes downwards. Am forced to put weight and after putting weight it becomes heavy and cant hold it for a longer duration. I saw that you haven't put any weight below then also you are getting the perfect balance. Please help.

[@Narendrasingh-lg3db]

Am using flycam 3000

[@shashwathsshetty4671]

The part where you just waved it around 🤯

[@OneGuitarist]

Excellent video! I just got a Sutefoto glidecam for my Fuji XT2 for b-roll, music videos and other things, and from all the videos I've seen, yours is by far the most helpful and best-made. It took me maybe five minutes to get mine set up perfect after watching this. I actually just forwarded this video to a few friends as well. Great video, man! Rock on! \m/

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Thanks so much man!

[@jacobskywoker1240]

Only he who has used a steadicam understands how this video has over 700k views.

[@lorraine6185]

My son wants to go into filming. He’s in the Army & I want to surprise him. This light would be perfect!

[@pal2tech]

Awesome video. The best I’ve seen yet on the glidecam. Well done, sir.

[@oouwoa]

Momentum Productions you should play tommy Oliver in the next power rangers movie

[@thewildcaputo]

Momentum Productions good video very informative

[@wiegerdam1963]

Does a zoom lens change the balance? When it's comepletely zoomed out or in, will it unbalance?

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Yes definitely.

[@Schroeder3000]

congratulation to that super smart question! :D :D

[@wiegerdam1963]

Schroeder3000 are you being sarcastic?

[@nugrahizasatryobimantoro2553]

Wieger Dam the point is if u change anything (physically) on your camera, the center of mass will also change which means the balance will also change

[@gregap8282]

Ive watched, rewatched, tried and retried. I'm gonna buy a Ronin.

[@DSFoliche]

🤣

[@Chorusfilms]

i have laing , can i use it on my ursa mini 4.6 without waist support ?

[@eqilibrius]

Too much ads

[@C4NT1]

Waaaay better than the tutorial DVD that came with my stabilizer. Thank you!

[@pamjoseph2325]

C4NT1 I hear an echo! Lol. I said the EXACT same thing! 😁

[@ArtistCreationsPicturesInc]

I have a Sutefoto s40 Handheld Stabilizer. Every time I move forward or backward like you did at 9:34, it keeps spinning around, doesn't hold still, and leans off balance. How can I do it?

[@nyuthevlog2146]

Your review help me allot...👍..thanks allot...

[@MrLager02]

Oh my god, I had a steadicam for years and I always didn't know what I did wrong, so I gave up trying. But now I'm going to shoot some video again and this video helped me tremendously. Thanks man!

[@tonylouisvisionvideography3469]

Still can't balance my P45-s even after 8 months. I cannot get dynamic balance, cannot stop the swaying. It remains a very difficult task

[@EMAZINGERIK]

Okay so I just got my Flycam but I have no idea how to use it. Is supposed to be spinning loosely and I'm supposed to keep it from spinning or what? I think I've balanced everything it's just when the spinning in place I have a question about.

[@kickfila]

i just bought a glidecam 2000 hd for my sony a6500. have you used that combination. ive had some trouble balancing. do you know if its because the camera is so small?

[@msbmri24]

Changed lens? Be prepared to adjust Changed battery? Be prepared to adjust Took a dump? Be prepared to adjust Your GF slept with your friends? Be prepared to adjust Planning to leave the world? Be prepared to adjust

[@davidbarragan1227]

Looks like the foo from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia

[@MuntaserGalab]

what if I have minimum waits and shortest pole but still sway? using a yelangu s60t with Lumix g7???

[@emlakpropertytours4041]

hi can you please review kingjoy vs 1047 how to blance please please

[@Cuetips1000]

Is my conclusion right? A glidecam is similar to a gimbal in "all locking mode" with zero tilt?

[@LoiselsPhotography]

Can you balance the Blackmagic4k with zeiss 35mm plus speed booster with a monitor on top? Or is that way too heavy?

[@dirtyd8487]

If you make the abrupt movement and it's falling how do we fix thag?

[@Thewritersforum]

Definitely the most informative video I’ve come across. Do you have a video about adding accessories to the glidecam such as, monitor and mic? As always I greatly appreciate your videos. Thank you.

[@poksertv]

Make another one steady cam tutorial! In 2020)))

[@steadicamwalker]

Not very informative. He doesn't even mention the dynamic balance (spin test)

[@Raj-xv3zi]

hey, which steadicam are you using? I bought a Flycam 3000 but it lacks fine adjustment screws.... will it be good to return that steadicam and buy one with the adjustment screws?

[@henryssurfshowcase]

Looks like you have that Glidecam mastered !..

[@wertycz]

When the video started i wondered why he has so big biceps. Now, at the end of the video, i know why.

[@terrenceadiko7361]

So in your other video you used the Laing p-03? What glidecam are you using for this video, and out the two which one did you like the best? Thanks!

[@Serhildan000]

Great video! When I do the movements at 9:34 - 9:45, the stabilizer doesn't lean, but it slowly spinn around, why is this happening?

[@MH_FalieqbinMohdNorHisham]

hi thankyou im having problem with the camera swerving like drunk people when moving 🤣 it was the weight and extension of the rod that fixed my problem

[@moniqueclark5423]

Hi, I balanced my camera & stabilizer pretty well but it still spins to the left. What adjustment would I make for that?

[@storybookcreations410]

i wanted to try steadicam, so i got a flycam nano. i placed 80D. it balances well. no shaky footage. But, it always fails drop test. can you answer?

[@samyb3486]

when I shake mine like you its turning a slow circle ... why? Is that normal and if I turn the lense to me the steadycam gets destabilized do you know why ? Id I turn ot back to normal its stabilizing normaly again.

[@rQdarmawan]

please review glidecam with 5DmkII...

[@janmichaeljo8537]

I have a question. if you're taking a video what mode dial do you use, and using the blury thing in the lens. do you use manual or auto? answer pls asap. thank you!

[@kevink2207]

Thank you for this great video! I was able to balance my Koolertorn Stabilizer with some trial and error like you said. But it was tremendously helpful in getting it quicker than guessing and spending more time than it would have. Now to practice with it. Thanks again.

[@MomentumProductions1992]

I'm glad you got it balanced! Watch my Glidecam playlist for a ton of tutorials :)

[@artoursstuff2683]

Did you get this big by attaching 15kg weight to your steadicam and flying it for hours? I'm gonna do the same now!

[@IvanUrusov]

So helpful videos, so great content quality, so underrated channel! Because of your video I realised that my steadicam weight wasn`t balanced properly and discovered for myself new ways of using it

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Thank you so much Ivan!

[@mtdreampics5402]

Thank you so much Bro.... Very helpful to me

[@pawwclipprojects8864]

Can you write the model of this stabilizer glidecam and the other what do you think about neewer carbon steady glide cam??

[@oscarrocha992]

Can someone explain why a lower FPS is better for cinematic looks??

[@DANIELYOSIPOV]

how you focusing when you use steadicam? if you work with manual focus you should move the focal ring

[@innocentmusafir7209]

Sir i m using d750 with 24-105mm so what should i do

[@juliank5523]

So what if I use a stabilizer that only costs 70bucks? where are the differences?

[@iamapie13]

Dang, I do make sure my cakes are balanced, calibrating cakes can be trickier than most people think

[@GunjGuglani]

could you put a link to the glidecam you used in the video?

[@youssefouasfi960]

what mean the seiz of gleidcams imean short like 24/40 and 24/60 cm thanks

[@Kai-mt9pf]

Whats THe stedicam U were USing IN your Video

[@camerappl1294]

I watched your video over and over again and I still can't balance my steady camera

[@rikfreddy]

Hi,what's the minimum load?My camcorder seems too light .

[@BelgianTrickers]

Try writing a script before filming a video, that way someone who finally after an hour of trying to balance his steadycam won't have to re-do it all because you only tell them at the very end about the gimbal. Otherwise it was very helpful, but that really forced me to give your video a dislike.

[@MomentumProductions1992]

You found my video helpful, yet you gave me a dislike. Yeah that makes sense. Good luck with your stabilizer mate.

[@jayp775]

That was brilliant video and very good information many thanks

[@kieule2654]

what's that steadicam in the thumbnail and can i buy a mount for low angle shot like that cause i didn't see any steadicam come with it? plz help

[@santoshkiran1448]

Are you a Model because if you are not you should think about becoming one.

[@123brinkman]

Hi, I bought a cheap Eimo steadicam from amazon for 70 pounds. I wiggles around a lot. The drop time is fine. How can I reduce that wiggle? I tried adding more and less weight to the camera but nothing worked (Panasonic g7). Can it be the lower quality?

[@dmn5384]

Love the information but 3 minutes of nonsense at the start. Tsk tsk. Cut away dead weight for a better video.

[@Fraseri]

Hi, could you tell me if it is possible to put a smartphone on a steadicam that is for devices up to 8 pounds?

[@ssarasary]

well explained how to adjust steadicam. thanks.

[@BrokeTheSeal]

Once you get it all balanced out, can you just attach the same camera again and not have to keep balancing it?
