Love this quick tip video, Matt. You make even things like gimbal walking fun to watch. Good info and very helpful!

[@DarrenThompson]

Many thanks for this; I have had a gimble for 6 years and do my best to control my walking, but this is the first time I have seen the roll-step and I look forward to trying it out! 😀

[@mohammudnoor4071]

Great Video Matt....as always you are really helping us with your practical experiences....Salut!

[@emma-js6fn]

you won't believe how helpful this was! thanks a lot

[@remcodegast_]

Great video as always Matt! thanks for the useful tips

[@oguzT800]

thank you matt, i will definetely try deadband settings. You look so friendly, i watched video with joy.

[@HometownPG]

Thanks for the tips! much appreciated

[@miss100percentfunk]

Great tips!! By chance do you know if there is a specific “deadband” sensitivity setting on DJI’s OM 4 smartphone gimbal?

[@theroom.1252]

Amazing content!

[@PravinRawat]

Great video ❤️

[@Gerald_G]

Masterful! Oh and those super slow-mo clips of you changing the Deadbamd settings was like the visual equivalent of “Repeat after me…Step #1 is…blah blah blah”. 🤣🙃🤣

[@hawkmoon7930]

awesome tips

[@theseventh2609]

Thank you

[@Robotas]

Aka ninja walk!

[@SexyDex]

Thanks

[@toddseriouslyfunny]

Hi Matt, just checking in on this - every other video I've seen on this explains the exact opposite with deadband settings - the higher the deadband, the more the gimbal will ignore small movements, and thus the smoother the footage will be. Have I misunderstood what you're saying?

[@GermanOsorio]

That's true, it should be set to "high" instead of "low"

[@RolandoCocom]

I like the thumbnail 👌😄

[@sachinkumar-yw7vu]

More love n respect from india you are n institution

[@DetoxMC]

Awesome Matt, Matt would you judge my first wedding film?

[@Yew-Tyewbe]

I have a mid size camera, it weighs 3.10kg and I bought a Glidecam HD4000 and it’s sooo heavy when all set up!! I workout 5 days a week and still struggle with it! I know I need a new/up to date camera but surely it must still be possible to do with a larger camera?

[@owenacevedolara8850]

Is it more convenient to use sony cameras with Active Shoot on or off on gimbal?

[@KIMTEAVARTEFISHTAILZakima]

Im using Moza Aircross 2 and not found Deadband setting 😔

[@thej.ustory-moviecomingsoo3878]

The best

[@BLiu1]

yess the marching band roll step!

[@whoismatt]

You know! 😂

[@63MacGuy]

Question, if you tilt the gimbal forward shouldn’t the motors now work on the vertical movements.

[@grwup7047]

nope, only gimbals w/ vertical stability ⬆️⬇️ most gimbals are only 3axis not 4 axis . ..

[@BrookeJohnsonTheJunkParlor]

Got a good chuckle because I'm married to a Matt Johnson 😉

[@RobertsIslandLivingAdventures]

I did play a flute in a few marching bands. I should be good at this. 😂

[@whoismatt]

😂😂

[@ZamoraChristian]

Ohh i am changing my sensitivity right away 🙏. This video goes to private useful gimbal videos. 💪

[@whoismatt]

Awesome!

[@TamarackFilmCo]

Ninja walk!!!

[@dwvfilms7238]

Living dangerously with 5% battery on the gimbal. Balls of steel Matt! 🤣

[@willehummelgardkyrk8414]

a trinity-like set-up is the best way to get the smoothest footage without using a technocrane. ;)

[@Kinetic-Studios]

Can anyone recommend an affordable gimbal that can take the weight of a heavy zoom lense like the Sigman24-70mm?

[@Bovkun777]

[@venacorchea]

Hi Matt, thanks for the tip, I have a consultation, I own a GH6, my dilemma if recording in CFexpress or in an external source such a NinjV+, I would like to shoot through a gimbal, which would be a better idea?

[@whoismatt]

I would record internally

[@todddammit4628]

I don't understand why no company has developed a gimbal with a shock-absorbing handle. Really wouldn't need to be electronic. Just have the ability to tighten and loosen the spring(s) to adjust for weight.

[@willehummelgardkyrk8414]

You mean a stedicam arm? ;)

[@kuhn627]

Charge your gibal its on 5% 😂 thanks for this helpful video

[@whoismatt]

😂😂

[@mrjosephDJ]

Here is the biggest tip NOBODY is telling you: get a hoverboard. Yes they are dirt cheap on the 2nd hand market. Remember when they use to be a craze? Well you can pick them up for around $50 used. Use this for your smooth shots. 😎

[@kylehuntmaui]

Another tip: Make sure your camera/lens’s auto-stabilization is off.

[@ZhaddyAlex]

didnt help at all, might be me lmao
