Would like to see a video about how to operate with it

[@learnteach2learn729]

Dude I subbed automatically. I was so close to return my Steadicam because I had a hard time to balance it. I watched many videos on youtube and was still unsuccessful until I came across this video. Thank you so much!

[@yoyoz333]

mine isnt swaying so much, but it rotates around too much so that the camera lens isnt pointing forwards. :/ any tips?

[@Easyendeavour]

Super helpful thank you I'm going to get mine balanced now

[@jquin6920]

Hey Josh I like your videos I think there great and I think its amazing on how your helping the Steadicam community. The only thing I would correct you on is the balancing issues. I didn't hear you bring up the dynamic balancing, its actually not a pendulum problem its dynamic balance. The steps to achieving what is considered perfect balancing in the Steadicam Industry are too have your correct drop time which you did point out and that should be anywhere from around 2-3 seconds. After you achieve that you fine tune on the head of the sled to level out your pendulum swing. Than most importantly you check your dynamic balance which is a simple practice of spinning the post just beneath the gimble to see if it sways. As noted from one of your other videos to reduce that sway, its actually dynamic balance that causes it. It's kind of a little game we have to play from going back and forth. There are many different types of Steadicam's but the physics in them always stays the same. I have attached a link from a professional and very experienced steadicam operator Chris Fawcett on how he shows you how to achieve dynamic balance. Other than that your videos are great man keep up the good work and happy shooting! Chris Fawcett Steadicam Dynamic Balance Quick Guide kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmq6aZWFj7GAb8k

[@MomentumProductions1992]

John Quintana Thanks for your comment....However, I did cover the drop time test in my other videos :)

[@TechieWAVEs]

+MrJMMedia Wich one is better Wieldy or Liang ?

[@johnbishop9406]

this is a big help for me.. thanks man!

[@SamuelDavies]

Great tutorial! Thanks!

[@erniestreet9544]

Awesome stuff. Any other recommendations for quick release plates and adapters? I can't get that model where I'm at.

[@LorenzoDeWilder]

I use Benro

[@erniestreet9544]

Steven De Wilder Thanks!

[@DannyNetwirk]

MrJMMedia Hey whats up man, I've learned a lot from your tutorials. The problem I am having is that when I film with my glide gear, the footage doesn't come out smooth. I find myself using the warp stabilizer in premiere to make the footage come out nice and smooth. I am also not using a wide angle lens. Any tips on how not to have semi-shaky footage? Thanks!

[@zadvornyros]

Cheers! Thank u a lot!

[@pavel.suchkov]

great tutorial, sir! subscribed!

[@rcOhio]

I however have learned a whole lot from Josh!

[@amatuerbeats2092]

The best tutorial I've seen thus far. The only problem I have now is that the pole spins slowly to the left or right.. spinning in the way a spinning chair spins when you try and get dizzy.. yknow?

[@markshirley01]

thanks - do you prefer weildy

[@henryssurfshowcase]

If you can get the drop time with out weights, do you need them?

[@nashuaunforgetta]

which company glidecam is best ?

[@munirsheba9537]

thank u so much Josh

[@bsmuda]

Please come over and help me! Lol. Haven't tried yet since ordering the quick release plate

[@BassShredder14]

anyone know where you can buy a headplate separately? the XR-4000 one is real tedious with the micro adjustments. would rather one like this one where you just turn the knob a little to make the micro adjustment. please help!

[@r0ah]

where did you buy your replica steadicam? great vids btw bro

[@ItsKapow]

I got my 550D so close to perfect, thanks though!

[@ashl3yow3n]

Would of been nice to see footage using the steadicams as well as cut ins of close ups of the glidecam

[@MomentumProductions1992]

I have footage from this steady cam. Please check out my channel for those videos.

[@jhonnyferreira6825]

Nice. Thank you

[@kaziwaleed]

Thanks a lot! This is perfect

[@KRiSuomg]

My steadycam is rotating alltime... why? ;/

[@amatuerbeats2092]

rotating.. like spinning in circles? when i walk my cam turns to the left or right, which is really annoying.

[@nemome5837]

You haven't set it up.

[@joelgarman]

thank you so much man lifesaver!

[@husariaproductions4240]

hey im having alot of trouble balancing my lumix g7. its a really light camera and im getting a bit confused. any advice i have the yelangu s60t

[@ollieappletree3587]

I have a Nikon d3400 and I don't know how to move the head assembly on my yelangu s60t

[@arthurph9744]

Take all the weight out of the yelangu s60t and balance it. The camera is too light to use any weights with this steady cam. You should get the 3 seconds like him on the video after taking them off. I have the same camera, and I assume you're using the kit lens with it. Make sure you have the battery inside the camera when you do it. Good luck!

[@arthurph9744]

To move the head assembly push the blue knob to the left, mine came with a lot of pressure on it, maybe that's why you can't move it.

[@ollieappletree3587]

Oh thank alot

[@MAGEtvPTB]

...good job, man.

[@BeatsMusicMan]

what is the quick release plate called. how do you spell it?

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Giottos :)

[@madebymarco]

Where's the link to the products?

[@stkutu]

EVEN MORE TURNS

[@SunZalovely]

Thank you. :)

[@radsuer]

this is great

[@cariapoena4962]

dude can you help me? when im doing the drop thes my camera rotates like crazy, what is it? Im really frustated i've beeing watching your videos for a while and everything but i cant nail it. I miss videos where people talk about the phenomenos that may occur while balancing, every tutorial i find people are just showing how they balance they setup and is really not objective. I think the master tutorial would be something like, showing the symptoms of a miss balance stab. Like a example: Pendumlum effect - what causes it, how to solve it./ Swaying issues -what causes it - how to solve it. (ps i know you have a video saying about this one just giving an example cause i don't know the name of the others possible problems.) Hope i could make my self clear, and sorry for grammar erros, i'm not a native speaker anyway just trying my best.

[@VITW1000]

Hi, have to say something about your last statement. "People don't use it wedding cinematography" Dave of cinemacake has been teaching glide cam and stedicam for last 15 years or longer also look at Ray and iQvideography work. You good tutorial but last was bold.

[@MarcelloScotti]

Hi Josh, which one would you rather get, the Wieldly or the Laing P4S? Wieldly www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00P7P3XNY?keywords=Wieldy&qid=1457776075&ref_=sr_1_4&sr=8-4 Laing www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JTT2F92?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=AF9K99UWY4GEJ thanks in advance

[@Unrecordedworld]

17:45 People don't use it in Wedding Cinematography enough because it's a bitch to balance loool. Such pain Such tears

[@techfreshness]

[@nadinebernardino1704]

i'm having a hard time learning because of his arms... lol. Anyways. thank you for the vid!
