My daughter wants to shoot a short film for her school talent show. So we're headed to the park today to put all you've taught me to work 🙂. Thanks Simon.

[@SiHorrocks]

that's awesome. Happy filming!

Just the kind of video I was searching for. I like how calm you're when explaining.

[@bchurch6804]

This is my fourth "MM" video in a couple days. I've been shooting pictures as a hobby for a couple years now, and I feel like I've gained a ton of experience in the last 2 days as a result of your clear concise videos. The information contained within as well, as the overall production value are nothing short of inspiring as a "wanna-be" filmmaker and YT content creator. I will continue consuming these instructional videos as long as you continue making them sir. And if I ever encounter you in the real-world I would love to buy you a beer good sir. Thanks again for all your hard work.

[@claucar4245]

Where can I purchase it?

[@allainereyes799]

I watch all the advertisement in all of his videos. I am a newbie in using gimbal and this is very informative.

[@Leehensman]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1021">17:01</a> yay bonus, I'm wheelchair bound, was main reason I brought the smooth 4, my plan was to find some sort of clamping mechanism where I could attach the gimbal to my chair via the tripod camera screw mount but have had no luck yet, I'm 99.9% on my own except dogs and fox rescues and would never allow anyone to push my chair anyway so is the perfect solution as need both hands to push my chair. Ps I absolutely love your videos, you have taught me so much, just wish I had your smooth voice and confidence. Big thankyou for your amazing videos and advise, honestly would not have known where to start without you.

[@nikytamayo]

if you have a standard chair with tubular steel arm rests, perhaps a motorcycle gopro mount and a gopro screw adapter will work for you. Added bonus, all the little links for the gopro system make it easy to position your camera and lock out solidly in place. But be warned that while they might take the weight of a phone, a phone and gimbal might cause the links to loosen or droop.

[@Leehensman]

@@nikytamayo I have no arm rests on mine only option I have is on frame, but I have titanium chair with quite a wide frame tried all my go pro mounts but not seen the motorcycle ones, will have a look thankyou.👍

[@nikytamayo]

@@Leehensman there are also table clamp mounts with screws for tripod bases that people use for product shots or mounting mics. mobile photography si such great fun, as all this hardware is a fraction of the price of what's needed for a camera! Caveat emptor, some of the knobs on the cheaper ones strip easily!

[@Leehensman]

@@nikytamayo thanks will check it out, one way or other I will find a solution.

[@Ahaukannab]

Soo useful, have had a zhiyun sitting in a droor for almost 2 years because I did not know it's functions, you have answered so many questions in a few minutes, clear, funny and useful. this is one of the best tutorials I have seen. will follow and like. thanks so much

[@dtperformance256]

The best gimbal tutorial on KZbin. Thank you for sharing.

[@walidzakaria8799]

Amazing professor in digital shooting, appreciate your efforts 👌

[@pianystrom8137]

This was helpful! We are planning a shoot in a mall, where we have two hours. I will keep my monopod attached all the time. Thank you, Simon, I learned a lot from you. Not just this video, I've been cramming! I really like the way you explain things.

[@donhendricks3190]

I have been fretting over the challenges of packing and lugging my full DSLR-Gimbal-Motion Control gear on a planned trip to Paris and London. As I will have my iPhone with me, I thought I'd investigate the possibility of lightening the load without lessening the quality of a travel video (just for fun) and, thankfully, I found your channel! BRAVO!! You have given me an entirely new view of shooting quality video with a minimum of gear (better on the back, the budget and easier to secure and protect from thieves!) So, I have just now subscribed to your channel and look forward to learning more from you. To be honest, I find your teaching-sharing style to be the most enjoyable I've found on KZbin! Well done. My sincere thanks and greetings from the USA!

[@SiHorrocks]

Thank you Don! And welcome!

[@1designm923]

Thank you much for the production of this Gimbal Video explanation!!! The Production, explanation, footage, composition, etc is top notch Simon. This Video is Pure Gold. I can't even fathom how long it took you to edit in the cutting room!!!!!!! Once again, thank you and cheers from California from a beginner Gimbal and Drone Guy! Good day, Matthew

[@LouisLuzuka]

This is the greatest guide ever

[@davepoole9520]

Having bought a couple of gimbal stabilisers recently and added to them as I've worked out the limitations of the more basic models I've been watching some videos about gimbal operating with varying levels of helpfulness. KZbin suggested this video which I thought at first might be a bit high level for the information I'm working with as a beginner but I've found this to be very helpful and in depth. Obviously I've liked and subscribed. The amusing thing is that I want to make a video about the people listed on my local war memorial and thought my original video footage could be completed in a day - entirely possible if you want something quick and unspectacular - editing in other relevant photos and other shots later. We're in February at the moment but since I've looked into the cinematic effects that can be created with a gimbal I've extended the shooting timeline exponentially. From originally thinking I could shoot, compose, research, edit and finally produce in two to three weeks I'm now quite prepared to extend the timeline up to early November.

[@miketheweaver923]

OK! I had made up my mind about which gimbal I was going to buy the DJI and I have watched many of your videos about gimbals. After watching this video my head is about to explode now I’m back to square one and really don’t know which one I need lol. Love your videos looking forward to the next one and maybe by then I will have a gimbal in my shopping cart.

[@miketheweaver923]

Just bought the Zhiyun smooth 5 combo kit ;-0

[@heiser_bill]

@@miketheweaver923 have you been happy with the Smooth 5?

[@selvakanagarajan9900]

Awesome video. Comprehensive and clear. Thank you for sharing the knowledge

[@savvysurveyor5318]

Got to say, this is brilliant. Bought my OM4 last year, and I have failed to progress with it. This has woke me up to what is possible to great some interesting and useful shots. Thank you 👍

[@71whitey]

This is the best phone gimbal video I've seen. Thank you.

[@dobiebloke9311]

Thank you Simon. Very well done.

You're welcome 😊

[@graemeyetts3465]

Excellent piece and a particularly nice voice and commentary.

[@jeffe.8727]

Another great video!! This is super-helpful, as I am getting started using a gimbal with my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. Thanks so much for all that you do here on KZbin. I really appreciate your creativity, technical knowledge, and willingness to share both of them together with such well-planned and well-executed presentation!

[@sudhigemini]

Hi just wanted to know ..if ur facing any issues with s22 ultra..I'm planning to buy .. but thr are mixed reviews .. please help 🙏

[@pankajwadhwa4897]

Let me know which gimbal should I buy for my Samsung s 22

[@atreyucove7456]

Another awesome video! I can’t wait to order my Crane M3! I have my iPhone 13 pro and my moment lenses just came! Thanks Simon you’re such an inspiration! 😊

[@johne1599]

Please share with us how that works for you. Be interested to know if you can get your iPhone to balance in the gimbal with the lenses and/or filters on it. What made you select the Crane 3? Was it the gimbal video put out by the guys at Moment lenses? They found that with lenses on the iPhone it was near impossible to balance the entire rig in a popular handheld gimbal. Plus, the rig then exceeded the payload limit of the gimbal. Bummer. I really wanted to buy one of these devices, but I want to use it with lenses and filters.

[@atreyucove7456]

@@johne1599 the Crane M3 is a Hybrid Gimbal and it can handle all of the weight of your phone plus lenses and filters all at once. Since it’s a hybrid Gimbal it can also handle the weight of DSLR cameras as well! It’s well worth it. A little pricey, but I’m buying it regardless of price because I want something that can handle alot of weight and still give me great quality video. Simon did a video on the Crane M3! Here is the link to his video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eH2YeIKcnLifja8

[@oscaraguilar4218]

Excellent explanatory video and so easy to understand, thanks.

[@allanhfchin]

I just found your channel and your smartphone gimbal video is very informative, as I'm looking for one. My issue is that I walk with a rollator, so I have to keep both hands on it while I walk, so I'd at least need a super clamp and maybe an extendable rod. So I was glad that you showed that one guy using a wheelchair to film, as I would be doing something similar. At least I shouldn't have the footstep bobbing problem. Unfortunately I don't see much info on making videos with a rollator, but I'm beginning to understand what I need to do to set myself up. Thanks again for the video! 🙂

[@sjinzaar]

Thank you, Mr Simon. Really needed this.

[@acap9725]

[@wrealestate8778]

Great tutorial thank you

[@Feuerwizard]

Your videos are always so good man. Love how you explain things and your voice is so calming and engaging. Do you know if there is any gimbal out there suitable for smartphones like iPhone 13 Pro Max with accessories (e.g VND) that can also support full frame cameras like Sony a7IV with a 1.4f 35mm GM lens?

[@SiHorrocks]

thanks. I'm not very knowledgeable on regular cameras as I don't own any. But if the Zhiyun Crane M3 can't handle a a7IV with a 1.4f 35mm GM lens then you might need to get a full DSLR size gimbal and use a mounting clamp on it for smartphones

[@chr1s_69]

Hello Sir, what gimbal is better? Zhiyun Crane M2 or DJI OM6? Thanks

[@federico68]

How do you manage the slow motion. In your examples is very smooth. Did you do it in post? (how) Or do you shoot in slow motion mode via Mimo? Thanks

[@koniuu1989]

Can you make a lifting crane shot with Feiyutech VB3 or 4? I mean pan forward from bottom (ground level) to top holding gimball normally (not upside down), not like in DJI OM6 where you have to handle gimball sideway.

[@karlgoesfishing.sightseeing]

Quick question can you make it rotate to follow your subject?

@@mohitmutha4268 Hohem are cheaper than DJI but not quite as well designed, still pretty good though

[@jacktoddy9783]

Thank you Simon for a very interesting and informative video. I really enjoyed this video. One of the things I wanted to know about was the 'smoothness' of the joystick operation. For example: on the basic Mavic Mini Drone I was surprised to find that with updated firmware, the lens Gimbal's up and down pan could be tweaked to perform a very smooth operation even if you 'snatch' at the thumbwheel that operates the up and down pan of the camera. You can adjust how this works in the Drone's software settings. kind a delayed vertical pan-initiation with delayed pan-stop. Does something similar exist for Phone Camera Gimbals? One where the Gimbal's software can 'ease-in' and ease-out of both horizontal and vertical pan shots. I was wondering which gimbal you think has the smother joystick function. Once again, thank you for an enjoyable video.
