[@CarlBertossi]

Just subbed, grate video collection on your channel, one question for now what are those shoes? CQ QC link will be very helpful Thanks 🙏

[@VLOGISGARAGE]

What model is your camera?

[@PeterMakholm]

Lumix S1H

[@jolynnathan8475]

„Walking uncorrectly“ is spelled incorrectly! 😁

[@PeterMakholm]

Thanks.

[@ezinwanneokoro8218]

No matter what I think I know, there's always something new to learning watching your videos. Thank you Sir .

[@PeterMakholm]

Thanks mate. Yes we learn every day.

[@spikemedia7868]

Isn’t it supposed to be “walking incorrectly” instead of “walking incorrectly”? Note: not native English myself… just asking out of curiosity

[@PeterMakholm]

Yes it is. Not native english. Sorry.

[@spikemedia7868]

@@PeterMakholm No problem! Great video! Was just wondering.

[@winesap2]

I can never go slowly enough. Every time I get footage with a gimbal, I look at it after and I'm going way too fast and the footage isn't smooth. A wide angle lens would help, but I still need to slow down and never forget to move like I'm in slow motion.

[@158394]

What if the your gimbal setup is too heavy?? Like mine. I have a hard time filming things well, because of the weight

[@Fotoadsza]

Thank you for this video, really helpful. I'm starting out with real estate videos and find that my RSC2 moves side to side as I'm walking forward, no matter how carefully I try to walk. Which setting needs adjusting to limit/stiffen the left to right movement?

[@PeterMakholm]

You will have to adjust the deadband and lower the motor strength a bit. I have deadbabd set to 4 but the higher value = longer delay.

[@Fotoadsza]

@@PeterMakholm thanks so much. I'll give that a go... and keep practicing! :)

[@rich9785]

Great posture advice man!! Thanks

[@mohdnorazmil]

Quick question, is there a what not to do video? I have a rs2. I am not sure if my gimbal is broken or it is normal. I have all my axis lock during shoot at a direction. In flashlight orientation, when i spin my body, the force follow kicks in. In normal orientation, it stays pointed at the initial direction. Both is fine, however if i tilt my gimbal (between normal n flashlight) around 45degrees orientation and start spining, the camera still point to the initial positon but then after too much turning, it causes the motor to go haywire (turn the camera upside down) very fast like the motor broken. I have to sleep the gimbal n turn my orientation back to normal and start again. Other than that move, gimbal is ok. Is this normal? Meaning i should never do that, tilt my gombal (not my camera) and spin?

[@bdv6083]

Is the Gimbal Academy still online?

[@sergioconceicao2774]

If I balance the gimbal well for a 24mm zoom lens and want to switch to 70mm during filming, how do I do it? do i have to rebalance everything again to 70?

[@baileyforrester7]

Yes. Unfortunately. In this instance I usually run a 24-70 or 24-105 & I lock all axises besides tilt & just roll the camera back on the mount plate. It’s a semi quick way of doing it while on the shoot. Rather than rebalancing all the axises.

[@edgartorbert819]

Peter, great video again. One question about balancing camera with exterior microphone attached to hot shoe. For the RSC-2, there is not enough space between the tilt arm and the main part of the gimbal to point the camera straight up for initial tilt balancing. How do you handle such situations?

[@PeterMakholm]

I never use an external mic on a gimbal. But I would put a cage on the camera and mount the mic on the side of the camera.

[@edgartorbert819]

@@PeterMakholm I violated your "keep it simple" advice. Thank you for the suggested way to address the resulting problem. I will try to do better in the future!

[@achdigitalphotography711]

I like the pants you are wearing, they look great for work, can you share the brand?

[@PeterMakholm]

Yes, they are the best... stretchy and super comfy... Fjällräven keb G-1000

[@187jcarr]

Great Video! What is the brand of the shoes you wear? I'd like to check those out. I think it will definitely help me walking with the gimbal.

[@GLENISgotastorytotell]

did you ever get an answer?

[@187jcarr]

@@GLENISgotastorytotellThey're On Shoes. I got a pair of them and they're very comfortable.

[@joyoffilming9500]

You are so right with 'Practice, practice, practice!' Assuming a well balanced gimbal, it's really about getting the feeling and muscle memory. Your tutorials on gimbals are awesome - that's why I would call you 'Dr. Gimbal' here in YT.

[@andreasbulowhansen9413]

Det er altså nogle fede videoer du laver. Keep up the good work!

[@PeterMakholm]

Hej Andreas. Tak, Der er super fedt af høre.

[@rosyaugust7095]

Peter! You are great teacher in Gimbal so far I know. Awesome and as always love your videos

[@PeterMakholm]

Thanks Rosy...

[@Micah-Woods]

Great tips to avoid and keep in mind!

[@PeterMakholm]

Yes, it is the small things that can make a huge difference.

[@schwartzbrothersmedia]

Is the gimbal even on in the last shot of your intro?

[@PeterMakholm]

Yes it is. But you are right... it look a bit strange.

[@joet9451]

I’d like a link to those shoes! Dope!!

[@AxelGizmo]

Google “on shoes”. Over the years, I bought ten. Tip: start with the base model “Cloud”. Not dirt cheap, but worth every cent.

[@MisterMotel]

nice shirt! ;)

[@pf4773]

Hi, Peter, Here's my question: I have a sony a6600 and just got the crane m3. The sony a6600 has a basic IBIS. A Sony rep two days ago told me to TURN OFF the Sony A6600's internal IBIS when using the gimbal. He said this is his general recommendation for at least Sony cameras---because according to him, the camera's IBIS will interfere with the gimbal's balance mechanisms. Is this the case? Thanks, Peter, for your gimbal tips.

[@Nerampokku101]

I don't have gimbal or good camera and i am trying to buy by saving money...i hope i can use techniques after i bought a gimbal

[@owenacevedolara8850]

Do you recommend turning off the steadyshot when using the Ronin? When I use it with steady shoot on I feel like when I do parallax moves, it does some weird little jumps with the A1 and A7siii

[@fatar9075]

Great video & tips. One question. Are you able to share with us the brand/type of shoes that you use. It sounds like you think the choice is very important and I would imagine you have put a lot of work into selecting the right pair. Can you share with us exactly what shoes you find best for gimbal work? Thanks!

[@martyrgraff8498]

not one to do this but you are a pro and the shots look great but either get a sturdier table or stop leaning on it. good thing you have that camera on a gimbal! haha Thank you for the video!

[@AdamCornfordMusic]

Great Video, thank you. I'm using a Zhiyun Crane M2. Do you know the best mode to use for walking / moving? Should the gimbal be free to move around on all motors, I'm getting slight camera shake if its on pan fade etc.

[@paulnbrenda358]

I use a Bmpcc6k and it’s heavy Use a marching band flag pole belt Rest the trip pod stand inside sometimes when walking and other when there is no place to set down the gimbal

[@malcolmdelacruz9953]

If you were in marching band walking with a gimbal is second nature, heel, arch, ball, toe!

[@kudobeats]

Hi mate, can you tell me what hdmi cable is good for a gimbal? I see you have a nice thin and short one and I was wondering what is the length if you dont mind helping? Thank you, liked and subbed!

[@benmagnus0858]

I would wear my running shoes when I am filming with my gimbal, but it's just too cold outside for them at the moment.

[@harsha64]

Can I use Ronin SC for sony a6300 ??

[@PeterMakholm]

Yes you can.

[@Zommi]

Hi Peter, I have a question related to the extra handle grip we can see in this video, I was looking for an extra handle that also had a cold shoe to mount an external monitor, and this seems to be it. Id be intending of using it with a Ronin SC + a FeelWorld T7 7" monitor, and the question I had was if you knew if it would have enough clearance to mount that 7" monitor so it doesn't touch the gimbal on its sides nor the pan axis (I saw your video on the handle but as it was used with the Weebill S it doesn't really help answer my question :c), thank you!

[@5300300a]

Helo! h r u bro hope are you fine bro my ronin sc2 using time pan moter thiriling problem plzz help me

Thanks again Pete. love your content.

Apreciate your support.

[@thomlubat1011]

thank you so much,,this video is really helpful....

[@firesmaug3214]

I forgot the steadyshot option on when I used my Sony a73 on Ronin S, so is it a problem? I know that isn't the best thing to do and I don't do it often but I forget it sometimes

[@Meshaun]

Awesome video Peter. Thanks.

[@PeterMakholm]

You are welcome mate.

[@visualdiamondstudios]

thanks for your videos they have been very helpful

[@cinematicstuff5964]

Thank you!! Very good to points, especially about the fact that repeated movements like that will 100% hurt your body in the long run. Great video.

Great video and tips as always 👏👏

Thanks. Highly appreciated.

Thanks so much, I will try this walking style ☺

[@fewo00]

We talking about practice..

[@aperturetrail]

Should we switch off steady shot in Sony cameras (including active) when on gimbal? What's your general experience?

[@cosmic0076]

I'd like to know this too
