Thanks again Sean, your help has made my content so much better over the years. You're a Legend!

[@btceatsfiat6641]

Epic stuff bro! Love your work!

[@lalchimiste501]

Yes, I agree with your point of having a top handle. It gives access to interesting angles of views. Specialy with an Ultra Wide Angle, beeing close to the floor allows interesting compositions. Just one point, I’ve chosen a top handle equiped with a start/stop button. It’s more convenient.

[@Andi_Wing]

Lots of great tips for a beginner like me. Thank you 😊

[@swisssights]

Thank you for sharing 👍👍👍

[@seankitching]

Pleasure! Thank you for watching!

[@dag221]

Great tips in shooting handheld. The exampls of what fonts to never use in videos was a nice added bonus.

[@seankitching]

Haha fair enough but I like them. Likely going to keep using them ;)

[@adambentata2717]

Happy to help!

[@shawnfoodfever]

thanks for sharing😍😍👍👍

[@seankitching]

Thanks for visiting

[@RealMartinz]

Thank you for this, btw if your camera has battery grip attachment, it also helps a lot with the weight and you don't need to change batteries as often

[@seankitching]

Ah yeah good idea too!

[@WhySteve]

When I was small I was shining a laser pointer into a neighbors window and they were screaming and shouting all night out the window, threatening to shoot me. It was hilarious. Anyways, I love shooting handheld, so I rigged out my camera cage with external batteries for added weight and it works well. on TIP 4, I tend to literally fall after leaning for that last second of "smoothness" when shooting slow mo. 😅

[@Blanch04]

🔥🔥🔥

[@HeavyFred1]

What film burn transitions are you using? Are they from motionvfx?

[@ThatFeeling24]

I’m surprised you haven’t mentioned side handles. I find them more useful than a top handle in any handheld situation. Except maybe for low angles.

[@NINETY-97-SEVEN]

Man.. will deginitely try this. I have a zv-e1 with smallrig cage & top handle but my footage always is jittery conpared to what I see from other people.. especially in 4k24 1/50 f1.8 😅😅

[@seankitching]

Ah perfect, hope it helps and you get the results you are after.

[@ScizoYT]

Suspension Legs works for me

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Yes Mr. Miyagi 6:42 "Not Matter Who's Stronger. Matter Who's Smoother!"

[@seankitching]

Haha too true ;)

So under rated Hope u reach 10 mil subscriber

[@seankitching]

Thank you so much! I am happy with my community already so anything is a bonus :)

[@DigiDriftZone]

What about shutter speed? 180 degree rule can ruin certain types of handheld footage and make it impossible to stabilise in post.

[@ErasmoOliveiraFreeGamesbacco]

Please release the subtitles in Portuguese, thank you!

[@seankitchingslife]

When is your favourite time to shoot handheld?

[@caseybryantjones]

First comment 🤙

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

man oh man,...16 likes already before I got here. Doesn't pay to be late.....all the pizza is gone and somebody tipped over the guacamole dip. Great video!

[@seankitching]

Nooo not the Guac!

[@Sweetnuglyproductions]

Or just buy a lumix camera

[@seankitching]

if all you want is better ibis then maybe

[@Sweetnuglyproductions]

@@seankitching it was just a joke I was being biased because I love lumix any way I really enjoyed the video great info I’m going to use

[@rob9386]

New lady?

[@kajusjurevicius2629]

These flashy transitions are so bad. Please don't overuse them next time...
