The BEST Technique for Smooth Footage Using a Gimbal

[@Exploringwithjim1818]

Thank you!! As a 65 year old launching into a new segment of my life there is so much to learn. Your video has given me many great tips to work with.

Like everybody else, I watch a lot of KZbinrs. Nathan's videos are all killer and no filler. There is so much value in his free YT videos. That being said, I've bought 3 of his video courses with no regrets. I refer to the course videos almost ever time I do editing. Even though I haven't started to do a lot of high end RE shoots yet, because I use the techniques learned from NC on the lower end properties I shoot, the agents are blown away. Thanks Nathan, keep up the good work.

Thank you! I appreciate that!

I have essential tremor, too. So did my dad, so do 2 of my 3 kids. Fun stuff! Not. But you learn to work with it. Cheers! Great video!

Thank you! I appreciate the support, and hope the best for all of you.

I've got a handheld gimbal with a Sony setup, but after practicing and still not being happy with the results, I found myself getting pretty frustrated. My arms were tired, and I was starting to think I have no upper body strength (I'm a woman who doesn't lift weights, after all). I even wondered if maybe this wasn't for me. But then I watched your video, and I love the idea of practicing with a glass of water test! I'm definitely going to try that. The way you broke everything down and pointed out what to look for to find my mistakes was so helpful. Thanks for the tips!

[@NathanCoolPhoto]

So glad this was helpful!

Hi Nathan, I so love your work! I have learnt so much from watching your videos. What settings are you using for video? The light seems very even, even when you are near a window. Keep up the great work! Thank you!

[@NathanCoolPhoto]

Thank you! It depends on the scene, not just for WB, shutter, aperture, etc., but also optimizers, which many overlook but are in all cameras. I cover that in my videography course, here's a link if you'd like to check that out: ProVideo.NathanCool.com

Thank you!

[@NathanCoolPhoto]

You're welcome!

[@bobbystefano]

Cool video Nathan! A couple of questions if you don’t mind. What camera are you using on the gimbal or the kitchen shots cause they look pretty good. I also have the Ronin Gimble are you ever using the little knob that turns the gimbal or you just using all movements with your body? Thanks!

[@NathanCoolPhoto]

Thank you! That's a GH5ii but so much relies on the lens, gimbal settings, and editing. You can get similar results with other cameras, which I cover in my videography course, here's a link if you'd like to check that out: ProVideo.NathanCool.com

How often do you find yourself slowing down your footage in post (if at all)? I'm asking because I'd like to offer video but my a7iii can record 4k 30 fps which wouldn't give me room to slow the footage down (unless I use some sort of interpolation or ai tool or record in 1080p instead). Thanks!

[@NathanCoolPhoto]

It depends on what I'm shooting. If you are restricted on 4K there are alternatives. I cover this in great detail in my videography course, here's a link if you'd like to check that out: ProVideo.NathanCool.com

The whole time I watched this video I just kept thinking of you as Mr. Miyagi asking a student to water all the plants of your garden using just a full glass, one at a time. 😂 jokes aside, amazing video !

[@coin777]

10:15 Damn. You look 40. Good job.

[@NathanCoolPhoto]

Thank you!

What are your thoughts on doing video with an iPhone on a gimbal for real estate?

[@NathanCoolPhoto]

For certain cases it works, and in fact it's part of my course on videography for real estate, here's a link if you'd like to check that out: ProVideo.NathanCool.com

@ thanks!
