This video came in timely. Just purchased a Gimbal a while ago and I actually struggle a lot to get smooth shots. So this was definitely helpful. Thanks!

[@PeterMakholm]

Thanks, I hope you will succeed with it.

[@xochilgarcia232]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PRODUCING CONTENT THAT OTHERS DONT EXPLAIN TO YOU. TRIED THIS OUT AND MADE MY FOOTAGE 10X MORE SMOOTH. I KNEW FROM THE START THE NINJA WALK WAS DEFINITELY NOT HEALTHY FOR THE BODY.

[@joyoffilming9500]

Probably, the most valuable gimbal video ever! Aweseome tipps & tricks that dress exactly some of my weaknesses!

[@steveloudon7491]

So glad I saw this. I see so many youtubers suggesting the "ninja walk" bent over with knees flexed. This will ruin your back. Love the tip about moving too slow. Keep up the good work.

[@PeterMakholm]

Thanks mate. It breaks my heart every time I see the bend over walk.

[@frankhu8692]

lower the center of gravity improves stability, this is middle school physics, worries about back, thats why we have easyrig

[@chesterchualpc]

@@PeterMakholmGreat video but how can we shoot a subject when its close to the ground? Ninja walk still solves that problem I guess.

[@maumor2]

GREAT ADVICE. Add an extra grip even to the most basic gimbals and you will see a huge difference, I bought a dirt cheap hohem for my father in law (at 81 he still shooting video (and doing post) but the shakiness was getting bad) he added a 90° angled grip now he held the thing like a Sten sub machine gun form WWII and it work wonders

[@AByallo]

all of these are super helpful. doing all my crash-courses before buying my first gimbal. thanks!

[@kennydoan7997]

Great explanations and straight to the point. Thanks for this, Peter.

[@groundbreakerexplore]

This tutorial will help me a lot. I've been doing a lot of mistakes and I don't know why. Now I know now. Thanks brother

[@paulconnolly2859]

Great advice :) I walk with a straight back slightly bent legs and roll the heel to toe like this. I find that improving your physical strength and ability has a major role in achieving the best footage possible. I held weights and practiced similar movements that id be doing with the gimbal. I can now walk about roughly 9hrs constant give or take.

[@PeterMakholm]

What a genius way of practicing physics🤩👊

[@cornelisvanderbent8569]

When walking like a ballet dancer, stretching out your legs and letting your toes touch the ground first, results in a very stable torso while walking up right. Use flexible/'barefoot' shoes to make this easy. I've had classical ballet lessons a long time ago and 'invented' this way of outside walking. Because feet are flexible, this also eliminates higher frequency vibrations in your spinal column. After some practice, in case you need it, to me this feels like a very natural & smooth way of walking.

[@timclayton8214]

New to all of this, thanks for the sensible and clear advice.

[@MarkaveliRises]

Thanks from Australia, mate. This vid is worth watching a few times over. Best wishes to u and all creators out there 🎬📹🦋. -m.🇦🇺

THANK YOU for making me NOT LOOK like an IDIOT anymore! That heel-2-toe method is definitely SO MUCH BETTER on my back and knees! And it results very smooth as well.

[@masoudjobs194]

thank you very much🙌🙌

[@amusement420]

These are helpful tips. Reminds me of golf instruction. 2:12 The Girp (Grip) ; ) I thought that was going to be an acronym for a special technique. I always type 'from' as 'form'

[@Phototravellers]

Thank you so much for the video :-)

[@mikeozcnl]

lve your videos brother keep the good work up !

[@lonceyscairns33]

Cheers so much so basically throw all that we've been taught previously out the window 😂 I reckon it will be easier for me if i hold the angled handle Love it so unexpected 😊❤

[@MartinV.]

Great Video

[@aransiv]

O it's intrested, thanks for the tips bro!

[@FabienFeub777]

The last one is super important, I was struggling at first trying to do some smooth orbiting around something/talent, I was walking super slow, failing all the time. Then you understand you need some speed and dynamic to get real smooth movements

[@PeterMakholm]

Correct mate, by keeping the gimbal in motion it will be more steady.

[@gregoriuscks1979]

thank you!

[@Max_tales-ipog]

Thank you so much

[@dbumagin]

I will try I will try, thanks!)

[@watchspoof]

Great Tips!

[@jodizzyfilms3490]

I'm happy I came across this...the ninja walk will get you tired fast....and over 80% of KZbinrs are suggested it

[@A-SRC]

Thanks for the video. I'm still not sure which is better, Briefcase Handle or Dual Grip. I used the Zhiyun Crane Plus for several years and the first thing I bought for it was the Dual Grip. It was very comfortable, but I have to admit, my back didn't thank me. Now I've bought a DJI RS3 and it's suggested that I use the Briefcase Handle. To be honest, the first thing I did was install the Dual Grip from Zhiyun, however I gave the Briefcase Handle a chance as well. I have to say that I have less back pain with it, but it still takes a long time to get used to it. In some situations it is much easier to work with it, for example for shooting from below if you don't want or don't have time to turn the gimbal upside down. One thing I don't understand in the video is that you have both grips installed. In terms of weight this is a no-go, especially if you have a bunch of other accessories installed and every gram counts. Also, the option to slow down the video is not suitable for all kinds of scenes, say if it's a conversational scene

[@Realasadonut]

Excellent 😮video

[@tc9568]

Thanks for the help. I wish I would have known this before I messed up my back lol

[@innstikk]

Stellar content! 👌

[@PeterMakholm]

Thnks for the dope comment.

2:42 WOW what a nice touch in the cut, well done

[@jimcano3998]

Will try this. Been doing these mistakes 😂 thanks!

Editing makes all the difference when someone with passion does it.

thanks

[@keithmizzi6754]

I really enjoy watching your videos. I own a Weebill s which I really like, lately sometimes it's taking long to turn on and off but mostly to turn it on. It's on the latest firmware version. Anything I can do about it please?

[@paewandBarzan]

make a video on camera sttinge thank you for teaching video ❤

[@timclayton8214]

I am getting a Hohem M6 for smartphone and the mini tripod can be used as a side arm too. Will try that.

[@Homemade_food_UA]

Cool

[@fatar9075]

Great Video. Very helpful. This may sound like an offbeat question. But, considering your advice regarding heel - toe gimbal walking, are there any types of shoes that are better to wear when doing gimbal work?

[@xTw1sTeDK1LLAx]

I see alot more people going with the no shoe method. I haven't tried it myself but they could be on to something.

[@orelbitan]

Hi, great tips! The thing I'm struggling with is actually filming handheld with an upper handle, the footage is not that shaky with the ninja walk but the camera is not straight, it is moving from right to left, left to right as I walk. Do you have a tip for that?

[@7th_tree_images]

If you haven’t done it already, try adjusting your deadband settings so the pan is a bit more stiff.

[@user-tu2gr8vm5v]

Fantastic advice. Useful and precise. May I ask what gimbal brand you are using. I need to purchase on similar very soon.

[@shacharperl5217]

Hi Peter. Love your channel since you started it, I think I was one of your first subscribers and I hope you get much more. I would love if you could make two videos. How to set your settings on the Weebil S. I sometime use differnt camers and lenses (FF and crop) and the settings are very different , but how do I know if my settings are right? the second movie is how to move your gimbel and body. when you want to do an orbit or a slider or slider with a little pan movement. Thanks again for everything you do!

[@PeterMakholm]

Hi, love to hear that you have been here form the get go. It is two great topics for videos. 👊

[@xTw1sTeDK1LLAx]

@@PeterMakholm I agree with Schachar. A video on orbiting and panning while moving would be incredibly helpful!

[@alexlenin7406]

By the way, 3rd tip (from preview picture) doesn't work properly on weebill S - it's impossible to control panning than! Very annoying controlling decision from Zhiyun! How would you suggest to solve it?

[@allmono7883]

Hello, thank you very much for your instructions. I want to ask you about the right side handle, what brand or reference is it? Thank you really for all your videos. Greetings from Bogotá - Colombia.

[@AhsanZafar]

always thought something is wrong with ninja walk! i thought i was the problem! i find ninja walk always more shaky and puts extra strain on legs and back and tires you faster. greats tips

[@PeterMakholm]

Yes, and you will likely get injuries and it is impossible to work for longer periods with the ninja walk

[@refanbanzhang]

@@PeterMakholm yes!

[@n_vb_duy.0306]

The match cut in 2:45 is nice :)

[@paolo-barbuto]

Hi ! Great advices ! I used a Ronin S and always does a great job ! No ninja with Ronin 😀

[@RestRelaxation-dq5ev]

I always use the high framerate technique and just walk quicker and conform my clips in post unless I can't have anything appear to be in slow mo, such as talking.
