Top 5 Gimbal moves that will get you hired!

[@thechrishau]

What movements did I miss? Throw some dope suggestions below :)

[@SethPay]

UH, THE SLO-MO HAIR DROP, MAN!

[@TheNonsenseAdventures]

The "oh shit I panned wrong" clip!

[@MarkSmyth]

The Whip and Nay Nay

[@matthewmucha4221]

Too much movement, I mean shoulder wiggle haha

[@BRP42]

Chris Hau Hair down... but you knew this-that’s why you left it down for the vlog! ;). What about a spin in place shot? Rotation about a central place can be cool, especially outside or inside an interesting building.

[@PaulNewfield-PasadenaCAU-wb4xg]

@ 3:50, the reason why walking backwards gives you a smoother shot is because walking backwards force’s you to walk on your toes! Walking and running on your toes greatly reduces the bobbing effect that some get when walking forward. This was a baseball technique for outfielders to keep our head steady when running so fly balls don’t bounce around in our vision! The key to eliminating camera movements when walking or running is to never let your heels touch the ground!

[@FBHDTech]

Am I the only one who is not really able to afford a gimbal but still watched the whole video?

[@petrub27]

FBHD Tech pretty much, yeah

[@samdyllon]

I don’t even need one (yet/at all), but I still watched the whole video 😂

[@5thElementDFW]

I see a few, here and there, on Facebook Marketplace and I'm like "Do you offer financing?" lol

[@arvizaslt]

save money a little every month and you will get it in 1 year period.

[@DanielLandsverk0]

Can't afford it, and I'm still using my old DSLR from 2012. Still watched the whole video :)

[@stryderyu]

Pette,Matti, Chris, Daniel and Lizzie are the Canadian TEAM !!!! you inspired me..

[@AronBagel]

3:50 the reason why walking backwards tends to be more smooth is because when you move backwards, your step starts at the toes and slowly and steadily progresses onto the ball of the foot and finishes at the heels, whereas if you move forwards, often you'll begin your step by hitting the ground with your heels and then moving onto the ball of your foot and then your toes. This initial impact of your heels hitting the ground will produce some shake across your entire body, and even with the best gimbals, it will still show! If you don't believe me, try kicking the ground with the front of your foot, and then with your heel. Odds are you'll feel the impact from a heel kick throughout your entire body, whereas kicking it with the front of your feet won't go much farther than your knees! Okay that's all! Great vid Chris!

[@ProducedByFMB]

he is doing the moon walk :D

[@thechrishau]

Booooom! All the Info

[@alexmeier19]

1. that's true. I'm glad I'm into ballroom dancing, because we practice "gliding" over the floor a lot. It helps me a lot. 2. I still like the Steadycams over gimbals just because of these bumps 🤔

[@rememberthisfacebaby]

To walk smoother going forward try walking by putting your toe down first then heel. It feels weird at first but it is noticeably smoother. Its a trick used in marching bands so you get less bounce in your walk.

[@tazfrase7045]

AronBagel well this kind of blew my mind 😂

[@DoctorFashion]

Just got me a gimbal .. learning new things . Thanks for the awesome video

[@MariafromthePhilippineIslands]

Very direct, straight to the point, bullet by bullet discussion of diff topics. It is so educational and entertaining. The instructions are so detailed and simplified. Even a non-pro can go along. Thank you for sharing...💞💞

[@larbueno]

Tthanks for this helpful vid. I started in the video biz at age 34 and am now exactly twice that age. I'm not quite as nimble now, but I know my new hip in early 2021 will help me keep a better level forward movement on those low gimbal shots! You do a very good job of not doing the up/down bobbing many gimbalers have on YT vids. Merry Christmas 2020...and good-effing-bye, 2020!!!

[@iRecordOS]

ZigsVision I just bought a crane 2 now im binge watching pro-tips. $549 but man i had alot of shake beforehand on my canon m50. Now its buttery smooth, i must add when purchasing a gimbal first thing you should do is slow the pan speed settings down but after you do that it looks super-cinematic. the joystick pan takes some getting used to its like using a shallow nintendo N64 wiggly button. Its all rather large in person, the carry case is a must. Im not a fan of the manfrotto plate setup but its the industry standard. You have to hit a button and untwist a knob to remove it from the gimbal, then you have to then find a coin or similar and untwist the plate from the camera itself. Most cameras that need a gimbal have bottom mounted batteries so theres that. Sometimes i miss handheld "freehand" so i usually switch it up for a nice combination. If you want clients they pretty much expect gimbal looking footage. I also have the NEEWER $50 mechanical gimbal and it was a headache to work with. But ownership is definitely a learning curve. It has paramters that need to be calibrated for optimal efficiency, Consistently re-balancing the payload. BTW balancing it is just ensuring your camera is level by adjusting the position of the 3 arms 1 by 1 and manually tightening them. Hope i didnt miss anything. O the app is funny you actually pull up your phone camera in the app not the mounted and connected dslr/ mirrorless camera attached to your gimbal,. I assume it tries to match positions by the image you select on your phone. weird i know but effective. i mount my phone to my camera hot shoe and select tracking targets that way. i thought it was not working correctly until i did my research. Its worth the investment, but only when your serious and you know why you need it Pro-tip on the m50 is turn the servo mode off because the canon m50 will try to autofocus all the time and it makes using it complicated because it will change focus on you. If you need to change focus after you set your initial focus you can either tap the screen or on my gimbal it has a knob that allows me to slowly dial it in. It works amazing on the m50! fully featured! But hey if you find this informative . subscribe to my channel im thinking of doing informational vids, i just recently shot my first music video with the m50. It was without the crane 2 and it was super shaky, i found alot of flaws that only i noticed that i am working against now. On the gimbal im able to use 4k on non servo makes the contrast based autofocus system worthwhile. I also use that 50mm 1.8 its a must have. the amount of light it pulls in low light situations is worth the 50 bucks. Considering a speed-booster, i hear good and bad things about them. I want it because it can pull a whole 2 stops of extra light meaning turning a kit lens into a decent lens. like being able to go from aperature 3.5 to a low 2 something. Amazing stuff in theory. And it makes it more close to full frame. 50mm=55ish instead of 50=85mm ish.

[@manuelayala2344]

This is my first time watching you, and you are the most happiest/bubbleiest dude I have ever seen- Keep up the good attitude!

[@cannersmovie]

When using the parallax effect or orbital shot as you call it,, are you simply walking around the subject or are you using the joystick to keep it centered or panning by turning your wrist on the gimbal to keep the subject in frame? Thanks!

[@philippblank]

Great content mate. Your videos are probably my favorite in terms of educational and business value. 9 Minutes feel like 3. Learned a ton. Easy to understand and consume. Just a big winner in total. keep it up

[@cjpakito]

I love this tutorial. pretty helpful. I'm a starter in this and literally don't have the required yet. what tips can you give me for basics?

[@wanttogoplaces]

Nice informative video. Hey question. How do you focus when you get close and away to you subject? Manual?

[@dionys777]

I don't know how you don't have a bigger audience. These tips are A1. Keep them coming!

[@JamesClark1991]

IBIS on or off when using a gimbal?

[@doncaudle6245]

I am brand new to video, I have been a still photographer for many yrs, but changing formats to be more creative, and I love straight to the point videos without alot of useless intro fluff. subscribed and can't to watch and learn more.

[@TheSimon34]

are there cheaper ways to getting the same results please love the videos.. i have a hcx1000 video camera and tripod

[@B.Bogdan]

Hi Chris, I'm having trouble doing a full roll. The only mode in which the joystick controls roll is in F mode, but when using the Joystick left/right, it only rotates by around 90 deg, then the camera starts slanting and the roll stops. I also have the Crane 3 Lab. @05:25

[@B.Bogdan]

Found it! It can be done in V (vertical) mode, double click on POV.

[@vasilisman78]

Great video! What is your favourite mm focal length 24,35,50 when using qimbal?

[@emngee]

Just got our DJI RS2 gimbal. Going to try try these tips and moves now! Thanks for the video.

[@TechOttawa]

Great info, examples and presentation. My first Gimbal arrived 2 days ago and I am already trying these shots! So many tricks and tips to pickup. Thanks

[@d.o.m.e.n.i.c.o_d.e.n.t.i.c.e]

if you had to choose, what lens would you pick to shoot videos on a ronin sc if you only had a sony 12-24mm, sony 90mm macro and a sony 50mm? with a sony a7 III thanks!!

[@xquisite22]

The world needs more people like you bro !

[@DanWeinel]

Ya know, Chris, it's the subtle things about your videos that I like. The fact that your two doorways are contrasting colors makes me happy inside. lol

[@thechrishau]

;) cinematic coloursssss

[@zaymax_7]

Chris in 2019: We work for companies like Corona- People in 2019: Me in 2020: Companies like what?

[@omarjug]

So much fun inside the video.. good job

[@amolkeer]

For 4:43 did you get the camera upside down, with a long handle gimbals cannot get that low id guess :)

[@NONE2NONE]

How would the Gimbal use a zoom motor? If the lens is zooming in, wouldn't the extension of the lens cause the gimbal to fall out of balance?

[@werkwurkproductions5760]

I've got the DJI Ronin-S which basically does everything this one does BUT it gets so freaking heavy with the way you have to carry it in extended amount of time! How does this one feel with that angled handle as opposed to a "stick handle" that the Ronin-S basically has? I'd change my gimbal in a heartbeat if this could improve the carrying feel!

[@CadanPalfreeman]

WerkWurk Productions Does look a lot easier to hold this one and a bit more stable I think

[@EmmadMunif]

Love it Chris! Great video.

[@TheNonsenseAdventures]

Some great tips. Going to head out with Mrs and gimbal (well and the camera) after we are done snowboarding for today, and give them a shot.

[@thechrishau]

Wadger Catcher gives those shots a shot?? :) also snowboarding bring me

[@TheNonsenseAdventures]

@@thechrishau yeah give the shots a shot!!! I'll send you an Instagram dm with my view from the balcony!!

[@superbikeanonymous3132]

the first move helps the more you have in the bg and if you start low and raise to eye level as you walk around the subject.

[@WorldAquariumSingapore]

thanks i just got my new gimbal very good pro tips there, anyone using them as well?

[@rizacortez1891]

What gimbal mode do you use in orbiting subject move tnx.

[@carlosninavlog]

Just awesome as usual.

[@haveyoumetjaiden]

how much is that gimbal setup? I think the focus and f stop rings are a great touch an allow you to capture some incredible shots you couldn't normally get.

[@groundbreakerexplore]

Thank you for this tutorial. Very helpful. Stay safe.

[@edi18912]

What are the best shoes for the ninja walk?

[@luiscruz5082]

This video is so awesome! I wish I had more teach like Chris during my school years.

[@JoshHooper]

Very useful. But the link to the gimbal and the gimbal package ends up on an Amazon page that says that it's unavailable. Maybe it's been upgraded. If so, could you update the link, please.

[@emmigrullon2141]

Can you use an iPhone to shoot with it rather than a DSLR camera?

[@FacetheMuzikEntertainment]

Do you recommend movements for moza air 2?

[@flowyscreations]

Great video Chris. As a newbie I wished if you had also mentioned the mode that the gimbal was in for each shot.

[@mylhainen]

Excellent tips, thanks!

[@viewfinderthis]

Definitely love how Zhiyun put that handle on the crane 3.

[@nestormanuel]

I love my crane 3! Thanks for this video😀

[@ghostbehindthelens9882]

awesome video again! quick question - were you out of focus for most of the video or are my eyes messing with me

[@jnsfocuz]

Hate to ask this . But where did you bought the leather couch. Please suggest. It’s amazing !! Thank you in advance and I am a follower as well.

[@seanregan3256]

I noticed walking backwards is smoother because you naturally walk toe to heal, which reduces the up and down motion. Most people don't walk heal to toe when walking forward.

[@artistandcamera3245]

Any thoughts on the Moza Aircross?

[@josetphoto]

Ccould you do a video on how to focus and zoom with this gimbal and also how to focus with pull in and out shots and other ways to focus with video...I'm new in video and I got a Nikon D850... Could I do good videos with that?

[@mikevisuals]

Ayeee Chris back with the heat

[@KardosoMedia]

Nice Chris! Great shots

[@aureliapriester7172]

Ideal for frof.thanks for giving us hints.

[@bealegata7085]

love the soft lighting and background

[@JohnGrogans]

Awesome video Chris👍🏼

[@josefcajthaml2753]

Do you have DJI S, also ? Could you make a video about that too ? Pretty please

[@NimTV]

Probably won’t get a gimbal for quite awhile but when I do I will definitely use these tips

[@WyvernApalis]

If you walk in reverse, the tip of your feet touch the ground first and you get better suspension, whereas going forward your heels touch first and no matter how much you try, it's not gonna be as steady. Get softer shoes to make it better or use a hoverboard when available (or get a z axis suspension)

[@WyvernApalis]

Wait, crane shot on a zhiyun crane, pun intended?

[@WyvernApalis]

Also, DO NOT pay attention to how the shot is taken when you're in the cinema for the first time for a movie (do it the second time or at home) I can't break out of the habit now and it ruins the film watching experience :( Just do it at home guys 🤣

[@MyUSA789]

Very nice video shot thank you for sharing I’m still learning

[@davehughes9433]

subbed THANK God Zhiyun made the 3 and the 2 2.0 v2 v2.0 stuff is all in the past 4,5, 6, 7. 8 is the way to go

[@paulw.4834]

Thanks for sharing the tips.

[@lordace8806]

Hey Chris what gimbal did you start with ?

[@588ta]

Thanks for the video just bought my first gimble.!

[@JackyNguyen06]

Thanks Chris. Nice tips. You are one of the best 😘

[@thechrishau]

Jacky Nguyen :)

[@Hawbesh1]

Can you make a video Crane 3 vs DJI Ronin S

[@XTJ7]

Cool tips and nice video, but it really put me off that your eyes were very frequently slightly out of focus. Is it because the video AF on the A9 is just not that good? Never saw that with any Dual AF based camera like the 1DX II.

[@kaloyantsilev]

Love your videos!

[@KollideMedia]

thanks awesome tipps... an interesting video would be comparing cons and pro between glidecam and gimbles

[@DavidLindgren89]

vision - spoken truth Great idea! And differences between different gimbals! 👍

[@JonJagsNee]

Excellent content as per uuusual :D Out of curiousity; any chance you might do a color grading tutorial with the a9? Camera settings and post processing would be super dank helpful 10/10!

[@thechrishau]

Jags you got it! I’ll mention that in future videos :)

[@davidsteege4119]

What song plays at the beginning of the video? It's great!

[@eustoliahidalgo]

The slow motion effects in the videos are done when u edit ?

[@LouieFlips]

Yes it is.

[@airbornesuper]

Super cool I can do this in my lg wing. Thank you for the tip🤙🏽

[@BomJimmy]

By zoom in / zoom out, won't the balance will shift heavily ( on any gimble model)? or the motor will compensate with extra load?

[@AZKidsDaily]

Very good content, clear and direct.

[@eduardocortes-dv4lo]

I Wonder if should I go Moza2air, Ronin S , or this one? I use the D810

[@benps2432]

I can't stop watching ur great tips..

[@samanthamuench5101]

Cannot wait to get a gimbal ... in 2 years haha dope tips thanks 🙏

[@thechrishau]

Samantha Muench takes time to build up the kit!

[@musabinho]

Amazing video, thanks mate 👏

[@cryptoMississippi]

GOOD TIPS..GOT TO USE THESE👍💯🔥

[@JesseDriftwood]

The design of this gimbal is so sick. I want to film so many skate videos with it.

[@thechrishau]

Right???

[@JayN9neSLPKT]

Great tips man! Thanks for the video!

[@ELFinchy]

Good video, did you use auto focus for that?

[@TeipelFilms]

Great video! I think that electronic gimbals can really step up your work as a videographer A LOT. Many people say the would rather go with the "good old steadycam"... However, a lot of the shots that you suggested here cannot be done good enough (or not at all) with a steadycam! Especially for travel filmmakers the variety of shots and angles that you can get with these things clearly make your work look more interesting.

[@kaynun1074]

Grateful for you guys!

[@Dethaun]

I love filming with my gimbal but a heads up, it can get pretty heavy

[@thechrishau]

Nate Richards yup!! This one is lighter than my previous one

[@DonSaeKang]

These are great tips, Chris!

[@EduarFilms]

I still cannot nail correctly the parallax effect when using the gimbal, always feel the motor of the gimbal stops the smooth motion, it was easier to do it with a Glidecam but that one had other issues to keep the damn thing steady

[@TriniWeekes]

Great video Chris enjoyed this video. I have decided to subscribed to your channel

[@nelloantia]

How much is this gimbal

[@sowedidsomething]

i know that bridge! love this- thanksss

[@mohamedfarah970]

Your awesome bro, new subscriber thumbs up 👍! Can I use this gimbal on the Canon m50 ?

[@Wariki]

That intro B-Roll Gimbal moves though! Great tips for the video Chris!

[@thechrishau]

Seiyoshin all about the zoom!

[@AMLFilms]

Thank you for the awesome tips

[@Nr1oe]

شكرا لك على هذا الفيديو المفيد والرائع

You’re the best! Love your content and been here for a long ass time!! Hair down it’s wavy haha

[@suhailadam]

Can we talk about the podcast real quick? The trailer sounded so crisp! Can't wait till it drops!

[@thechrishau]

Suhail Adam thank you!!! First episode next week.

[@shawn-walls]

Nice side note about using the larger lens for the parallax orbit!

[@thechrishau]

Shawn Walls I want people to be crushing

[@creativethinkerschannel9938]

Great video Chris Thank you for all the valuable information!!
