You are very welcome. Yes the birds are very cute, but they also are kind of annoying as they attack me all the time. They are not afraid to fly almost in my face. People are feeding them, so they are literally begging for food.

[@gruncletim]

Thank you for the very practical examples. I recently bought the Hohem iSteady M6, and was trying to get a good understanding of the differences between the various modes. Being a visual learner, your video clips showing the effect of the various modes was extremely beneficial to me. I am about to head off on my first extended vacation using the gimbal. I am excited to see the various shots I will get. Thanks again.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are very welcome. I’m glad the video helped. Have a safe trip and enjoy your vacation.

[@AlbertJanBoxma]

Once again a truly helpful video, Zdenka. I will surely be practicing this weekend.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

[@sunshine0282]

1st time about gimbal modes lol. I bought mine in mid 2021 and stopped using it cause I couldn't control it. Thank you I learn something new today. I love your love for photography.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you very much for your feedback. I’m very happy this video helped and you are returning to your gimbal. Once you get the concept, it’s going to get very very easy for you. Best wishes.

[@Airship56]

Thanks for another great video, Zdenka! I've just started using a gimbal and would love to see a video about setting up the gimbal shot - how to set the iPhone camera on the subect, selecting the gimbal mode, and then executing the shot.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are very welcome…. Thank you very much for the request… noted

[@miraclesonthecamino9610]

Thank you so much. I am a novice and I have been thinking of buying a gimbal for my iphone 11 and I was struggling to understand how I could use it to full effect. I have watched dozens of other youtube videos on this subject but they were all confusing. Now I have everything clear in my mind. Thank you very very much.

[@eyeintheskiesdavid9277]

Great video thanks for the tips always look forward to seeing your videos they are very helpful and easy to follow thanks for sharing bud really enjoyed it big like my friend 👌👍👍

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you very much for your support

[@cppguy16]

This is so helpful! Note that sometimes Pan Follow is called Tilt Lock, and PoV can be called FPV. To summarize: Lock = all axes locked. Tilt Lock = Pan Follow = pan only. Follow = follow tilt and pan, but horizon is straight. FPV = PoV = follow all axes.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Yes most gimbals use different names… once you understand how the motors work, you won’t need those names anymore 😉👍

[@shotymeh.y.f.r.3477]

Thank you. I have yet found out the modes . Thanks

Thank you Zdenka! You are doing great by the way! 👍👍👍

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are very welcome…. And thank you

[@abbymain1]

Thank you Zdenka. People often explain camera n gimbal movements but not the mode one must follow. I was a bit curious at what fps did you shoot these videos. On my google pixel 8 pro screen i was seeing some jitters especially in the inception mode one.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are very welcome… it was just in automatic mode 60fps so the jitters are there. You can avoid it by filming in manual mode

[@abbymain1]

@ZdenkaDarula Thank you and you played it back in 60 fps timeline?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Unfortunately, I don’t recall as I don’t have that gimbal anymore… investor wishes, and thank you very very much for your support

[@akalli]

So very helpful! I've made myself some cheat sheet index cards with notes from this video to carry with me until i can memorize the best modes for the shot. I have vacations coming up and I want to film some b-roll footage whenever possible. Now to figure out external lenses for my s21 ultra. Grand Canyon area coming up in September.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you very much for sharing and enjoy your trip

[@akalli]

@@ZdenkaDarula And right after I posted this comment I watched your video about not constraining yourself to using only one mode for a certain type of shot. Once I have a better understanding of mode and scenes, I will definitely experiment. :)

[@EternalArtsTex]

That is such a good idea!! I am so making some cards to remind me the mode! thank you!

Thanks for the great video! I’m using the Hohem iSteady V3 for a portrait livestream where the camera will mostly focus on my head while walking, and I’m thinking of using Pan Follow (PF) mode for that. When I switch to show the scenery or view, should I change to Pan-Tilt Follow (PTF) or POV mode? What would you recommend? Thanks!

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are very welcome… if you are filming yourself just use Ai tracking… if you film scenery it all depends on the shot you take

Very informative video, does the hohem v3 have the inception mode ?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Yes, there is a programmed mode for that

[@birminghamcloseup]

I just found your channel which is very helpful and I have subscribed. I have been filming for a long time. I usually use many gimbals. I’ve just got this Hohem v3 isteady. When I use the prism app and do a live recording using the Hohem which I have just done today using this gimbal for the first time when I finished and started editing, I noticed it was very wobbly from left to right which did not show up on my iPhone 15 whilst filming. Which mode should I be using when I am out walking around cities or towns doing a live broadcast and filming. I also have the DJI Osmo gimbal 6 SE which does not show any wobbling from left or right, what do you think is wrong?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

I honestly don’t know what it could be… it should be pan follow mode for walking around but I am not sure why you get that

[@MadMax-vy9hk]

Awesome thank you will be watching again while I have my smooth five yet I wish I could walk today my infection is still in my back I just want to get on with my life and be creative with this new hobby but my back is not allowing me to do this quote yet. 👍

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Oh no…. Back pain is always the worst. I hope it passes fast enough for you. Get well soon

[@MadMax-vy9hk]

@@ZdenkaDarula I have a thing called discitis I have had it for 12 months google it and look at the images they’re not gory they just x-rays then you’ll see what I’m talking about why I can’t walk and how much pain I’m in I have to wait till infection completely goes before my surgeon can operate first of two operations.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

[@charlieross-BRM]

Good examples. How much time did you put into learning one mode? I mean when you are out, do you stick at experimenting with one mode until you have it? Also I am not good yet at when to twist my wrist or when to turn my whole body. Some things come naturally to me but gimbals it turns out are not one of those things.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Yes you simply just need to play with it few times. The more you practice the more clarity you will get… I used to just sit and literally played with it to see how it moves

[@Carb-A-Ween]

Thanks for the great gimbal techniques! Always love learning from new people. One technique i seen was while you were walking backwards..you can walk forward and reverse the shot in editing 😉

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Yes you can reverse it if there is no motion or wind …

[@carlossaltos2947]

How did you teach the bird to get into de scene??? jejeje nice shot!!!

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Sadly, people are teaching the birds here to be more and more aggressive by feeding them from their hands. so when I show up there in the winter and nobody is around, they are literally attacking me and sometimes flying right into my lens or to my face just to get food… they are not supposed to behave like this

What mode would be best if you’re filming moving animals, like a dog on a hike for example? I have the Hohem M6. Thanks so much

[@ZdenkaDarula]

I would use tracking object feature in the app

[@uruguaydrone]

Hello Zdenka and thanks for your videos! Is it possible that the gimbal does NOT charge the cell phone in use? Thanks for your time.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you for your comment. This video is older so I am not 100% sure if this gimbal actually charges the smartphone. Some gimbals have the ability to charge the smart phone others don’t.

[@kaneohe]

Zdenka, thank you for the tutorial! Are these modes only found in the gimbal's app or can I simply use my native camera app to achieve these shot techniques? I have an old LG K40 and I'm searching for a gimbal that doesn't force me to download and use their app. Thank you.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

The latest DJI Osmo, mobile six gimbal, has the ability to use it also with native camera app. The same goes with Hohem gimbals and Zhiyun gimbals

Lovely video Zdenka, I would like to ask you a qustion , I saw that sometimes you used an extension pole with the gimbal to simularte dron shots, but how do you select the gimbal modes when they depend on keeping pressed the trigger (like in moza mini P)? Thanks in advance.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Good question…. Unfortunately some gimbals cannot be used with monopod…. As yes you cannot use those modes there

[@InspectoreFormBBC]

thank you, however, can not get locked position with gimble, keep moving other modes must be a fault with it lock mode is simple it tays loced, have this model you are using but will not stay in lock mode, tried everything?
