Zdenka must be psychic, she saw and uncovered all the mistakes I made on my previous trip to Thailand. I have to try and follow your advice in Korea next time.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

😊👍 well it is my personal experience.., I went through all these mistakes

[@PJ4Code]

I really love how you explained "practice, practice, practice," as that's what I'm doing now and what you said motivated me.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Keep it up… it will come… it’s simply doesn’t come overnight

[@jamie-leesimpson7971]

This lady rocks!!! I’ve searched so many videos on tips for using gimbals as I have no experience whatsoever, this lady out does all other tutorial videos! She seems to have a nice realistic manner about her with is not over the top and annoying like some tutorials! Keep them coming girl!!!!!! 😊

[@oscarmariita1195]

Good point especially on the switching lens.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you

[@asmanaqvi6333]

I learned most of the things I know about filmmaking from this channel only. Thank you Zdenka for your informational and entertaining videos. You make simple videos and they are on point (where there is no useless talks and every second I am learning something new). I loved the video in which you told about your struggles and that's why I am motivated to buy an Iphone 12 pro max. And the best part you answer every comment. I like your videos more than that of Peter McKinnon and Matti Hapooja. This literally is the best channel to learn filmmaking. The other channel which is underrated but super informational is Benett Graezer. Please make videos on shooting commercials and product phtography with a smart phone.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are very welcome.... best of luck

[@markstevens6682]

Lol… When you stated that many of your shots were bad because you were rushed I thought, how true! I always tell my students/guests that the most important thing they can bring on a photo shoot/trip is Patients…… The 3 most important things for great photography is the 3 P’s, PREPARATION, PLANNING, and PATIENCE!

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Love it…. 3P. Exactly to the point. Unfortunately none of the students will understand until they do it for a while… 😂

[@jezzter4293]

I've been an amateur motorsport photographer for years, but playing with my new DJI OM4 that I received yesterday is fun but frustrating. Zdenka thank you for highlighting exactly what I am doing wrong! Brilliant :-) Best lesson of all SLOW DOWN :-) Thanks

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are very welcome…. Best wishes

[@ElaRudniak]

As a city guide, I’m relatively new to the live streaming area. I enjoy streaming but can see how much I need to practise to get there using a gimbal, particularly when I also need to focus on the guiding part at the same time! This tutorial is about me and the things I do wrong 😂 but at the same time it’s quite reassuring, and informative as ever. Really appreciate your guidance, Zdenka!

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are very welcome

[@dominikblaha1025]

You are such a lovely person, not only I am being informed in such professional and practical way but I also feel like I am visiting aunt I've never had. Like, I could just sit with coffee and cookies and talk life with You all day Zdenka. Thank you 😍 Greetings from Czechia!

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Děkuji Dominiku… jsem rada ze mas tento pocit. Zdravím do Čech !!!

Huge thanks! Very useful video. I have bought my first gimbal about half a year ago but haven’t used it outdoors because I’m not used it yet. It feels it’s spinning around in a haphazard way. 😃

Zdenka, you are so amazing!! Took my Gimbal out of the box, got it setup, and went off shooting what I thought would be Cinematic videos (boy was I wrong). So I put it away, and it’s been 2 months since I touched it, contemplating returning my defective Gimbal. I now know the Gimbal is a tool that needs much practice and with YOU, I know have hope and the desire to master the art. Thank you, and whatever you do for a living, please STOP!! Focus on only your KZbin Channel as we need much more content like this. You are simply AWESOME!!!!!!!

Always informative. You make it look so simple but there is a learning curve. Take the time folks it really does pay off in the end. Also shoot short scenes at first. Just to see the mistakes. Don't just jump into an epic movie. Slow and steady will win the day.

the best tutorial I've ever seen. Explained in a completely understandable way, I will now find the courage to learn all the modes for my new Hohem Isteady M6. Yesterday I filmed a football game - and it was like you said - I recorded everything but not the game 🤣 Thanks so much, Zdenka 😘

[@jimprior180762]

Hi Zdenka, a beginner question about taking calls on your smartphone. In preparation for a shooting session, do you:- 1) Set your phone to Flight-mode to prevent calls coming through? 2) Ignore the call, let it go to voicemail (although it has probably just distracted your shot anyway)? 3) Answer using Hands-free mode? 4) Have a different phone for taking calls! I guess that if a call comes through it will interrupt or mess up your take even if you don't answer it? But if Flight-mode is set, that probably prevents certain functions of the phone/gimbal from working (e.g. which might require wifi or bluetooth, actually on my S10 after setting Flight-mode I think you can turn wifi/bluetooth back on independently). How often has this sort of thing happened to you? Thanks Jim

[@jimprior180762]

Actually I think the option I've been looking for is the Do Not Disturb button! I just had to hunt around for it. Silly me!

[@ZdenkaDarula]

I’m glad you found a solution. All my friends know not to call me 😂 but send me email instead as they never know if I am recording

[@babuveerabhadraiah8057]

Great insight. Key takeaway is "Practice, Practice". Thanks Zdenka. Also, some time would like to hear your insights on filming in crowded places (how to involve the crowd/public, how to avoid them, etc., ). Thanks
