Shooting with a gimbal [Ep 27]
A gimbal is an excellent tool for getting steady movements. When you use a gimbal, ensure your smartphone is well-balanced on it.
5 TIPS FOR FILMING WITH A GIMBAL:
Walk slowly with your knees bent. Often it helps to walk backwards to keep your eyes on the subject and keep the subject centred in the frame.
Lock exposure and white balance as they might change a lot while walking.
Guide your gimbal with your body. Instead of twisting and turning the gimbal to get the shot, turn your body and guide the gimbal. Keep the gimbal close to your body.
Plan your shots, think about the start and stop points of your movement
Practice. It takes a bit of time to get super smooth movements, but the more you do it, the better you get and the more creative you can be.
