Beginner VS PRO Gimbal Moves 

Try these 10 Gimbal Moves: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OaYPEJxTT3Y.html

as a wise man once said, "If you don't look stupid taking pictures, you're not a photographer"

One of the most underrated uses for a Gimbal that seems like NO ONE ever talks about is literally holding your Gimbal perfectly still, focusing on your composition, and letting the movement happen in the shot. Many times this can be WAY more cinematic than Top 10 Gimbal Movements for Cinematic Filmmaking!! Your gimbal is a tool for Stability but most IMPORTANTLY, it's one of the best tools for versatility. As the operator, you don't always need to add your own movement, you can use your gimbal as a Tripod too. "Well in that case why not just use a tripod if you want no movement" because again I reiterate the versatility part. A gimbal is small, light weight, and easy to carry around. If at any moment in run and gun situations, you will have the option to reposition if needed. We shoot our weddings with gimbal all day long and use a mixture of movements and also just stable non movement shots.

Beginner vs pro should be a series!

classic explanation bro... no time west... good editing and clear voice over quality... keep rocking 💥👌🤘💫

The fact that the seagull just sat on that rock and allowed you to film him is CRAZY!

I actually like the look of focus racking from foreground to background subjects. It's not always the way to shoot reveal shots, but it's not always wrong either.

This is amazing! The gap between Beginner and Pro is huge in these shots

Terrific content on many levels: showing the right techniques, encouragement to make work that is beautiful & cinematic, and a framework to consider the "why" we're doing it. Many thanks!

Thank you for this fantastic explanation. I love how you compare side by side, and I also appreciate how you actually explain the logic behind why you should or shouldn’t do something a certain way. I feel like lots of other people just explain it like “don’t do it like this cause it just looks bad” but they don’t explain the way and break it down. Thank you for this video!

This felt like taking advice from someone who really wants you to succeed. Thank you for sharing your excellent knowledge with us! I'm looking to pick up my first gimbal (DJI RS 3 Pro) and I'm certain most of my shots would look like the beginner, but with your video, maybe not for long. haha

This was a video that I pretty much needed! I'm nowhere near the Gimbal stage of shooting, but the "beginner v pro" comparison has shown me exactly where I was going wrong! So a humongous thank you :)

you should make more videos pro vs beginner. the same intentions are there, the execution is just so so different. the beginner shots hit so close to home for me. i couldn't put a finger on what makes mine not look pro, but you did that perfectly. love this. thanks

Dear Mr Dovey, I recently got a DJI RS2 Pro. and a Panasonic GH6 upgrading my setup. I have been shooting for about a decade, but had not been out for a while. I decided to touch up as I was feeling a bit uninspired with the new gear, and your video reminded me of some basics that were missing. Adding several new gear components, and the learning curve made it less obvious what my issue was. Your video outlined EXACTLY what I had been doing with my new gimbal. I just couldn't see it, and was thinking I may be losing my touch. I could not edit away those mistakes, and your video showed the issue I was having was not just one dimensional. I will never do this long enough to be like "Nope. Nothing new left to learn or review". Thanks for the relevant, easy to digest, and informative body of work. You are a great teacher...

Gotta be open to just trying some things too. Something cross your mind like, " I wonder...If I do this...." and see how it turns out. Sometimes you'll find out it was a dud, sometimes you'll find something that really works and you can add it to your arsenal! Experimentation can sometimes strike gold. And DEFINITELY take in tips like these from someone already sitting on a mountain of gold ;)

Appreciate your tips, I just bought the DJI RSC 2 Gimbal and I can use all the help I can get. Cheers!

The lesson a took from this is that a good shot is like taste a something really delicious, you want to do it slowly just to enjoy the moment.

That reveal of the seagull with the out of focus rock in the foreground as the music rises literally gave me goosebumps.... Great job

This is incredible! I’ve been needing a tutorial like this. I need plan and find interesting things to tell a story in my videos! Thank you!

Hello from Hamburg, Germany Your tips are very informative, Thank you so much✌...

Thanks for the tips. Also make me realize how important is color grading and sound effects, with these things included, the first video can also be pretty nice. The fast rotation from the beginners video reminds me Wes anderson style, I love it haha

Was thinking of getting my 1st gimbal… want one that handles my A7S3, A7C, ZV1….. Crane M3, Weebil S? Or a DJI variant? Any advice

1. Have film depth with Foregrounding elements: when you film make sure there is something between the lens and the main subject (i.e. you film a statue in a park => film the statue with bushes or the wooden pole of a tree in front of the statue to get more film depth 1:18 - 1:30 2. Use body rotation and rotate calm,slowly but steady instead of using gimble joystick: keep the gimble close to you. 3. Film in/use multiple shots to create 1 sequence instead of filming 1 sequence with only 1 shot.and paste those multiple shots together into 1 shot. film at 1 place change to another place when transitioning to another place you stop filming until you're at the other spot then you start filming. 4. Don't always walk because when ground is oneven you're shot will be ruined just stand still and move around with the camera your body lean forward side ways you can walk when filming when the ground is even. 5. Change lens, use manual focus not automatic you have more control over your focus, switch up from gimbal to handheld 6. Change perspective: switch positions low, normal far but focus on subject, close but when moving from place 2 place you don't film when you film you stand still as point 4 already stated 7. get out of your comfortzone: think outside the box with your unique perspectives, pay attention to background to avoid random people at the background, take risks (getting dirt, water) Bonus tip: 8. Have a visual storyline before shooting don't have random cinematic shots that don't fit the story you're trying to tell: have a story first outlined then start filming.

When you watched both edits back to back, it really showed off the difference in looking for the more unique angles. Nice one Jeven 👍

I have to say I love the music in these! Thank you for some great tips!

What a difference. Great tips! Thanks! The low shots really change the scene, especially with the focus locked.

The seagull is a paid actor.

Simple tip for automatic manual focus on Sony and possibly other cameras; Use autofocus to focus, then change to manual focus. It’ll be in manual mode but already focused for you 😄

Dang.. For some reason all my shots look like the beginner! Keep the videos coming!! Everyone here I'm has learned something new or remembered something they are skipping.

Yes, you are talking about me exactly. After all the time I have used my gimbal, I make a truck load of mistakes. I am going to use the video to make sure I raise my level. Thanks

I’m such a BEGINNER….LOL…this was awesomeness!!! THANK YOU!!!

4:29 "...and with his wide lens that he doesn’t change..." 😂😂😂 you killed me with this Jeven!😝

Learned something new. Thanks! The last point is the most important for me. Also for slideshows. You should have a script. Not necessarily totally exact, but it helps if you know beforehand roughly what you can tell. It is also important to know the area where you want to film or photograph.

Best 10 minutes I've spent today - especially love the last point on storytelling - thanks!

Called out! I just used a gimbal for the first time on the trip this weekend and I was definitely using all beginner moves

That bird shot so pretty 😍

AWESOME... Watching your videos, I learned one important RULE: 'Always shoot with INTENTION.' Thanks a lot for the tips. Will be buying that DJI OM 6 soon.

I love the beginner vs pro videos thanks 😁👍

Threw a like because I know how much time this took thanks for the pointers and dynamic shot ideas your work helps a lot of people

Thanks for the useful information as always Jeven. The Beginner Vs Pro videos are always so informative. And I signed up for Wirestock!

Really awesome and helpful video! I would only say that you did really emphasise the bouncing walking and jerky movements in the "amateur" shots, whereas in the "pro" shots, you took more time to hold the gimbal stable and move more smoothly. I think that should have been a clearer tip to get at the start of the video that pros put more effort into how they hold the gimbal and walk with it. Would love to see more videos similar to this, cheers!

the beginnershot on the stairs looked kinde cool though :) like a videogame

ultra pro use shoulder as center movement to pan 😆. Great work!

It's amazing that that bird would just stay there for as long as it took to get the beginner shot and then the pro shot.

That's one patient unsuspecting seagull 😁 Great tips, thank you!

Love this. I’ve been shooting films professionally for years but as a super beginner at gimbal work this is awesome 👏🏻

Sei bravissimo, mi è piaciuto tanto la tua spiegazione di come utilizzare il gimball in maniera più professionale. Grazie mille 🙌🏼

Seagull is a paid actor. Great shots. THANKS!

The most valuable thing that I learned from this video is that I need to get a briefcase handle for my rs3.

Hi Jeven, thanks for your videos. You said that sometimes it's better to change lenses to shoot a better video, but with rs3 gimbal you will need to balance the gimbal again, what is a little boring especially when you are traveling and have a less time for shooting videos.

とても参考になりました。何度も見直して初心者から脱却したいと思います。 言葉の理解は少々ですが、映像を見てるだけでも何が伝えたいのかが分かります。 他の動画も見ていきたいと思っています。

thank you.

The seagull shot look sick af 🔥

designer vs producer. cinematography vs videography. intention vs reaction. plan vs capture

I remember back in the days before I became a travel youtuber this year, I used my iphone to shoot instagram videos. I did those cool things you did like hiding behind a leaf or object and moving my body and wrist slowly. Ever since I got my action camera, it totally became like the 'Beginner Shots' which was filmed at one go at the normal height due to the 'Walk & Talk' nature of vlogs. I am now planning to use iPhone 14Pro with a DJI Osmo gimbal. I find that it helps me to focus back on learning and creating cinematic videos. Happy to soon be back into that filming mode that makes me feel i'm transported into that special moment that makes us stop and capture the real beauty around us. Thanks for showing the combined professional clip. It was a great reminder and of a great quality. Loved how the stairs shot turn out. :) 🌿

0:56 CHAD SPOOTED💪

Thank you for the good things you share😇. I am a developing newbie. ✨✨✨✨

Wow, dude. Incredible and practical advice that’s fairly easy to implement. Thank you so much!!!

I plan on entering the photography business one day, and such camera devices will come in handy by means of cracking the industry by offering my services and time free of charge for portfolio building to real estate agents and others for a limited time.

The pro took his shoes off lol 😂 got to think outside the box, had me laughing, but nah honestly great video and I’m about to do lots of travelling so this website might be a banger to make some money

I have zero skills, no gimbal but watching this has really educated me. Hope one day I'll get money and buy gimbal so that my videos will be perfect.

Hi sir.. U R teaching Great...wonderful 👍 I m from India

I could listen to Nice tutorialm talk for hours man what a passionate dude ❤️

Your videos are off the charts good. Makes me want to give it another go with my gimbal. I gave up on it but your video has me inspired to try again.

One of the best instructional videos I've seen about this very topic; so helpful for beginners like me! Thank you so much!

to be honest they both looked good. Pro looks like a"movie" honestly anything can be your movie as long as its relatable. beginner looks a lot like first person I usually like those types of shots for running or suspense like a person hiding I use a glide cam for the most part and u achieved it in a gimble lol. the pro to be frank looked more like for b-rolls. At the end of the day just find your niche never think pro or noob, just your art.

Man, this really made me think a lot. And I realize I have a TON to learn. Thank you so much!

I know all these spots! I’m in Laguna Niguel!

Awesome breakdown... thanks!

Make a video on how to operate smooth gimbal ( settings which is helps in smooth footage) i have ronin s

This was *really* helpful, mostly because you didn't just show what to do. Including the beginner footage side by side was great because I could look at it and say "oh yeah, that's what my footage looks like". Gave a point of comparison.

One of best source to learn about Gimbal ❤❤❤❤❤. Thank You Jeven.

This is AMAZING. You change the voice in our head. Thank you!!

Great video Jeven and thanks for the tips changed my way of thinking now👍🏻

3:53 That is me! Thank you for the tricks

really... whatever I was doing till now are pro moves, niceee

This is amazing info thanks! Now I just bought the EOS r5 with the 24-105 mm lens. I won't have the money to buy more lenses at the moment so would it be possible to get away with this lens for everything? Any tips on how to use a single lens on a budget?

Great advices for beginners like me. thanks. But I noticed that you did two things different in your "Beginner" shots, but did not mention it. First: You walked different. In the "pro" shots you used the "ninja walk", while you walked normal in the other shots. Second: You walked much slower in the "pro" shots than in the other. And how did you get the gull to sit all the time on the same spot, even while you changed the lens??? With some glue ;) When I try to do such things, the animal or the persons are always gone, when I´m ready.....

0:54 the guy on the right really takes it to the limit haha

6:41 - Seagull: "Am I on now? Shall i fly??" - I find that amusing that the seagull waited for you to change the lenses, change the frame rate, change the camera location... All talent can relate to this: there is so much waiting on set! 😄 Important tip you mentioned which works very well for all animal photos and videos: get to eye level!

Коллега, это было круто!

Man this video was so helpful. I literally just purchased a gimbal and im learning how to use it. This video is going to be watched by me a whole lot!! Thank you

To the point without any exaggeration, really helpful! Totally earned a sub! 🤩

Thank you so much now i have the idea how to make cinematic video ❤

Great tips for upgrading the gimbal moves from beginner to Pro! Thanks man!

Another great Beginner vs Pro video. Thanks for teaching us mere mortals how it's done! 🙂

Jeven, I truly appreciate your videos.

I see myself in those beginner shots :^( Every educational to see the side-by-sides.

God bless..🙏🙏🙏 Watching from Philippines Thank you for tips like this video

Dear THX! Simple 3 tips: do it slowly, gently i close to the ground ;-) I think that we can make cinematic shoot from beginner if we add slow motion for all clips ;-)

That "beginner" is a real beginner right there 😂 Pro took his shoes off, i can't 😂 But of course ;) Super vid!

Can you do a video talking a little bit more about how to shoot b roll that helps tell your “story”?

I discovered you now and I must say, wow!

Thank you for all of your input in to my understanding of drones and gamble.I hope you will keep doing what you are doing for as long you can. respect

Another great video man, thanks for taking the time to make this and helping a guy out!

Thanx Jeven Dovey this Video is very Helpful Love From India 🇮🇳

THIS IS GREAT FOR EVERY ONE

Very good points in this one 👏

Excellent. Great CTA at the end too. Masterful work.

Amazing video! Thanks
