Which edit do you think looked best? Gimbal or Handheld? Let me know below 👇

@sumuchowdhury Год назад

Gimble is better, but with a selfie stick it can be managed to shoot the same

@user-qc9gc6sz7s Год назад

Gimbal

@akenaken Год назад

Gimbal is better and less tiresome, have been shooting handheld but trust me at the end of the shoot my back would ache 😊 however handheld is okay depending on which gear your using and how best you can ninja wlk

@Agus_Purwadi Год назад

Gimbal make Beter Footage

@MTBs Год назад

You did a good enough job handheld in my opinion! Gimbals are of more use with regular cameras. I often film with a Gopro and horizon lock engaged and sometimes it can even outperform a gimbal+regular camera (when it comes to stabilazation).

@carrietyer3133 Год назад

Very inspiring, thank you! I'm a grandma who takes and edits videos of my grandkids...I can do the basics of editing with titles, transitions, audio, etc., but I'm always looking to improve. (My version of scrapbooking) I'll save up for a gimbal and try out these ideas!

@lighthousephoto7143 Год назад

Carrie you could get a used osmo mobile version 3 pretty cheap. They're still a brilliant gimbal.

Stabilization on new phones are really amazing but keeping the horizontal level steady is really hard especially for low level shots. It is tilted at some point with the handheld shots. You can fix it on editing stage for sure but that means extra work for hours depending on the project. So, other than stabilization, gimbals help to keep horizontal level steady all the time.

@efeorhan8616 Год назад

On Samsung Galaxy S series phones there is a option that named super steady. When you use this extreme cinematic eis with ois it gives you better result than iphone’s action mode so you dont need big and heavy things like gimbal to film.

It is just awesome what I've learned on this channel. I had two expensive coaches who told me how to do better videos for our channel. But the real technique I learned HERE for FREE! Thank you so so so much!

@CasualRiders Год назад

This is by far a better version of this concept than the one I did months ago!!! Nice work

@emergingloki Год назад

Something else to think about; top end phone stabilization costs. A modest very phone and gimbal combo can get the results of a very high end mobile on its own for a lot less cash (and than you still have the gimbal if you get to upgrade your phone).

I love watching all your videos! I have watched so many of them and love this channel. The videos are well done and informative. I just watched this video and appreciated that you gave your viewers some heads up as to which gimbal settings you are using in your various shots. I realize each gimbal may have different names for each mode. But we novices definitely appreciate the little bit of extra handholding here. Thanks for sharing such beautiful landscapes and video knowledge with us! Congrats on the 1M subscribers...well earned!

Just bought the same gimbal he is using. So far it has been a lesson on 'how to use the gimbal to its fullest'. It really is a great tool for making shots easier as he points out here. It is all about keeping your actions as smooth as possible and not relying on the gimbal alone to produce super steady stuff. I am glad to have the gimbal for sure.

I'm so grateful for this video Steve. It's pretty expensive to buy a gimbal in my country. So, this video was all I need. Definately gonna practice these moves). Thank you.

@MEWARIGUY Год назад

I wanna ad something here, if you take hyperlaps or running shots or any kind of action activities the gimble is going to make it done easily so if you got a gimble that's going to enhance the stability! And if you just shoot some stable shots while standing at one place or little bit walk you don't need a gimble with your iPhone ! ✨❤️

@LearnOnlineVideo Год назад

Yes, I totally agree. If you’re following/tracking a subject or doing any kind of action sports then a gimbal is a must. Stay tuned for part 2 where I will be shooting some parkour 😀👌

@WillNewcomb Год назад

This was brilliant, particularly for the beginner or the occasional video. Thank you. Some of the handheld shots can be a bit easier using a selfie stick. Sure nowhere as good as a gimbal but a great halfway house.

@SUPERGENKI Год назад

I don't own a gimbal, just the fact that I would have to carry it around, would make me feel I SHOULD use it, otherwise it would be wasted that I brought it in the first place, it would make me feel "locked" in terms of creativity, but that's probably just me. Great video as always Steve, thanks very much. Thomas

@JOSEIGNACIOPaseos Год назад

Really in your report the practice you have is noticeable and the shots by hand turn out very well. I normally use a gimbal, because I record walks and it is more comfortable for me, and I also like to keep the horizon level. For those who may think it is an excessive expense, they can always spend a quarter buying a DJI Osmo mobile 4, now if they have been able to spend their money on an iPhone, they will not mind, here among us, the OPPO The Fain X3 has better cameras (despite the iPhone's hype), especially when compared to the poor wide-angle iPhones, and it now costs very little. Greetings, very good channel.

@robbit4butterfly Год назад

Very good (and beautiful located) video to compare shooting with and without a gimbal OF THE USUAL TYPE. 👍🏼Regrettably there doesn't seem to be a single product that elimitates the only image shaking that built in OIS isn't capable of eliminate: vertical (as occur while walking). That could be reduced with a gimbal where the compensation axises are near your hand (like a flipped regular gimbal). Your video shows it perfectly: what needs most to be taken care of is not affected to the clips no matter of any gimbal.

@scottathomson Год назад

For low down footage the phone in a holder attached to a monopod (or similar) allows you to walk normally and hold the phone very close to the ground, still handheld but much better footage. Great video again Steve.

@KurtPapke Год назад

There is a 3rd alternative. I do a lot of trekking videos, and I simply mount my iPhone to the end of my trekking pole. This allows me to get good close to the ground shots without bending over. You should cover this less expensive (and less to carry) possibility.

@holygoat4372 Год назад

Nice and Thanks. I have a few gimbals many purchases influenced by RU-vid videos many influencers produce. I have one main issue with Gimbals. -Weight of my iPhones with Moment Lenses. Many influencers will try and tell us there is no issue if you can balance the phone well. Well from my experience there is only 75% truth in that. They all go out of control after a few manoeuvres. Today I have given up with Gimbals and I find the best solution with the newer phone is a Smallrigs cage and handles.

@harmanhamiltonadventures3788 8 месяцев назад

I'd like to add another tool possibility to compromise between handheld and gimbal. The ShiftCam ProGrip has really helped me get better handheld footage with the Samsung Ultra S22 because it feels like holding a camera instead of the precarious fingertip handling of the phone. Better high shots and low shots are facilitated because the phone can be rotated. Vortex is not really possible, but then I hardly ever use that anyway. With the camera mounted, I can still slip it into my pocket ready for action. Also, it's not as obtrusive as a gimbal. I have to admit that keeping levels while moving is still much more difficult than with a gimbal.

@yaunok Год назад

In Handheld make your hand moving a lot up and down when you slide camera from left to right . But Gimbal make that moving so smooth. I see. And shooting with gimbal from lower ground to higher does better than handheld does

@p.f.p.productions6082 Год назад

Wonderful video. I agree, the Gimbal makes shooting easier. Both Gimbal and handheld videos are perfect. I guess it all comes down to budget, but I think a Gimbal would definitely be the best way to go.

@4WheelingSA Год назад

Very cool. I have a Fiyutech gimbal (the one you have is better, mine is limited). I have found that sometimes it is easier to use a phone if you need to capture something quickly. The Gimbal takes a bit more time to get ready. Ideal I would say is to practice both. BTW - the rotating handheld shot actually came our very well!
