Single handed gimbals are a powerful tool for weddings. They can replace sliders or monopods on some parts of the day, but I still bring my monopod to every wedding. Here's how I use the DJI RS2 on a wedding day.
A couple of notes:
1. If you want to use an EF Canon 24-105mm for gimbal work I suggest the version 1 and to balance at about 50mm. The newer versions are much larger causing the lens to be thrown too far out of balance while zooming. With the v1, I'm able to zoom the full range and the RS2 can keep up using.
2. With any type of camera movement, gimbals sliders, etc, there will still be some imperfections in the movement from time to time. The goal is to have the footage be as steady as possible, and if needed add a touch of post-stabilization to make it perfect.

Great video! I've noticed your two shots in one over time watching your videos and every time I perform the maneuver I think of The Film Poets! I shoot on BMPCC 4k's so I am also pulling focus the whole day while gimbaling and am pretty confident with it! Slightly more stressful but pulling focus is fun and I realized I can create more "cinematic" shots with it.

@thefilmpoets 2 года назад

Thanks Bryce! Yea the flipped handles save my back, but more than that I think it helps to put the gimbal in the sweet spot for camera height on a 35-50mm lens, right at waist level. I've noticed some other's footage actually looks better with the older, ronin-m. I believe it's because many of their shots are too high because of the S models make it harder to shoot at waist height. Have fun, -Matt

Thats a good idea. to give you an idea, I use Canons DPAF on the gimbal. Most times face detection works will, or object tracking. For tougher stuff like wides on a first dance I'm basically object tracking their bodies. Hope that helps a bit. -Matt

@kthx1138 Год назад

Wonderful work! I wish I got requests for that 2.35:1 letterbox format--it's epic! Do you ever put a GoPro on top of your DSLR using the hot-shoe? I find the GoPro adds that little bit of extra security in coverage, plus its ultra-view, even in linear, provides the ultimate in scope.

@filmandflourish 2 года назад

Awesome video and content. So good. I'm assuming you're shooting in 60fps the entire day?

@thefilmpoets 2 года назад

I shoot 23.98 most of the day and then 60fps when I know I want to slow it in post. As a rule of thumb I'll go 60fps for portrait session since the couples aren't models and may not maintain a shot very long, and I'll occasional do the same for precessional and details. - Remember you can't run 60fps in a 24fps timeline without slowing it down to at least 80%, the math doesn't work out otherwise and the playback will have to skip frames. -Matt

Thank you for sharing these tips @The Film Poets, I watched your other video setting up the DJI RS2, you are using custom "Pan & Tilt Follow" mode. For all the moves you are showing in this video, are you on the same custom "Pan & Tilt Follow" mode, or are you switching modes based on the shots you are doing, like for example "push in and push out" are you locking all axis for your shot to look like a slider ? Appreciate your response.

@thefilmpoets 2 года назад

@stevenarthurfilms3162 2 года назад

Great video! I was wondering which handles for the rs2 and monitor you recommend?

@thefilmpoets 2 года назад

I’m using the DJI R Twist Grip Dual Handle here - amzn.to/33yfZji. There are some mounting points on the arms that work well for mounting monitors. My monitor is an older smallhd501. It’s fine but has a lot of glare so I put a matte screen protector over for an iPhone over it. Sometimes reducing glare, even at the cost of a little brightness, makes a monitor easier to see outdoors. So try that if you have issues with a monitor outside. -Matt

Really great info on movement and comp. I’m typically a photographer and do video time to time. Have RS3 pro with dual handgrips external monitor and the easy rig stabil light to take the fatigue off my arms. Are you pulling focus or in AF? also are you changing up frame rates throughout the day? I have a big wedding next week at a sick venue by the ocean and I’m in charge of video for the day (will also be using a 3 cam set up for the ceremony) the hard part is doing it as a 1 man band🥵

@thefilmpoets 11 месяцев назад

I use video AF throughout the day. I'll tap and track the subject often. And yes frame rates vary depending on the situation. Generally it's 24fps and then 60fps for portrait session. Good luck, you've got your work cut out for you!

@b3lievenhopephotography578 11 месяцев назад

@@thefilmpoets awsome I might try the AF then as I’m using a Nikon Z9 so subject tracking is pretty sticky. Just gets tricky sometimes when a lot of ppl around them as it tends to stick to who it wants to. I typically pull focus with the tilta follow focus dial but if the majority of time it’s just couples only I think AF is best. And as far as frame rates I love 24 for the look but the Z9 is pretty bad with rolling shutter when panning or motion is involved. I guess I can try to keep it minimal with slow movement when on gimbal.

@thefilmpoets 11 месяцев назад

@@b3lievenhopephotography578 I use a c70 mainly, and it has a "Whole area" AF, that acts a lot like photo autofocus, instead of tracking a subject it focuses based of composition and what's large in the frame.

@thefilmpoets 2 года назад

I have a good idea what will be slow'd down while shooting. A lot of it comes from knowing the couple an how I want the film to feel. But I always film the portrait session at 60fps. Most of our couples aren't models and can't hold positions for very long. I'll often run it back at 80% If I don't want it to be slow. -Matt

@thefilmpoets Год назад

Hey Brian, I tap to track AF with one hand most of the time. This along with face detect makes tracking pretty simple. The c70 that I use also has a mode that works more like a photography-style autofocus, where the largest thing in the frame is selected and there's no actual tracking going on. I use that often.

@@thefilmpoets Fantastic - thanks for the quick response! One more related question, if you don’t mind: I’m finally starting a wedding filmmaking business, and I’m not sure if I’ll need a monitor like the Ninja V+ that can record HQ R5 output externally to help with overheating. I know you used (maybe still sometimes use?) the R5… What monitor would you recommend for the R5, and was overheating an issue for you when recording internally? Thanks again for all your awesome content and expertise!

@thefilmpoets Год назад

@@BrianSellers we use the R5 as a B-cam. It's had several firmware updates that help control overheating. Haven't really had any issues shooting 4k HQ mode and some 60p. You can always swap to regular 4k mode and it will never overheat. - External recording monitors scare me, at least for live events. I've heard a few horror stories of people not triggering the record properly and losing clips, etc. Keep it simple if you can, weddings are hard enough as is.
