  • Steve, I revisit this video over and over no matter how much experience I have. Really sound advice and tips sometimes easy to forget. Thanks for the consistently high level of quality you produce.
  • @arashkordi7771
    I like this! Straight to the point! No extra fluff or timewasting to keep us watching for better stats! Pure and simple! you sir, have just gained a subscriber because of this excellently produced video! Cheers!

    I'm an experienced on set commercial producer and have worked with world class crews. This gentleman knows what he is talking about. Watch his stuff.
  • These are great tips for shooting in general, with or without a gimbal. Love your example of carrying hot coffee to illustrate the benefit of doing the ninja walk.
  • You put a lot of thought and preparation into this video. I love how you echo the coffee and gimbal shots. I’m really excited about discovering your channel!
  • Steve you are definitely a pro at this I’ve watched a few of your tutorials and I have to say all of them are captivating great job my favorite out of all on this particular one is definitely Balancing with the coffee cup that makes so much sense great job I look forward to more from you.
  • @prabdau
    One thing I would add...Play back each clip before moving on to the next shot. You don't want to discover later in the edit that some of your clips don't look as good as you originally thought. Also, you might consider using a Monitor Hood Sun Shade for your phone during playback so you can better see your finished shot.

    This is the second of your videos that I have watched. I appreciate how practical your tips. I have been working in video for many years; however, I have never used a gimbal. I decided to get started on gimbals with a DJI MO4 and a iPhone 12. I can’t believe how much there is to learn. Thanks for your help.
  • I find your tutorials and tips great, and it was your review of the Hohem isteady X that convinced me to buy it. This is my first gimbal, and Im struggling with knowing what modes I should be using. I’d love to see a run throw of each mode and how best to use them.
  • Sir you are really too good. I can't believe that you are giving such high quality education for free. So thank you so much sir. Keep doing it and 1million is not to far.
  • Always so inspiring to watch your tutorials Sir. I wonder how you make it all look so simple. Great content packed in a small tutorial.
  • @AdaminNihon
    Great advice! I had no idea about the lock function for focus/exposure so that’s fantastic!! Subscribed!
  • @abzainazraai
    Watching this makes me wanna get myself Hohem too! Amazing video once again! Keep it up 👌🏻
  • Loved this - Thank you for taking the time to make this very informative video. I also liked the links to the equipment used and also links to similar videos you have created. Nice one. Peter.
  • @TashapeshapeTah
    I enjoy watching your videos. And I love it that we’re using the same phone! Still fail to lock exposure, will work on that. Thank you for sharing!
  • @MBarkerFilms
    I use most of the tips you have mentioned in a previous video, its changed my videos a hell of a lot. I bought the hohem isteady mobile plus and its probably the best purchase i have ever made, especially for my cinematic videos around Scotland
