this was singlehandedly the most helpful video I've watched out of dozens in regards to shoulder rig stabilization. the tip about pulling the camera further away from the rig's edge helped me so much -- THANK YOU!

Really informative, this is one of the best shoulder rig technique videos I've seen. Thank you.

This was really helpful man, glad you stressed the fact that it’s a learning curve, and the more time spent trying the better footage you’ll get. My shoulder rig comes in the mail tomorrow, this got me hyped for it. Good work sir!

Not gonna lie. I applied your methods to a 50-100 on the pocket 6K and it was such punch to see how stable the footage was on a longer focal length on an already cropped sensor. This was a great video! Thank you for uploading this.

This is so thorough, I subscribed immediately!

Great tutorial - just received my new shoulder rig to find out that's is not as easy as expected.

Thanks for sharing these tips. This was very helpful.

After watching several videos and make my research, yours is really precise and very useful. Thank you so much for sharing your experience!!.

Your gear is just what I'm after right now. Great advice in this video!

Wow, I know I’m a little late but this was a great video! Very informative indeed 👍🏿👍🏿

Fantastic vid! And thx for the links! 👍

Brilliant tutorial, i'm still learning stuff well into my 50s!

Thank you very much. Nice thing for a young man to say 😊

This is an awesome video! I recently had to sell a motorized gimbal due to financial hardship, but was lucky enough to still have a shoulder rig. This showed me everything I needed to get an amazing video. Thank you for the gold!

Thank you. Yeah, that hardship abounds. Glad you still had the rig. Listen, I have no doubt you'll make some great stuff with that.

On another video for a shoulder rig, someone had made the comment that the fundamental problem with such rigs is they now move the fatigue point to your HANDS rather than letting your shoulder do the heavy lifting. Like even in your rig, the camera is way forward relative to where your shoulder pad is. This stresses your arms more rather than shoulder taking the load.

You can actually shift the entire rig on the rails back-and-forth to alleviate pressure wherever you’re having difficulty. In my practice, I didn’t feel any fatigue in the hands at all. I think it comes down to a matter of individual preference and individuals strength in their hands, versus shoulder muscles, etc. as I said, neither myself, nor my two assistants have ever had weariness, fatigue, or pain in the hands.
