Thanks, Matt! You are a master of the gimbal, and you share your experience and talent in a free mini YT masterclass. You're not just a film poet, you're a wedding muse for me.

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.

So many great tips here. I'm definitely going to try flipping my handles on my next shoot. For details, I find it really helps to shoot in 60p so they can be slowed right down. Also we love to keyframe subtle zooms on gimbal shots like cranes and orbits to make them more dynamic.

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

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

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

@thefilmpoets

2 жыл бұрын

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

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 ?

@@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.

Hey Brian, I tap to track AF with one hand most of the time. This along with face detect makes tracking pretty simple.

remember you can use the external monitor and the cameras monitor at the same time. I should have mentioned this as I always have it set this way. For AF I'm just doing the standard face tracking mode and will object track from time to time. And the c70, which I use a lot, I like to do the Whole Area AF setting, which is unique to that camera.

In my gimbal workflow I am using pan follow and tilting with the rsc2 wheel (great so far but can't use a dual grip because I should have my one hand on the handle in case I need to tilt). Do you recommend using pan and tilt follow instead of pan follow? What are you personally using the most?
