Thanks 😊

[@erwindaveg1]

Awesome summary!

[@alliphil1]

Gracias! And also 7:42 Invest in a power bank

[@MarcojLotito]

Thank you. I enjoyed the whole video (and many of your other ones)... You're a great teacher, but I must be a terrible student. I can't even seem to be able to hold it right. I would like to keep the smartphone steady while i move forward or just use my torso from left to right, but the damn thing moves anyway (using a DJI OM 5)... It doesn't keep my desired framing, it turns slightly horizontally...

[@parrotheadstx]

Excellent content and tutorial. Thank you Steve.

[@EarlDeanDonte909]

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.

[@shanmukhanandi9905]

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.

[@barkingmadmedia6680]

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.

[@hainesmatthewhaines2137]

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!

[@mamcit]

simply.thank you.

[@sanjayjaiswal5447]

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.

[@tcadventurechannel]

As a beginner, learning basics from your video really improved my filming skills. Thank you for sharing!

[@byahenifrank1015]

Thank you for sharing Sir.

[@AdaminNihon]

Great advice! I had no idea about the lock function for focus/exposure so that’s fantastic!! Subscribed!

[@PeterMossUkulele]

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.

[@abzainazraai]

Watching this makes me wanna get myself Hohem too! Amazing video once again! Keep it up 👌🏻

[@Arome_Shot_It]

This is simply beautiful. This composition is good enough for a shooting story of either a product or a building already. Thank you

[@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

[@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.

[@my_garden.secrets]

🥰❤❤Coolest techniques taught at a pace one can easily follow and retain in memory 😄, unlike those where they r talking so fast you lose interest and stressed.

[@LinkwithKeiz]

YOU ARE THE MAN! THANKS!

[@StevenDempseyArtist]

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.

[@funkycoldm3dina]

Hi, I came across your video as I was admiring the design of my DJI osmo3 and I am not much of a filmmaker, but I didn't realize that just filming an old building using a gimbal could be just as exciting as watching a movie done by pros. I have always had ideas of dynamic filmmaking such as in F1, the cars driving away into the sunset but now that i have a DJI Osmo 3 I can't wait to maybe one day when covid 19 is over and I get to go the motorsport races again, I will be able to do those shots that I have always envisioned. All thanks to you and your videos. I hope that all made sense. Bye4now....SqueezyHugs.

[@samuelgodis6902]

"Hey everyone, steve here from learn online video“ makes me super excited when it comes up 👍

[@DavidJr.11]

Thank you, glad we found you👍

[@geraldprost9254]

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.

[@BornForEntrepreneurs]

Good to see no one dislike this awesome video

[@DJB323]

you might've brought in all the dislikes

[@_anandu.vishnu_]

@@DJB323 😂😂😂

[@_anandu.vishnu_]

@Kakumei Ascott wtf dude.... He explained everything quite well 🙌

[@SouthernSummoners]

@@DJB323 lol, it doesn't matter to youtube, he gets paid the same either way because it's an interaction, thumbs up, thumbs down all the same as far as CZcams is concerned, which is awesome in this guys case, because he doesn't make any bad videos..

[@SouthernSummoners]

My gimbal is equipped with a power bank.. I'm in love with your channel, I absolutely love this content so much!! I've gotten a decent following on tiktok, but I really wanted to grow my CZcams and I honestly think this is going to help.. I've been so afraid of my crappy camera skills but I have gotten a gimbal and a really nice camera, along with your tips I believe everything's going to be okay 👍! Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos for us new guys.. I'm actually not that new but naive when it comes to these things I guess..

[@uphillcreativemedia827]

How do you record audio for a DSLR while using a gimbal?
