Hi Mark - thanks for this tip and I'll need to give it ago, I wondered if I wasn't use it right or not adjusted. Thanks!

Hi there, thanks for this tip I thought I may not have it adjusted correctly - I have the Scotty version now so will try on that

Hi! That's a great idea - yes you could put a Ball Mount Tripod adaptor on the end of a selfie stick, something similar to this: amzn.to/3OYVxwC and then a Spring Phone Holder like this amzn.to/3DfzyyV screwed onto that to hold the phone - then the Pocket 3 mounted at the top of the selfie stick would allow controlling the gimbal from a distance.

Hi Justin and Leah, thanks for watching and pleased it was useful for you!

Hi David, thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback!

Hi David, this is great news it has helped you out!

Hi @miltylap9977 thanks so much for this lovely comment and feedback, really appreciated. There are no dummies in my school, just beginners and we are all beginners at the beginning 😀 I have a couple of follow on videos which may be of interest as well to help on your learning journey. Very pleased that it has helped you. Thanks for the title tip as well.

@@CinematicGimbalSchool I have already watched your other videos and they are equally as good so many thanks for them.Still the best I have found on tinternet.Well done and thanks for your help

Hi - there is a fully locked mode which can be accessed by pressing and holding down the joystick and a lock symbol should appear. It's probably the least useful mode out of all of them I'd say.

@@CinematicGimbalSchoollol, yes I’m aware. What I’m really saying is without having to hold down anything. FYI handheld style shooting can be very useful for many. Cheers

@@hellohogo Hi - I see what you mean. Yes Pocket 2 had a toggle button to access the locked mode on/off and Pocket has to be held down which is annoying and fiddly,

Hi Pablo, thanks so much! Really pleased that you found this video useful on basic moves. I'll shortly be posting a follow on video for the next stage of moves, using rotation in a week or two which I hope you might also find useful. Thanks again for watching!

Hi there, yes admit my gadgets often sit in the cupboard and it's great when they get a chance to come out and learn something about them. Best wishes!

Hi there, thanks and glad you find these useful!

Hi there, thanks and glad it was useful for you, best wishes!

I find the ninja walk tiring over long distances, plus look like a baffoon when doing it. Mind, a contraption like a stabilizer probably looks even more weird!

Hi Ash, thanks so much for the sub and pleased the videos are useful to you!

Hi - I assume you mean that the it should be possible to use the Pocket 3 with just the built in screen. Indeed, though sometimes, it's nicer to have a larger screen when filming specially setting the focus etc or when eyesight not so good

Hi there, yes indeed it adds bulk to the camera and the Pocket 3 is meant to remain small. Sometimes though for tricking filming shots, or when focusing, or tricky angles, having a phone helps. I don't recommend using it all the time, just with special situations.

Hi thanks so much for watching!

Hi David, were you surprised in that you thought the selfie stick would be more smoother or the other way around?

Hi Christian, thanks so much in return for watching!

Hi - yes it could be classified as another gimbal mode, though it's kind of specialist and I've not really found many real situations when it's actually very useful. Have you used it much?

That's a good idea - i did balancing it on a Crane M2S but it's too top heavy to get it to balance.

Hi, interesting thanks for this tip. I will give this a go 😀

@vizrod5802 Great to know! How are you attaching the Pocket 3 to the Flow, and are you using the battery handle (or providing power from an external source to the P3)?

@@jessicaf6358 I’m using the external source and I’ve attached the OP3 on the 360 clamp with on of those bike light rubber bands thingys 👍🏻

Hi! Thanks for your feedback and for watching my little channel 😀 That's a good tip, thanks! , I didn't know it was possible to render a 1080p video in 4K so will try that in future videos and even where possible try to film in 4K.

Hi Tom, thanks and glad you find these tip useful1

And I will sell the other one if anyone is interested…

Hi there - thanks for your comment. I wouldn't really think the mini tripod would make much difference really or not really noticeable. Yes, being near a wall, or narrow street seems to make the bobbing more noticeable so I chose this location with that in mind. I am thinking off getting the Scotty version which is more expensive and see if it makes a more noticeable difference than this cheap version. I hope it does given the price. I'll probably get it quite soon and do an updated video so you can see if you think it's worth it or not.

@@CinematicGimbalSchool I have used the stabilizer and found it works in reducing (not eliminating) the bobbing. The stabilizer can reduce the bobbing when the spring is set to horizon or to tilt a bit upward. The bobbing reduction effect is more obvious when shooting in an open environment like a park; much less in a confined space like a narrow corridor. (The reason is: When the point of reference is closer to the camera, the bobbing is more noticeable.) Even many call it cheap, the stabilizer is the best and very economic z-axis stabilization gear that I have ever bought and used.

Me too, I'm using latest update and the new mode doesn't show up either. Any ideas of why would be welcome.

Hi Scot, if you have the latest firmware then it definitely should be available on the gimbal modes selection screen, is it not at the last far right postion next to FPV? If it isn't I suggest contacting DJI and seeing if they can give a reason as I can't see why it shouldn't be there.

@@CinematicGimbalSchool I got it to work. I had issues getting the latest firmware update. All good now!

Hi - thanks so much for watching and glad it was useful for you

Hi - great to hear that this tip was useful to you! Thanks for watching!

Hi! Thanks so much for coming to my little channel on gimbal techniques, you are most welcome! What a good suggestion and I'll try to make updated videos showing the push forward move and the other moves in action, from the side etc There will be also more advanced moves coming in the future so look out for those. Generally I haven't found any major difference which way it is held (diagonal, vertical, flashlight) for the push forward but more important to walk slowly with the ninja style walk heel-toe makes the smoothest shot. It's really down to which is more comfortable for yourself. I generally hold it flashlight or diagonal myself, and vertical for dolly type shots. A longer stick is good for crane jib shots to gain extra lift.

Hi there, great that you find the video useful!

Hi, yes it's got the Gimbal Locked mode by pressing joystick, but this video is about the new gimbal mode introduced since firmware update in May 2024. Prior to that there was the three main gimbal modes only. Thanks for your comment, best wishes

Hi @babyboy1971 thanks for your question and watching! Yes you can set the shutter speed directly on the Pocket 3 in manual mode (need to change to Pro mode) without the app. Very interesting what you say about the action cameras, I wonder why that is. I have a GoPro and see if I can do some experimentation. Best, Tim

Hi @babyboy1971 thanks for watching! Yes, it's so useful now, I use it all the time. It was really annoying otherwise
