I’m 70 years old and have been a ranch and farm broker in Central Oregon for 20 years. During that time I have shot all my own stills and video for each of my listings. When I started in the business we had to rent a helicopter for aerial shots. Some of these ranches are large - 20K to 40K acres. So I had to get aerial shots. The DJI drone changed all that. I started with the Nikon D90 then went with Lumix starting with the G3. My work was only seen online when video came into play, and we usually used 720p. Now that I am getting ready to retire I plan on using all my gear to document the lives of farmers and ranchers I’ve met through the years. I still use Lumix and by necessity I keep it simple. I also picked up Parkinson’s Disease about 10 years ago so stability can be hard for me, although holding cameras has a really positive effect on my brain and also calms my hand tremors. Sorry to write War and Peace. I just wanted you to know that I find your content to be extremely helpful as I start this new phase of my life. You are a great teacher and I appreciate the time you take to pass along your knowledge. Many thanks - Jim in Oregon
Using a blank doc on your computer as a softbox: BEST tip EVER.
Also works with many TVs that will show a picture from a USB drive
Also means you could use TVs and monitors as colorful lighting... 🤔👌
It is also good when wiping the screen. You can see all the dirt very easily.
Finally someone on TH-cam that doesn’t just recommend 60fps.
Jonathan Grigg 😂😂
Let me rephrase a bit...”Finally someone on TH-cam that doesn’t just recommend 60fps then slow it down as typical as it should be making your video look as boring as others
uh he does other than, it is less susceptible to shake
@@kahiri78mohdidris53 sorry why would you shoot on 60 then slow it down.Is just smoother because you shot twice as many frames ?
@@vodoo5553 slow motion makes footage look smoother, sudden camera shakes are the most noticeable so slowing the cottage down makes it less noticeable.
"get a top handle, you can use it for many things in your life" Mark Bone 2019
When doing the shoulder strap thing, running it diagonally across your back is actually much more comfortable for long periods than your neck. Plus you can drop your camera to your side if you need to get it out of your way temporarily. I've been shooting that way for years and it's great.
I do this as well. 🙂
Rad. I’ll try this out!
Like the "Sun-Sniper"-Strap you mean? Good point tho!
@@markbone I just bought a top handle but honestly the footage I’m getting is shakier than what I get from just using the camera strap diagonally around my shoulder and using the camera body grip itself. What am I doing wrong?
Try a steady bag. 🎥🔥
3rd time watching this. I love refreshing my mind. I am just starting as videographer.
Also, a tip for horizontal movements (i'm italian, bear with me xD), get the camera as close as you, "lock" your torso and put your legs where your camera movement will end: that way the motion is more natural and predictable since you start from an awkard position and end up in a more normal and relaxed position.
Such a "natural" look that really engages the viewer. Really enjoyed your insight on this one Mark!
I have seen independent filmakers with heavy equipment that pans and slides and etc and your handheld stuff looks 1000x better, smoother and more professional. You are awesome.
I have to start using these tips. The swaying movement is also something I saw people doing but was unsure when I need to use it. It now makes more sense . Thanks Mark
Mark, I watched this video and shortly after purchased the handle. Thank you! I'm loving it!
mark, i absolutely love all your tutorials. so informative and helpful without fluff and garbage filler. ALSO weird note, i just ordered those same color way janoskis hahaha
frankmittenz they’re so sick! I can’t believe how comfy they are
Just found your channel all of 10 minutes ago and needless to say I'm tuning into every video from here on out. Great video man!
Hey Mark, loved your film Rescate and was so stoked to find your channel! As a fellow Sony user it would be awesome to see your take on picture profiles, exposing, and some coloring in a future video. Your colors always look amazing in your work and I think I could learn a ton from your workflow. Keep up the awesome work and I'm excited to watch this channel grow!
The scenes in that light just upped production quality 10 fold.
Loving the content, glad to see more quality filmmaking channels on the rise!
Love the practical tips! It’s great to see the footage you’ve used these techniques with
Davey Lieske 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
how have I never come across your channel?! Top handle is EVERYTHING! i don't shoot much video but when I do it's always on!
Dude your channel is amazing. You’re gonna blow up soon I’m calling it right now
Very early stages of looking at branching into video from solely photography and really enjoying your content dude; very helpful, very nicely explained and set out, great attitude; nailing it.
Got a top handle a couple weeks ago because gimbal and glide cam prices are way too much. Shooting a short film in the next few weeks and this video was just what I needed! Keep making great content.
Awesome! Go crush that short film
Sooo. How did it go?
I just have discovered your channel. I'm trying to get started in photography and cinematic videos and i just wanted to say thank you for the tips, i will use them and now you have a new sub from spain!
Title of the video is a win in itself. Too much content today is being relied on with the use of 60p. Thanks for the content Mark!
Right?? "Shoot wide open and shoot 60fps and everything will change for the better in your life"
Love watching your videos, and seeing your channel grow. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Von! Appreciate the support! Excited to see this channel grow alongside you all
I've seen tons of videos on shooting better handheld and I still learned more than one new thing from this. Thanks Mark!
Thanks Alex!! Happy Handheld shooting!!
It’s finally here and as amazing as I’d anticipated! Amazing work! 🥰👍🏾
Rana Napier yeah man!!
This is gold! Thank you for this video! I will definitely be utilizing these tips for my videos
Hey, Mark again a very good video thank you. It's nice to learn how to make stable shots or how to make nice gimbal movements or slider shots. The bigger problem especially for me is the story and to know which shot, which angel, which location to choose. It's not easy to learn this.. It's more a feeling which needs to be developed.
coming back to this channel every day at the moment. Best creator youtube channel going around my man! Love it and love watching your subs increase everyday!
This was a very solid video concerning better handheld shooting. I appreciate you adding value to our TH-cam niche!
You're welcome!!
Good tips. I went to your reel. As you already know, your work is very high quality. I really enjoyed watching your reel.
This was a terrific video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge Mark!
Glorious content man! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with such fresh vibes!
Have been searching for video like this for months... THANK GOD YOU DID IT!!!
My favourite method... gorillapod with two legs wrapped around my right wrist (as I'm holding the camera) and one leg is extended to the left and bent into a handle shape for me to hold with my left hand. REALLY stable.
Haydn Rushworth - Filmmaker I might try this...
That's an awesome tip! I'm struggling to get mine wrapped just right. Have any example videos/images on how to do it?
That would be a handy little video wouldn't it. Bear with me, I'll see if I can oblige :-)@@gregbarbosa0
That's how I broke my gorillapod with a 6D and a 44-3 Helios
Great idea!
Awesome. Thanks for the tips! I’ve been looking into building a camera rig, so yeah, the handle is part of it, and now I know how important it is. Thank man!
Super great video Mark!
For smaller mirrorless, adding a cage with a top handle, monitor and microphone helps weighting down and thus stabilize 👌👌
LKFX Quality Media I’m gonna add Lead weights for even more stability
Peter Nyiri I’m gonna add dumbbells for extra 💪
Which cage, you got a link?
Totally agree. The weight is super helpful!
@@giovanicamara869 check smallrig cage for your specific camera, every camera has a custom made cage
I picked up on this from one of your last videos, copped a handle & shot last two videos with it! Changed my life!
KOZYKEV so good!!
Great tips Mark, loving your valuable info -- not technical, more philosophical and storytelling oriented. Thanks and keep on!✌
You have the most useful and simple tips I've heard on YT in a long time!
Killer tips man! I'm glad the algorithm pushed this video to me!
Sheesh!! I've been waiting for this handheld tips! great video as always. thank you for sharing these tips!
Jodee Ancayan you’re welcome :)
I really needed these excellent basic tips. Beautifully explained and jam packed with tips
Great work mate! stoked I found your channel!
Always great stuff Mark!
GH5 with IBIS + Camera strap + Elbows locked on the ribs + Ninja foot steps = Awesome smooth footage. Another great content man ! clapclap
You sound like a ninja! That's a solid setup
@@markbone Sure thing I am
The boxing shots are just 😚👌
Jules-Frederic Nerestant thank you!!
Thanks dude. Gonna get the top handle! So excited already. Great tips. Very fresh approach to film making, nice to see.
Like your improvisation skills - that's what makes a great cinematographer! Subscribed! :)
Thanks mate!!
Thank you for these useful tips! With practice, these tips will become second nature. I can't wait to try it out.
Great video mate, well done !
Most helpful content Ive ever seen. Thank you!
i m on a binge of discovering people that have under 100k subscribers that are just the best channels on youtube by far.
🙏🏻 thank you mate
Great tips here. Thanks for sharing Mark.
Nice man, really enjoyed this and learned a few things. This video felt 'fresh' compared to many other video's that I watch. Subbed!
Thanks man!!
Now THAT was some useful information. Especially the top handle. It never occurred to me that you could mount a handle to the shoe. Thank you.
Amazing tips thanx Mark , really love the computer screen idea
Garth Ensley haha! It works great
Mark, thanks for the really good advice. I've been dabbling with handheld and just haven't had much success. Meaning I really want smooth footage. I bought a top handle and after watching this a second time have started putting these tips into practice and I'm getting footage that I really like.
Ken Sherman top handles are game changing! Keep crushing it man
The documentary was shot in my country ❤️ much love brother
Great tips Mark! Loving the channel!
Ashton Obadiah thank you!!
That Top handle has been my most favourite purchase... thank you!!
It's Andy you’re welcome!!
Sweet tips man - I subbed. That 'white document as a softbox' tip is dope!
Awesome video! Thanks for the tips, I like that handle, and the light, definitely adding them to my camera bag.
Cheers,
Thanks!!
thanks tdk next level off hande hela.. love you bro
Literally got my F7 last week! Works wonderfully!!!!!!!!
That light scene mode is pretty awesome! Things like that make you think about better ways to be creative with lighting 👍
Yeah it’s a pretty fun/crazy little tool
60fps is great if you want to slow down your footage in post to 24fps, however only use this when you want to slow down footage, blah blah blah, Thanks mark this is something different and I am actually gonna use it !
Whatever gear doesn't interest you, you can totally send my way haha! Thank you again for the great tips as always Mark!
Ey Mark, well done! Precise, super useful and funny.. Many thanks to share your experience, you helped me a lot!..
Dude I enjoy your content, its super helpful and doesn't feel forced. Butter smooth! Would love to see some of your favorite lenses.
Thanks mate!!
I've been a DP for 20 years and this is great advice.
Doing great man! Another video full of great tips! thanks for that !
Thanks Jakub!!
Awesome video man, super informative and I like the bit about weighing the cam down. I've always been told to optimize for light setups in a run and gun loadout but the weight makes a lot of sense. Currently shooting on a Rebel SL2 with a heavy-ish Sigma 10-20. Keep it up man!
Keep it heavy!!
1:12 into the video and I'm sold. You got a new fan.
Brilliant Tips! thanks so much. I've been doing the strap thing for ages along with finding a post and resting the camera on it as i swivel it, using it as a makeshift tripod. Subscribed +1
Doing amazing, thanks man! You are awesome! Great job! Great video!
Thanks man!
Mark, this video is treasure of helpful thing! Thanks utterly much.
You are the channel I've been searching for. Subbed.
great video...I have been trying to explain this about how to shoot in the street with heavy DSLRs and mostly any camera with some weight.Yes,you can stabilize gear with elbows in and resting things on your body.Boxers train this way to protect their bodies from blows..
Great instructional video Mark and cool neighborhood!
Im doing well Mark! Hope you are good as well!
Ok Mark, you've got me. I'm buying top handle for my trip to Sri Lanka next week. Can't wait for the shots :)
Great stuff, will apply that at my shoot today right away!
I really need this thank you so much.
You the man Mark it's Deen again 💯❤️
Beauty video @Mark Bone. I agree I'm all about getting some weight on that thing
Ross Bodenmann - Art Director thanks brother. Weigh that rig down
man, you are clever. i like your style. keep doing what you do! I enjoy your content.
Awesome Vid! Simple tips that I'll definitely take to account next time I go shoot thanks 😁
Keep crushing it man!
This is helpful information. I need to start working on more hand held recording.
As I am a self-taught with regards to photo/video, and like most things the education is forever. With that said, I quickly wanted a "cage" or as MB says top-handle, as to me, it felt more natural and smooth. But I didnt see many "pros" talking about it, so of course I thought I reinvented the wheel and I was gonna get a noble prize. We all know how that ends.
But I fully agree on the top-handle, although I like using it from the side, like a steering wheel sometimes.. I like it close, :)
Thanks MB
Mark as someone who is still learning this is sweet I just made a cage and I use the rods and a small plate so I can press it against me. Thanks for all your teachings
Great video! Thank you for all the advice. Have a great week.
Thanks Dave, you too!
@@markbone you're welcome!
Premium presentation and information. Thank you very much.
My Top handle is on its way.
I have a battery grip on my mirrorless Camera and often leave a monopod attached but I can totally see how adding a Top Handle would improve the handling still.
great info based on experience. just subbed 👌🏼
i just got that pocketlite in the mail...also I think i got the helios 44-2 a while back because of you ...and Mark....thanx and thanx
Great tips! I have a heavier camera that I use for vlogging. Looking forward to trying these.
Hey Mark, I am good, have returned to Finland from US, and I am happy than ever after, even thou weather is miserable. Good video, cheers!
Thanks!! Enjoy Finland
Bro 😂 I felt you with the no lights. Last video I made I had no key light so I put a white background on my tv and boom. It worked perfectly 😂
Matthew Dylan l love it
