Only pros like you are able to take such epic shots handheld. Average user would not achieve this even with a gimbal. 😂 awesome video, thanks!
Thanks I appreciate the nice comment. I believe you can do that too, if you practice enough you’ll get there and I’m here to guide you :D
Benett, Big fan of your work bro❤
I agree
Pro isn't a gift. It's continues practice that makes a pro.
Practice and also practice editing
First step of video making is to get it done handheld and learn editing. Editing will point out the flaws and areas of improvement . After a period of time either your interest get faded or will take it to next level. Get a gimbal if moving to next level. Dont buy a gimbal after watching breathtaking videos thinking that its easy. For that you need passion which should not last for a week / few months 😆 + require patience and time. Thats all folks
Thanks for you input 👍🏻
Learn how to use the camera is first.
great advice!
Thanks for the video! Still deciding if I need/want one. Excellent break down.
I actually really enjoyed the feel of the Hand Held shots for this particular project.
Fantastic content! I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the video, and I'm definitely going to purchase the Gimbal.
I am so inspired by the shots and technique you showed us, thanks!
You are welcome!
Great job ! Your channel is very helpful and very practical and honest without any gimmicky sponsorship. Keep the good job
I appreciate that!
Yes, cool video
Thanks a lot for sharing! This was very helpful.
Glad you enjoy the content!
Very informative, I learnt a lot. Thanks 🙏🏾
You are welcome!
This was by far the best comparison between hand held moves and gimbal equivalent. You did a great job.
I'm new to gimbals & have an Insta360 Flow. It's definitely a learning process and I have had to try out many moves over and over to become familiar with them and to learn the gimbals functions. It's not a quick and easy transition if you've not used a gimbal before.
Blessings
Awesome, thank you!
Helpful as this is the one insta360 flow I was thinking about buying. What are your thoughts @willnewcomb ?
@@pinkcurlgirl Being new to gimbals I'm still in a learning curve. But the more i use it the more I love it. But so far most of my use has been just practicing using the facilities. But today I put together a short Christmas video message using the rear facing cameras on wideangle which worked out fine. Previously I've only used the selfie camera on my iPhone12pm. From the reviews I've seen I'm well pleased with it. One drawback has been the limited tilt range, but I've found I can get around that by holding the thing out to the side and then lifting it up. That way the movement is accommodated by the rotate axis rather than by the tilt axis.
Great review man, thank you.
Love your channel -- i've been watching it for a while now and appreciate your practical approach for teaching novice creators.
As to whether to gimbel or not, one thing you do not mention as a con is that many gimbels cannot handle a phone with any case and those that do cannot accept thick-ish cases. This forces you to remove the case every time you want to use them -- not convenient at all. I've tried all the phone gimbels released in the past several years and none of them accept my phone with the case on, which is ½" thick.
I agree, thanks for your input!
Try to use Zhiyun smooth 5. My setup is iphone promax 14, case and Sandmarc Telephoto Lens and everything works fine with this heavy load!!!
very very helpful, thanks alot
good fkn video, liked every single bit of it. The way you explained it and showed it inbetween and stuff. You're skripting is a treat, keep it up!
Thx!
Outstanding video sir. Very informative tutorial. Subscribed.
Brilliant video thank you:-)
OMG... Thank you for compiling this and sharing this with us. I learn't a lot from you today.
You are so welcome!
Thank You for sharing .. Great video..
You are welcome!
Good job. thanks you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Hey Benett! Appreciate you setting this to creative commons attribution. Will be using a few seconds of you filming with your iPhone :) I'll be sure to attribute on-screen
I’m trying to make walk tour content with my iPhone 13 Pro Max and the DJI OM 6 really helps a lot with all the long walking takes! Smooth and leveled all the way.
for long walking tours a gimbal is great. Thanks for watching!
omg the image is really good. i dont know if the setting but my iphone video is pretty bad xox great video
Exelente video amigo gracias👍
You are welcome!
Good video! Informative
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice tutorial Very helpful
Glad to hear that, you are welcome!
Great Job! Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Bro you took immaculate shots and you have inspired me too be as creative as yourself!
Happy to hear that!
idk if anyone noticed but the conflower right in the start was amazing
What do u think about the video quality on iPhone 14. Any pointers on how to export to have a nice smooth video ??
It’s very helpful content for a TH-cam starter like me who uses iPhone as a main device for shooting videoes
Keep going!
How do you make this speed effect at 2:07, it looks cool💪🏽
BOOM! :) Thank you for proving my point I was trying to make in your previous video... you don't really need a gimbal if you know what you're doing, shoot high FPS and slow it down. Great video, great shots, and you really can't tell the difference between the two.
Thanks, glad you like it 👍🏻
Very useful .. thanks🌹
You are welcome!
My first visit to your channel and I am delighted. You have such a wonderful teaching skills, everything is structured and layed out in a didactical manner. But also funny details. One thing you could have done more is to place both films next to each other in the frame, so that the comparison is much more obvious and easier to spot the differences. Also, you should have mentioned that your handheld recordings (or both) have been stabilized in post, which is not a small thing. So, the difference would have been much more obvious without later stabilizing the footage in post, wouldn't it?
Thanks for you feedback, great input will keep that in mind 🙏🏻👍🏻
Hi this is Dario from Italy. Congrats for your contents I appreciate a lot. Just a question: when you make jib shot with gimbal, you said you hold trick button and it’s ok, but which DJI mobile 6 mode you selected before? Thanks and keep on posting video like this 👍
Thanks for watching Dario! I used follow mode :)
Best presentation ever! ❤❤❤👍👍👍
Thx!
Very practical
Thanks for this great video! I've just got a Galaxy S23 Ultra and am considering switching from my DSLR to my phone to record 4K videos. Think I'm getting one of these.
Glad it was helpful! Sure, besides the great quality that it produces, phone have other advantages as well :) Have fun filming.
Your video is not just about the gimble, it can be actually used like a tutorial to learn how to make nice shots :)
Thanks!
You are awesome. Subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
How you got that from sliw to fast effect through the tunnel upward ?
what a co incidence, i have wathed your videos earlier also and the moment me and my brother were discussing what is need of gimbal and how difference it is from handheld, boom, I found this video
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the content :)
Interesting. For many, life is not about “I need” it’s often about “I want” you are clearly an experienced video man. I suspect many (Inc me) would not achieve hand held outcomes that you do. Yes, of course a gimbal involves a learning curve. That’s said so does hand held filming. A gimbal often has pre programmed, reccomend Ed filming modes, shortening in part the learning curve. So, me (my humble thoughts) I’d say a gimbal is a very good economical start for a newbie. Can always, as you learn, of course, whip your phone out quickly and take shots, take vids. A gimbal, and it’s settings similarly even teaches you how to make the shots, the moves. Gdi Osmo 6 I think is their most up to date model…… it’s hardly expensive. Good vid though, thank you. New follower😁 best regards.
Thank you so much!
As your recording the footage you are recording is bouncy handheld but in the playback we see its smooth no bounce. Is there a steady feature on your editing software? I mean I know you can use, I believe Warp I think to steady footage in Premiere Pro? I just want to ask if you know of a way to stabalize already decently stable footage that doesn't warp around the edges.
Really helpful bro..
Glad to hear that
My hands are a bit shaky while recording hand held . The insta flow has been good to me . If I need it I’ll pull it out . I like the tripod feature and tracking system
Glad it helped you get steadier footage
hi just wondering which app do you use full screen for your videos
Which platform of music effect you are mentioning?
Awesome!
Thank you!
Great job there!
Thx!
Great video, thanks 🤩
Quick question how can you lock your camera to twist with your movement 5:00? 😅
Thanks! You can setbthe gimbal to inception mode and use the joystick to rotate the camera.
When I turn my phone the image self-corrects so the image does not twist😢
Excellent presentation! I have used the DJI gimbal 3, 4, and 5 but still I shoot 95% handheld becaused it’s so ridiculously easy.
Yes there is a learning curve required to using a gimbal. I enjoy shooting handheld especially if I want that handheld look which creates more realism into the video :)
it looks to me that the video editing software limited a lot of the shake ? as the initial raw recording I could see a lot of the shake I would be far from happy with ?
@@Acconda If I understand the iphone 14 correctly, the stabilization is processed afterwards, when saved in the camera roll
If you compare the screen record and final shot, basically you will see that without a gimbal, you need to cut the edges of your video, and shaking will be reduced. Also, you need to be steady while filming it.
Why would you need cut the edges? The settings and results are basically the same in both examples right? Just genuinely curious tho
@@licht6383 because with gimbal he was more fast moving the scene. Notes it.
@@grillodon thanks!
amazing content!
Appreciate it!
Wowza! Will be using your handheld techniques while I save up for a good gimbal :P
Very informative video!
Do that, thank for watching 💯
@@BenettGraezer I did it 🤩
th-cam.com/users/shortslJ7XIeLpR0w
Looks great! Keep it up
❤ thank you 🙏
Anytime :)
Bro.. Which Gimbel is best for i iphone 13 pro max..?
Nice, i like the video. I wonder you set action mode as well when you shot it by hand?
No haven‘t used action mode
@@BenettGraezer thanks for the prompt reply! Thats nice if you havent used it.
bro dope saw ur also in siwtzerland gotta link up
I am, thanks buddy 🙏🏻
Would you recomend this for train spotting i'm currently using a camcorder with a tripod but thinking of getting rid of all that and use my phone instead
Great video! Question: do you record in PRORES??
No Never really :)
I'm new to working with video and recently purchased an Insta360 gimbal that I need to practice with some more, but so far I have found it very unpredictable and fiddly in use. I'm having a much better time using a smallrig universal cage with a couple quick release handles.
Thanks for sharing your experience 👍🏻
Did you have an anamorphic lens on the DJI 4 ? That’s what I’m looking for a smartphone gimbal that can handle a a anamorphic lens.
Thanks
You can use an anamorphic lens with the OM4 howver you will need counterweights that you can purchase on amazon (there should be a 1/4 screw hole on the role motor)
I am just about to start learning video. the initial recording such as the wall and the ruin, the hand held footage whilst you recorded was shaky. The actual play back was smooth, is this due to software editing stabilisation ? also I noticed on the raw recording there was not black mark in the top right corner, the final playback version had a black line top right ? the Gimbal was definitely by far smoother while you was initially recording
generally, the live view is shaky on the iPhone 14 Pro with all lenses but the footage the camera does output is MUCH more stable.
Any recommendations for what quality and fps to shoot at. I have a s10+ but looking to upgrade to s23 ultra. Also are you editing back down to 24 fps in post?
Which transition you have used in your video can you please share the link or name of the transition
Its called a whip transition
Finally, I’ve found it. This channel is a gem!
Glad you enjoy it!
Were you stabilising the handheld shots in post? Some looked really shaky when taking them but smooth after
iPhone stabilizes the video afterwards
Very nice video!
Thank you very much!
hello. Please tell me the name of the song in paragraph 12:11 😁 Thank u so much
I understand that the program in which you edit the video adds additional stabilization to the shots taken by hand. What program is it?
Its final cut pro 👍🏻
What about something in between handheld and gimbal? A grip. Shoulderpod, Beast Grip or something similar.
Absolutely! A rig can certainly improve your handheld shots and give you more stability. Something like the Beastcage is a great option.
I've been wondering a lot for the past few days whether to buy one or not for my S23 ultra. Having one of the best stabilisation in its cameras and not planning to shoot any "special type", I think I'll pass to buy one. Thanks for the video. TH-cam recommendation does not disappoint.👍
You are very welcome!
I do both but again if you wanna runn for any action kinda shot get a gimble but if you do not just use your iPhone handheld,. practice practice and practice, btw great video buddy ! ❤️❤️
Thanks man 💯
Thank you
You are welcome!
Awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks 🤗
Amazing
Thank you!
What kind of set do I need to tracking and zooming
You don’t need anything additional. If you have the DJI OM 6 you can downlaod the DJI Mimo app and use the tracking and zoom feature inside.
thanks 👍👍👍
You are welcome!
apologies if this has been asked before but the preview footage on the handheld shots look a lot less stable than when we get the full screen version. Are you 'helping' it in post maybe with warp stabilization?
Yes I‘m helping with post stabilization
Looking at purchasing a gimbal for my iPhone Pro and found your channel. :) I did notice everyone seems to have the phone in a horizontal position, can it be filmed in vertical on a gimbal?
Sure works for both formats
This was better than Game of Thrones. Thanks man.
That 0.5x lens / sensor really gives much lower detail than the main lens / sensor. I knew it wouldn't be as good, but didn't realize it would be that bad.
can i have some sort of monitoring in another phone?
I'm actually new in smartphone filming, more like start learning it with video composing, color grading, whatnot. Was thinking to buy a gimble and considering about the OM6, in which your review video put a lil more convince on me to have it. Was about to click "buy" on online store then, I came to one of your point in that video or other video I guess; that most of latest phone has a good camera stabilisation built-in either OIS or EIS (EIS all-time-on in my case with Huawei P50 PRO + OIS). I'm holding myself to buy the OM6 thinking, that I should master the handheld first. What is your suggestion for a newbie like me? Can afford it, but don't want it to be waste if not using it then. Great video btw. 👍
I suggest you master you handheld shots and see if your happy with the results. If you find yourself not having steady footage you can purchase a gimbal and learn how to use it to get better results. For me a gimbal helps get steadier shots but that might not apply for everyone :)
Hi! I love your videos! I have an iPhone 14 pro max and I want to buy this gimbal (dji osmo 6) but I'm scared that maybe the iPhone is too heavy for the gimbal to stabilise properly, can you give me some advice?
Happy to hear that, thanks! For a more heavier setup check out the smooth 5s by Zhiyun 👍🏻
@@BenettGraezer thank you for your response! I check your video comparing both, my problem is that the smooth 5s is too big to travel :/
Thank you for your video it is very useful for beginners love from India 🇮🇳
My pleasure 😊
Well not everyone has such steady hands and footsteps. Plus you really have to be extra careful when handheld, alone the convenience make the purchase justified.
Mobile Gimbal still has a lot of advantages. It's a perfect tool for doing Walk Tour vlogs, imagine holding your phone for 10-20mins+. A gimbal is also good when doing reverse dolly shots. Also remember that Samsung's and Iphone's Digital Video Stabilization crops your video to make it smoother. The AI of Digital Video Stabilization also gets confused in low-light situations, so it generates a wobble effect when the AI can't distinguish the parameters. You can turn off Digital video stabilization when using a gimbal, this also improves the quality by 1/3rd. The major advantage of a Gimbal is the Production Time, Gimbal reduces the time in post-production.
Great input, thanks for sharing!
LOL i know that wildenburg we went there a lot as kids, that’s in northwest bavaria
Its here in Switzerland in Baar. There is one in Germany that had the same name :)
I love your channel ..❣️
Thank you!
nice teaching
Thanks and welcome
Bro you need to test cinema p3 camera app and make a video review off the app is a good app
Thanks for your suggestion, is noted :)
What app that you used to make more stabilized? the screen record is too shaking, but the results is so smoooth.
I also used post stabilization
@@BenettGraezer can you tell me more what 'post stabilization' is? I can't find it on google. Btw, thanks for your respond. Godspeed
Thank you… I need steady hands😂..Awesome vid👏👏👏
Happy to help!
the problem is, not everyone has a 14 pro with it's godlike image stabilisation
That’s true but there are still many ways to get stable handheld footage. Check out some of my other videos on stabilization :)
@@BenettGraezer can you recomend a gimbal for pixel 7 pro? dji cap the quality to 30fps, that is a deal breaker for me
Is there a gimbal with a hot shoe mount? I might use the rode wireless go system or the rode usb-c mic. What do you think?
Yes the Insta360 Flow comes with a cold shoe mount :)
Thank you!
wow! i learned a lot. subscribe❤❤
Thanks 🙏🏻
Hi, do you turn stabilisation off on your phone while using the Gimbal or leave it on?
I leave it on
I think i will invest in a gimbal. I have poor grip and shaky hands so im always scared I'll drop my phone when recording which knocks my confidence. I hope it helps
