  • In this complete glidecam tutorial I share my glidecam tips for getting super smooth shots. I reveal my top tips and tricks for learning how to use a glidecam, how to operate a glidecam and how to master basic glidecam techniques in a few days already. Everything is explained in details. I also share my humble beginnings. Follow my tips and practice every day and glidecaming will quickly become your second nature.

    Thanks for the info. I purchased my glidecam years ago and never really got to use it. I have a shoot tomorrow so I will be practicing today. I do think these glidecams give a more natural look over the motorized alternatives.

      @PatrikWestli 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@tomstrojnik Personally I like the "natural" feel it gives the footage, also I like how easy it is switch between glidecam and handheld. The gimbal epidemic that is going on these days have made smooth shots so accessible, but I feel like a lot of people forget the fact that you can actually shoot without a gimbal and a lot of the shots look too robotic in my opinion. I still have my Ronin-M and I use it for some things that the glidecam simply wasn't made to do.

    • @tomstrojnik
      @tomstrojnik  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@PatrikWestli agree with you! Both tools get you smooth shots but they create different looks and are best used in different situations... for example glidecam doesnt do well in windy conditions :)
      So I like to use both but it depends from what kind of a look i am going after.

    I really liked a free air of your projection. It was more interesting to watch your vid than others' ones. I bought a second hand glidecam HD2000, tried to adjust it with gh5s+sigma 18-35 setup..setup weight is abt. 1,7 kg spent almost a whole day. I just can not get a steady horizon if I spin it it starts wobbling a bit not spinning straight..if I circle it around myself (so that it faces same direction) it all nods a bit. When I walk it floats a bit, there is no straight skyline/horizon. Is that a feature? Or it is just a defect of a secondhand equipment and my twisted hands not able to adjust it properly. I watched a dozen of tutorials how to adjust the glidecam..all in vain so far or maybe I am too demanding.

    • @tomstrojnik
      @tomstrojnik  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sorry for late reply, I missed your comment. Thanks for the feedback. From what you wrote it seems to me that you didn't balance it properly... and keeping the horizon straight is all about skill and practice

      I like to use both. They create a slightly different look so it really is a personal preference. What kind of a look are you going after and what type of shots do you need. So no, not better - different :)
