![Should You Use a Tripod or a Gimbal (or both)? [Filmmaking Tutorial]](/img/n.gif)
My take away from this...I need more friends.
😂😂😂
Damn true
Here's a tip for you when you're doing the car shot; when you moved from the tail of the car to the front passenger window, you accidentally filmed the contrasting closed window and the open window, so either use the camera to follow the feet of the actor through the ground clearance and up the passenger door, or just reverse the car so you would film directly through the passenger window without filming the back passenger window.
With the camera persons reflection in the window...
The car shot is gold! Great collection, well done.
Thanks so much man!!
totally agree. Have to do a complex shot assessment next week at University, definitely trying that car shot
That’s awesome! I hope it turns out well!
Yeah that was a great shot. Maybe having the back window down would have been better so you don't see the camera in the reflection. But yeah definitely going to try a variation of this for sure.
Thanks so much! I might do a part 2 on how to remove and prevent reflections
Great ☝🏼 finally someone teaching cinematography with a gimbal
Thank you my friend
I think people just got lazy with gimbals instead of use them to make the shots that could be achieve like a one man band
Thanks so much!! It was really fun to fill too, especially that last scene!!
That is a noble concept to teach ahead.. Very helpful.
Thanks for watching!
That car trick was goooold!!! Just subscribed dude, you are very fun to watch, keep it up!! :)
Thanks so much!!! And HUGE thanks for subscribing!!
My pleasure Sidney! And Daamn, just saw you gave your LUTS for free for end of 2017 haha Planning on doing that again any time soon? haha
Maybe later this year :)
nicely done Sidney.
Thank you so much Philip! You've been a HUGE inspiration to me all these years, so I'm kinda tripping out you just commented on my video! Thanks for all you do mate :)
*Thanks for the AMAZING tips!*
Thank YOU for watching!
that car handoff shot was moneyyy
Thanks man!!!
Loved the car one especially - very clever! Silly question... Can you use a normal monopod to achieve this? Because ive just ordered the crane plus and now I'm broke lol
Thanks so much! Yeah, I'm certain you can use any monopod with the Crane 2 :)
clever SN
Thanks!
I think nornal monopod use 3/8 size screw. Crane use smaller 1/4 scew. So you need buy a adapter. Then you will be fine.
Just ordered my crane plus. How do you like it?
The continuous single take of the girl driving off was very well done. Loved it.
I just ordered a gimbal. I had been researching for a few weeks now and your vids gave the courage to purchase. A Zhiyun Crane v2 is in the way!
That’s awesome! Have fun with it!
A lot of great ideas in here. It's crazy how just adding something as simple as standard threading on the bottom of the gimbal can make it so much more useful. Thanks for sharing!
Glad this was helpful!
damn each tip is progressively more intricate!
Thanks man! Yeah dude, I had no idea what you could achieve using this combo! Soooo much fun to film with!!
3:59 This reflection happened to me in our town's 48 hour film festival, and none of us noticed until the screening. Classic
Great video! Can't wait to try these ideas for our travel vlog! Our crane plus is on the way as well as the monopod :)
Awesome!! Let me know how it works for you!!
Awesome!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video Sidney! It wasn't just informative, It was a lot of fun to see!
Thank you so much!
hey man, thanks for the videos! just want to ask, since the monopod is made for the crane to (which supports up to 7 lbs), will it also be able to do that in real life? if i have a heavier camera such as 5d iv or 1dx, can it also handle the way you did it?
Probably, depending on the lens you use!
Awesome video man!!
Thanks so much!!!
Nice!!! Really like the breakdown of the cat shot excellent bro keep these video coming
Thanks so much!
Coool ☻ ☻
Thanks Zhiyun Team!!!
Put a monopod on my Zhiyun Crane 2 with 5dmk4 and 24mm L 1.4 mk 2 and the steel stud that connected and tightened the Crane with the monopod sheared and broke as I was doing a jib style shot.......and the Camera and Crane 2 fell on the concrete...........just the lens was damaged and a couple of small scratches to the Crane.
Oh no!!!!!!!!!!! So sorry to hear!! 😭😭😭
It could have been much worse, the lens, Crane and Camera all still function. The body of the lens cracked where the Crane baseplate supports the lens. I think its gonna cost about $200 to repair the lens assuming the lens elements do not have micro stress fractures.
Dude! LOVE that last shot, so seamless!
Thanks so much Aaron!
Last one is fantastic!
Showing the reflection of the gimbal in the car shot really breaks an otherwise awesome shot
Yeah, it was bummer, but I need to get the shot. I'm thinking about doing a "remove the reflection" video in the near future...
Sidney Diongzon Have you considered tilting the camera up for a moment to avoid the reflection? Or dropping the camera height to under the car window for a second?
I did that, but the composition wasn’t really balanced.
Sidney Diongzon Yeah I can see that. Still, if you were to shoot an actual project, I think breaking the illusion is more harmful to the final piece than temporary bad composition
Totally agree. Makes me want to try this again!
You poop head! I got shots with a REALLY similar set up in December. And I was going to do a video JUST LIKE THIS. But you beat me to it. Well played sir.
Poop head...LOL.
Bro you're hilarious lol. That last car of the shot is so money!
Haha, thanks so much for watching!!
The car shot blew my mind!!! Definately trying that with my crane 2!
Thanks! It was so much fun to film! Definitely try it out!
Great video. now I want a monopod. I'm broke. stop it.
BAHAHAHA! I never realized how much fun filming with a monopod is!
A friend of mine recently shot a musik video and he used the overhead desk shot you showed for the "DJ-desk" - From watching your video I feel like especially walking backwards could be a lot easier with a monopod for some reason, I struggle to walk smooth in general.
I'll be shooting "Portrait-Videos" next month with the sonya6500. I saw you filmed the a lot of similiar videos with the a6500 and the 30mm sigma. I have the 30mm sigma and the 18-118mm sony available, would you just stick with the 30mm for most shots? Thanks a lot! Love your channel.
Hahaha!
Post masking required to remove your handsome mug from the car window
The car shot definitely gets my mind thinking of similar types of situations. Thanks for the tips
Glad this was helpful!
Great thank u!
Glad this was helpful!!
awesome, now can you give me the gimbal, I have my own monopod
LOL
I may be out of line here but most of these shots you could do without monopod... if you are tall enough :P but like the car shot - not even that is required...
Probably, but using a monopod is really helpful to create those "jib" shots! Thanks for watching!
I was just hoping you did something really crazy that would make me just go and sell my dog to buy this thing XD I guess it's a good thing you didn't as I love my dog. Thanks for a video! I will shoot that car scene pretty soon I think. I just got my Crane 2, never had one before (only borrowed for a few shots) and need to learn everything...which tbh is annoying... wonder if everyone got that "wrrr I hate that thing" after first few tries..
Last shot with the car was epic 🎥🔥🙌
Thanks so much!!
That last car shot was awesome bro.. Only downside was that we could see your reflection through the car window. But you could easily mask that out on post. Great job dude. Thumbs up.
Yep, gonna do a tutorial on how to remove it!!
Been thinking about doing this with my Crane V2 but I wanted to make sure I could find something perfectly strong enough to hold it. This video is awesome man, great info!
The Crane v2 is great! It’s all about being creative with the gear you’ve got!
Really dope shots
Thanks so much!
I love videos like this, straight to the point.
Thanks!
I’ve done these type of shots with just a monopod to mimic the motion of a gimbal.Of course the makers could only face down. I’ll be purchasing a Crane 2 in 2 weeks and I’ll be trying this combo as well.
I'm excited for you! You'll love the Crane 2!!
INSANE!! lol I loved this video well done, really funny. The swivel of the chair with the turn of the camera reminds me of how people do those musical.ly's hand movements.
Haha, thanks so much for watching!
Thanks, loads of fun !
Thanks so much! It was one of the most fun videos to make!
That car gimbal shot is so awesome man! Gives me more ideas! I'm getting mine in a few weeks. Super excited! Thanks again.
That’s so cool! Thanks for wstching
Stunning shots Sidney
Thanks so much!!!
Great behind the scenes of how to get those shots, thank you! More please!
Quality vid. 🙌 Defo trying those out. Thank you 🙏
Thanks so much!! And thanks for watching!!
Is this monopod can be use also for mobile gimbals like zhiyun smooth -q?
what focus setting are you using usually when using crane.. auto or manual?
Auto’
Loved this!!!
Thanks!
That car sequence is amazeballs!
Thanks so much! It was so much fun to film!
That long car shot was wayyy to badass.
Haha, thanks man! It was super fun to film!
Thank you, these re great tips! Could you get rid of the refection in the rear window in post? Still learning and maybe this question has been answered already?
That last shot got me all tingly inside! Dang great video!
Thanks so much man!
Sweet tips! Totally using this on our next shoot!
Awesome! Glad this was helpful!
This video had me drooling. My favourite was #4.
Thanks! I’m gonna do a part 2 soon!
and YES, you ARE good! I"ve tried thise angles with a Gopro on a 3m long selfie stick... a little more shacky, but spared a lot on muscles ;)
Love your fun attitude. Gonna try the car shot now!
Epic work man! That car shot changed my life haha
Nice shots!

Dude, that last shot was absolutely genius. So well done. I loved this whole video, as per usual.
Thanks man! I've always wanted to do a shot like that. Blocking and timing is EVERYTHING!! Thanks for watching bro!
Cool and simple captures. Thx for the tips.
Thanks for watching!
the car sequence was a revelation! thanks man.
Thanks so much!
Hey no worries. I just got the Smooth Q and I'm already figuring how to afford the crane. I love the shots the gimbal allows for.
Nicely done!
Thank you very much!
Awesome ideas - thanks for sharing
Great ideas, man!!
Thank you!!
Nice!!! I have to try some of those shots.
These are soooo cool. Going to use them for my first short film
Solid work dude!
Thanks bro! I really appreciate it!
Cool! I’ll definitely use some of these in my next vid. Thanks for the tips!
And a really cool reflection in the car window at 4:00 😂😂😂
Would've been better (not given away the shot) if he had just rolled down the window. But still super cool shot.
Hi ... how do you keep everything focused? autofocus or manual focus combined with a high f ? Thanks
Autofocus!
love the overheadshot
Thanks! Me too!
Loving that car shot, definitely wanna take some of these as inspiration to use the Crane in new ways!
Thanks so much man! Yeah, definitely try it out!
That... last shot....was brilliant. Subscribed!
Thank you so much!!
Sidney Diongzon anytime. I just started off my TH-cam venture so I'm trying to learn from other tech vloggers. Love your style. It's fun ! Thank you sir
Some really great shots there.
Thanks John!
More of these!!
Haha, yeah I definitely will!
Not coming slow 🤣💓
what aperture are you shooting to keep subject in focus?
I usually keep it no higher than f/2.8. Really, it's the camera's autofocus that keeps the subject in focus!
Great job Sid! Really good tips!
Thank you!
These are freaking cool shots
Thank you so much!
Sidney Diongzon ❤️❤️
