Fake a slider move with JUST the tripod..... While holding the tripod and arm.... balance the tripod on 1 or 2 legs depending..... Let go of tripod but hold onto the arm....now lean tripod forward and tilt the cam same time. Not the best....but if no resource and want to add little motion..... quick hack
THIS IS SUCH AN AWESOME FILMMAKING HACK. I shoot events mostly and the monopod has been my go to, but I’d never thought of a monopod with a Gimbal on top. You are a genius! I love this technique.
Technically, what you’ve done here is turn your gimbal into a jib, not a slider. On bigger shoots with big jibs, you can remove the arch by putting the jib on a dolly, and moving the dolly forward and backward in time with the rotation of the jib. But this is a good trick if you don’t need the camera to move in a straight line.
I am new to gimbals and I have been using mine with a tripod but without the tripod head. Now I will try gimbal attached to tripod head. Thanks for this one.
This is absolute genius! Thank you so much for sharing. Off on a 3 week travel video jaunt next week and was thinking of getting a small travel slider but now I can just use my Ronin-S & tripod. Job done. Thank you!
Interesting...... I often use the monopod as a dolly zoom by leaning the monopod back then forward. Works a treat if you can keep the camera level - using the gimbal would improve that shot immensely! Thanks for sharing
I have allways used a gimbal . I recently bought a slider and was disappointed to much gear to carry especially while hiking or mountain biking . Nice video.
Awesome idea, it seems like your threaded screw could snap off that's a lot of pressure there if you're using a medium sized camera with battery grip and a medium lens. Maybe not but I'd be nervous.
The distance will be changed as soon as you move it, even on the real slider. You would need to follow the pattern of a circle, with a center of it where the subject is, in order to keep the distance the same.
For product videos you could measure the center of the circle made by the tripod/gimbal system and place the product there, then shoot with he camera pointing towards the middle point. Then it will maintain the distance. Other than that, I'm afraid you will have to close that aperture in order to increase field
I have been planning to buy a slider for a while, but thank you for making this video. Now I can try to use the gimbal and the tripod to get slider kind of video
Cool! I always want to bring a slider with me but I never do... They're so bulky and only get used once in a while. I think this is a great solution to the slider issue
Jeven Dovey I totally agree with you on this . Thank you so much for responding to my msg . I have my TH-cam channel which is on automobile and travelogue . Pls have a look if possible and give me some tips to improve my video quality and production . Pls find the link below th-cam.com/channels/pq4pXQWRG3kZE2L-wJditw.html
Such a brilliant idea. Thanks for this! BTW, the thing on the bottom of the gimbal is a 1/4"x20 screw/bolt.Industry standard size/thread for mounting cameras, lights, etc.
This is a no-brainer! THANKS! I'd be interested in the pros and cons of using the video the Zhiyun phone App. vs manually. Seems like you could do both timelapse and slider moves with the App.
Excellent tip. My next purchase will be the Crane, but need to figure out how to make an attachment for the Karma Grip so I can also use this technique on it also. Keep this tips coming. Great job.
hi, i just wonder as u mentioned u bring always the gimbal whenever u travel? But that would be considered part of a hand carry or u have it in the check in luggage when flying ..
I also attached a screen (wired to the camera) with a clamp and arm to the crane arm and technically it works and let's you see your shot and make sure you are in focus, but it is very heavy and impossible to keep a steady shot. With a tripod this will work without question. Going to try attaching the clamp, arm, screen to the tripod. I will keep you posted.
Hi works, such a helpful trick to make a slide video. But i thought when u make a move with the tripod isn it the pattern of the movement like a half of circle? And how is the result of the video? Is it like straight move? Thank you.
That's awesome! I'm actually using a behemoth of a tripod with a bogen 516 head.... looks like I need to buy a smaller fluid headed tripod to take with me for traveling setups! Shared.
Super simple and it works great. I've always considered bringing a slider on our travels but can't justify the extra weight. However it is nice to get some slider shots so I think this is the perfect way to do it :)
Had a gimbal and wanted to buy a compact slider for my travels. Thanks to this hack, now i can save some bucks and forget about carrying additional equipments!! Thanks!!
Jeven. Don't have a gimbal yet, but am wondering about the "arc" or "bowing" you describe here. Do you think that adding an extension --- between the gimbal handle and the tripod --- might lessen the arcing effect ? Or would it just make it worse ? Seems like it would have to change the effect --- one way of the other. Thanks for an interesting video !
I'm just starting off, so I am currently only filming with my iPhone 5s in an Otter Box case. Is there gimbals or mounts that would work with my phone for smooth filming? Any tips and tricks would be great!
+LifeOfMitch yes for sure. Get a osmo gimbal for your phone. It will help out so much. I'm working on a video about iPhone filming tips that will be out soon 😀
Light weight or not, it’s still an extra piece of gear that takes up space. Whether or not the slightly better shot is worth that extra space and weight is an individual judgement call. Personally I found nothing lacking in any of the shots Jeven showed here, but I’m sure he left out some that weren’t as good.
Great video. Thank you. I just purchased a a crane v2 and use a Canon 5D MarkII on it. It does not work and I was ready to return it - just too much shake for a gimbal to have to be honest. But this idea looks amazing. Some of the first smart and professional looking video I have seen with the crane. Well done thank you again.
Just so happened to have acquired a gimbal recently - and just so happened to be looking out for a slider. Just so happened to have just watched your video. Problem solved. fantastic. Thank you. Just subbed too. 👍
What is your favorite filmmaking trick?
Still trying to find it haha
Yours. What type of tripod is that
The neck strap move is pretty crafty. No equipment. No problem!
Fake a slider move with JUST the tripod..... While holding the tripod and arm.... balance the tripod on 1 or 2 legs depending..... Let go of tripod but hold onto the arm....now lean tripod forward and tilt the cam same time. Not the best....but if no resource and want to add little motion..... quick hack
I was just about to pull the trigger on a slider and you just saved me some money! Thanks for the vid!
THIS IS SUCH AN AWESOME FILMMAKING HACK. I shoot events mostly and the monopod has been my go to, but I’d never thought of a monopod with a Gimbal on top. You are a genius! I love this technique.
Thanks. I'm going to give it a try. Can you recommend a good video ball head for tripods?
Technically, what you’ve done here is turn your gimbal into a jib, not a slider. On bigger shoots with big jibs, you can remove the arch by putting the jib on a dolly, and moving the dolly forward and backward in time with the rotation of the jib. But this is a good trick if you don’t need the camera to move in a straight line.
Great tip! I'll for sure be using this one! Thanks!
It works great! I used it this morning haha
This is absolutely genius! Thank you.
awesome idea! i just need a better tripod now!
I am new to gimbals and I have been using mine with a tripod but without the tripod head. Now I will try gimbal attached to tripod head. Thanks for this one.
Good one mate. Is there a way to do a in/out dolly shot with a gimbal? Cheers.
if using an a6500 for instance, do think that the weight of the gimbal/camera can be an issue for the screw/screw hole in the handle?
SVARA
This is absolute genius! Thank you so much for sharing. Off on a 3 week travel video jaunt next week and was thinking of getting a small travel slider but now I can just use my Ronin-S & tripod. Job done. Thank you!
It's crazy that I already had the gear to do this but never tried it. Nice work! Way to smartly improvise!
Freakin awesome! Faster, more affordable and more portable!
Why havent i seen/thaught of this before 🤦♂️ brilliant!
Same...
Interesting...... I often use the monopod as a dolly zoom by leaning the monopod back then forward. Works a treat if you can keep the camera level - using the gimbal would improve that shot immensely! Thanks for sharing
+Moira O'Brien gimbal will for sure help with your setup 😀.
This is a great idea. I will try this for sure.
what music did you use?
I have allways used a gimbal . I recently bought a slider and was disappointed to much gear to carry especially while hiking or mountain biking . Nice video.
Awesome idea, it seems like your threaded screw could snap off that's a lot of pressure there if you're using a medium sized camera with battery grip and a medium lens. Maybe not but I'd be nervous.
yeah that is a concern of mine seeing this
This is a great tip.
Travelling with a slider is such a pain.
I look forward to trying it out.
That's cool! I just got a feiyu tech gimbal for Christmas so I will definitely give that a try. Thanks for the lesson. Cheers
The only problem is that the distance change and thats a problem if you have a short depth of field. But can work fine in some situations :-)
I can see it being great for real estate videos.
Yes You are right there is problem in the changes of distance
The distance will be changed as soon as you move it, even on the real slider. You would need to follow the pattern of a circle, with a center of it where the subject is, in order to keep the distance the same.

Then it will maintain the distance. Other than that, I'm afraid you will have to close that aperture in order to increase field
@@ManoloFloyd same problem there. The distance change and the camera dont point to the middle point but forward.
master move. thanks

Nice. How about that camera? Is it sony a6500??
TAPP Channel looks like a Sony rx100 v
great tip! Thanks for sharing! Going to try this out in my real estate walk through videos!
Cool! 😊
Very cool idea! Gimbals have a variety of tracking modes and I'm going to try this idea on a jib. Thanks for posting this youtube.
Let me know how it goes on a jib!
Excellent tip. My next purchase will be the Crane, but need to figure out how to make an attachment for the Karma Grip so I can also use this technique on it also. Keep this tips coming. Great job.
+50Tube 😀😀
That’s a Great tip that I will be using!
😀😀😇
Good Hack, Thanks, never thought to invert that tripod, looks great!
Excellent idea 💡 👏
Super idea - simple and yet brilliant thank you
Very nice! Definitely will give it a try
Tip of the century 👍👍👍
hi, i just wonder as u mentioned u bring always the gimbal whenever u travel? But that would be considered part of a hand carry or u have it in the check in luggage when flying ..
I always carry the batteries with me on the plane but depending on where I'm going sometimes I put the gimbal in my check bag.
I'm definitely going to try this on my next shoot. I shoot HDR video on the rx100mk7
Nice idea. Thumbs up'd. But the down to top crane style shots (tree trunk) etc look like the same they would if done with just the gimbal hand-held.
nice tips you get there. thanks for the tricks. keep it up
Very inspiring...Thanks Jeven...
I also attached a screen (wired to the camera) with a clamp and arm to the crane arm and technically it works and let's you see your shot and make sure you are in focus, but it is very heavy and impossible to keep a steady shot. With a tripod this will work without question. Going to try attaching the clamp, arm, screen to the tripod. I will keep you posted.
+Anthony Suau I have a clamp with a monitor that I thrown on mine as well. Helps a ton.
Good idea. Thanks you. You save me some of money now!
Do you need a fluid head for this method?
Hi works, such a helpful trick to make a slide video. But i thought when u make a move with the tripod isn it the pattern of the movement like a half of circle? And how is the result of the video? Is it like straight move? Thank you.
Nana Wierd you see the result 😜. If you’re using a SUPER shallow depth of field then things will go out of focus but otherwise it works great
Great tip and good video. Amen to the idea of keeping your backpack light
very helpful! loved the idea, never thought about it!
Love it! Seems so obvious but I never would have thought to try that. Will certainly share my attempt :) Thanks.
+Lionel Dieperink let me know how it works for you. So simple but gets some great shots
That's awesome! I'm actually using a behemoth of a tripod with a bogen 516 head.... looks like I need to buy a smaller fluid headed tripod to take with me for traveling setups! Shared.
Great tip! I like it. Simple and effective.

Great idea we’ve tried it a few times and it’s better then nothing! What’s your favorite gimbal?
Great tutorial..tnk u.
Genius! Thank you for the tip! 🙌🏻
That is so clever!! I'll try it straight away tomorrow morning!!! 😃😃😃
Had a gimbal and wanted to buy a compact slider for my travels. Thanks to this hack, now i can save some bucks and forget about carrying additional equipments!! Thanks!!
Great advice, thanks
Awesome!
woow you just discovered ARC Slider. love it!
Great! Easy and useful)) thanx ))))
Cool!
Thanks for this tip!
i have the ronin s with blackmagic pocket 4k, focus motor, T5 SDD and external v mount battery...i think is a lot of weight...i still need the slider.

Hi greetings of the day
I am always watching your videos that is really helpful thanks for
Can I use that gimbal for canon 80D ...?
Thanks for that! Just saved me a small fortune! :)
This is a great idea! I’m wondering if that would work on a Zhiyun Crane 2 w/ a Canon 5D Mark IV.
what a dope idea man! Thanks :D
Nice one. Thank you.
Glad it helped!
Great tips. Thanks for sharing. Why I never thought of that. Thumbs up.
Cool idea - thanks for posting.
You can also make DIY sliders under $20 which can also break down and not take up a lot of room.
A neat trick... thanks for the tip!
Thanks for sharing. What a great idea.
Thanks jeven! This was so much helpful 😃
Thank you for sharing this video. this is really cool
Whoaaaaaa...great tip!!!! thanks for sharing🤙🏼
very good idea
very good idea!! Thank you so much. I would like to use it with you as a gimbal!! from tokyo.
Clever idea!
Great info!
Love the Tacoma tshirt. Not usually proud of T-town, but kudos to your vids and sharing. Helpful hacks.

Wow that's an awesome tip. Thanks
Thanks
A carbon fibre short slider adds hardly no extra weight to your setup and will give better results.
Light weight or not, it’s still an extra piece of gear that takes up space. Whether or not the slightly better shot is worth that extra space and weight is an individual judgement call. Personally I found nothing lacking in any of the shots Jeven showed here, but I’m sure he left out some that weren’t as good.
Jeven buddy, thank you 🙏
Awesome might just try this!
Excellent video! Thank you! At 3:06 there was a slight stutter is this dropping frames or editing?
Great video. Thank you. I just purchased a a crane v2 and use a Canon 5D MarkII on it. It does not work and I was ready to return it - just too much shake for a gimbal to have to be honest. But this idea looks amazing. Some of the first smart and professional looking video I have seen with the crane. Well done thank you again.
+Anthony Suau maybe the camera was too heavy?
this is amazing. thank you so much for making this video!
😊😊😊😊
Just so happened to have acquired a gimbal recently - and just so happened to be looking out for a slider. Just so happened to have just watched your video. Problem solved. fantastic. Thank you. Just subbed too. 👍
good idea!
Lovely video and well explained thanks!
Hay am indonesian... may i asking... what the type or brand your tripod.. thx :)
Great hack! Thank you!!
