Focusing on a Gimbal using AUTOFOCUS - Modes & Settings for CINEMATIC VIDEO - Sony A7IV, A7sIII, FX3
Focusing on a gimbal. Even with autofocus, there’s always a few shots that are hard pull off, especially if you’re shooting alone. In this video I’m going to explain the different techniques I use to nail focus when shooting solo on a gimbal.

It's been a month since my last upload! For those who don't know yet, I recently became a dad with baby arriving earlier than planned. I wrote a whole post about it on my community page but with all of this joy also comes a lot of responsibility and I want to be present and support my wife. Please bear with me as I won't be uploading again until end of the month! Thanks for your ongoing support!
