Gimbal 101: How to Create Beautiful Camera Movement using your Gimbal

Gimbals are everywhere! And it seems like almost every video creator will tell you at some point to buy a gimbal but is it as easy as just throwing your camera onto the gimbal and running around? Well... not exactly. There are quite a few important lessons that you need to know before you start filming with a gimbal.

This course is aimed at anyone that is new to the world of gimbals. I start off by talking about why you should use a gimbal, then I cover the setup, balance and calibration process. I then explain how to hold your gimbal to get the best shots and then run you through a list of camera moves that will give you dynamic shots. Then we're jumping into gimbal accessories (focus and monitoring) before finishing up with top tips when using a gimbal. 

It's tempting to buy a gimbal, throw your camera on, power it up and get outside, but just taking half an hour to watch this course and spending a few hours practising and troubleshooting at home, you could end up dramatically improving your footage and saving yourself a massive headache when something goes wrong. 

So, grab your camera, grab your gimbal and let's get into it!
