This is how you do a sponsored video; It's clearly showcasing Edelkrone's products, but is also really informative if you're not interested in the actual products. Props to you!
The trouble with these sorts of videos is that it makes me want to go out and buy new gear I didn't know I need (well want) until I saw the video. Very informative. Keep on trucking
This is the most informative video on Slider movements. Motorized or otherwise. Now you have me wanting an edelkrone. My bank account thanks you Gerald.
You are an exceptional presenter ...concise, effecient with your time and the viewers and it appears leaving no stone unturned...thank you once again Gerald....Cheers from British Columbia
The 60s Batman transition really hit my early childhood. Gerald, the more I watch your channel, the more you've become the definitive camera learning source for me. I'm certainly a rookie when it comes to camera work, but you break it down so well that it's easy to learn and gets me interested in trying things. Keep up the awesome work you do!
Appreciate the effort to make the tips relevant for those of us that don't have the Edelkrone gear, I haven't quite been able to pull the trigger on it, but I love how it all integrates.
Wow, who knew someone could do a sponsored video that was actually informative and still provided value-added skills without just hyping a brand the whole time. It's super nice in that the video accentuates what motion hardware like the Edelkrone can do without implying that it's impossible otherwise.
I ❤️ Edelkrone! Saving for some of their gear!! Edelkrone is the Best of the Best in its field and worth every cent! Thx for showing us these important Moves 🍻
This is one of the best youtube videos I have seen in the last couple of months. I really like the way you present a lot of information in a relatively short time without rushing it. I learned a lot, thanks for that
This was very informative, thank you Gerald! I remember my first slider, which was not a slider, actually. It was a rug that I used to slide my camera on a table. With that rug, I ended up with some best shots I've ever made. Then my girlfriend had a knee surgery and her hospital lent us a motorised knee training device, Kinetec - I think, so I went ahead and used that as my slider for a couple of months. It is very important to use motion with taste - and if you have a clear vision + ok taste, some of the most epic moves are achievable even with a rug. One main problem with motion control systems is noise. Unfortunately most of them are very loud and make it impossible to work with classical music live recordings, which I did a lot. But your video has re-motivated me to either find and buy one or to build it myself. Thanks! 🙏🏼
I started my day watching this video and loved it. First I want to congratulate you on how organized and detailed your presentation was. You explained everything in a very articulate way, very easy to understand. I love Edelkrone products and keep trying to get my department to purchase them. Edelkrone products are, in my opinion, extremely well designed and manufactured. They all have excellent build quality. My congratulations on an excellent video.
Great video as always. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the HeadONE get used as an app-controlled lazy susan before. Ever. Let alone that it has its own kit specifically for that purpose. What a world we live in.
Thx for the informative video. I assume that many of these camera movements can be simulated in post. Shortcuts for A.D.D. people: 0:45 pan 2:21 tilt 3:34 slide 4:11 truck 5:55 dolly 8:00 roll 9:19 pedestal aka boom ---- 10:29 racking focus 10:52 zoom 11:05 dolly zoom
Nice overview of moves. I like the clarification on the TRUCK. I believe that is it probable that this term derived from the the 'olden days' of cinematography when an actual truck, or a 'hand truck' was used to move the camera operator and camera along a rail to obtain this move? This is a simple idea, but help us remember what this term really means. As always ... love your videos. Helpful, concise as teaching should be ... with that little touch of cynical humor. Great job! For those who complain about Edelkrone's pricing, I sympathize. Yup, their gear is pricey - typical for serious video hardware - however you are paying for great R&D and products that work as they should, no compromises. Shooters should consider that, and Edelkrone might consider a drop in their retail. However, can't argue with the quality and well thought out gear. When you buy into their equipment line you are supporting this work ... and it is smart design! CIAO (Dorian)
Thanks for the video. I often end up using my gimbal for things like dolly in and trucking shots, so good to see how they are supposed to be done with the right equipment.
I love the possibilities that Edelkrone hardware provides. Being that it's Milky Way season now, I've really been wanting some motion control solutions for time lapses. Alas, responsibilities hinder my range of choices.
I really enjoy how simple you keep your set while demonstrating, allowing the viewer to see how the movements appear with the same objects. That Edelkrone stuff is awesome. I would completely nerd out shooting everything with it.
Flashbacks to college. We covered all of these and I use nearly every one every time I film a wedding. That product rotation would be great for showing off the rings!!!
This is one of the most informative videos I’ve seen in a while. I’ve been researching sliders for a few months now and the Edelkrone system tick most of the boxes on my wish list. Thanks Gerald!
Edelkrone... I noticed their sliders a few years ago and I fell in love with those unique tools. But owning one of these devices will stay a dream for quite some time... But it's always sexy to see those things in action ^^
I’ve spent my whole life wondering how that dolly zoom effect was done 🤯 Thanks for the info and for such amazing channel. I just keep learning and learning 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
All these products look great for video shooting when working on your own, it makes all these different movements so easy and the app seems very intuitive.
I just shot some b-roll using the GH5/Weebill Lab and it's not nearly as smooth as what the Edelkrone would have produced. As always, your videos are the best. Just straight in-depth knowledge for us nerds.
Some things that I would add to this is that it is good to mix up motorized movements with hand movements on sliders and with skates. Hand movements are often improved by shooting at a higher frame rate and making a faster movement (human hands are not well suited to slow movements) and then slowing the footage down in post to give the illusion of slow trucks and skates. As to a Dutch Angle, it helps to use a 3-way pan-tilt head because it is easier to limit the tilt to just the one axis than it is with a ball head. Skates are great because it is easy to jury rig a couple of tracks that can give way longer dolly’s and trucking movements than sliders allow. Technically there is only a few possible camera movements, but the art of being creative with them means virtually limitless possibilities. And when a camera move works out even better than I was hoping, it is such a satisfying feeling. And to those with a budget that doesn’t allow you to go motorised yet, and thinking the expensive gear will improve your work - as a general rule it won’t. Hand sliding and a skate can do 90% of what the expensive gear can do, and it takes years of getting creative with hand driven gear before there is any need for the extra 10% that the motorized gear can give. Good camera movements are more about being imaginative than having expensive gear.
This is one of my favorite new systems. Definitely trying to budget into the my 2020 gear budget. So many time in the last year this would have solved many a creative issue.
Trucks, Tracks, and Tricks - great video, man! I've got the HeadOne and the SliderPro v2. What was really nice was that Edelkrone updated both of them for me FOR FREE. I had the older models, and they just shipped me new hardware. Thanks, Edelkrone!
Gerald Undone Yeah, it was definitely a nice surprise. I got an email one day saying that I was eligible to send in my old stuff and they’d send out newer models. And the improved motors in these are much smoother than the old ones. How do you like the full kit? Seems like it’d be great for interviews.
Love the edelkrone stuff. Especially that you can buy the individual modules and that it's so compact, it fits easy in your backpack. It doesnt come cheap, but absolutely worth the money. It's on my wishlist for a long time.
That Rubix Cube dolly zoom was beauty
I liked it quite a bit too.
have tried it but it never looks as good handheld it must be to do with the sincing of zoom and fdlly together
Basically this is a 14 minute flex of that slider unit and honestly, I don't blame you. That's some serious tech.
This is how you do a sponsored video; It's clearly showcasing Edelkrone's products, but is also really informative if you're not interested in the actual products. Props to you!
Thanks for saying so. I tried hard to accomplish that so this comment means a lot.
Gerald you are an absolute treasure to the UA-cam film making community! Thank you!
Thanks so much, Jeff!
The trouble with these sorts of videos is that it makes me want to go out and buy new gear I didn't know I need (well want) until I saw the video. Very informative. Keep on trucking
I've never seen such a cinematic Rubik's cube. Motorized sliders are such a fantastic tool for single shooters. Great video!
😜👍
This is the most informative video on Slider movements. Motorized or otherwise. Now you have me wanting an edelkrone. My bank account thanks you Gerald.
😂🙏💜
Gerald Undone... The ONE Essential Camera Channel Everyone Should Know 💯
😃🙏🙌
Edelkrone movement at it’s finest!!
Get undone⚡️🙏🏼🎥
That dolly zoom is freaking awesome! Would love to play around with this.
Thumbs up for pedantry, robots and trucks. Your videos are the exact right amount of nerd and it's great. I've always wanted edelkrone gear.
Quite a little device. Love it when tech is compact without sacrificing too many features.
I've been drooling over the Edelkrone line for quite some time. Also, keep up the great content, pal. As the kids say, You're killing it!
Cheers, Norm! Thanks.
Truly one of the best tech educational content on youtube! Really appreciate your work!
Thanks so much! That's very kind.
You are an exceptional presenter ...concise, effecient with your time and the viewers and it appears leaving no stone unturned...thank you once again Gerald....Cheers from British Columbia
Thanks so much! Really appreciate that, Bruce. Cheers!
I love how versatile and buildable edelkrone’s stuff is! Wish it wasn’t so expensive!!
I’m currently saving up for the ONE to use on my first solo film 👍🏼🙂. Great job Gerald
It’s important to never make eye contact with anyone while eating a banana in public.
Great video!
The 60s Batman transition really hit my early childhood. Gerald, the more I watch your channel, the more you've become the definitive camera learning source for me. I'm certainly a rookie when it comes to camera work, but you break it down so well that it's easy to learn and gets me interested in trying things. Keep up the awesome work you do!
Thanks, Bentley! That means a lot. Really appreciate that. And glad I could bring you some nostalgia.
Appreciate the effort to make the tips relevant for those of us that don't have the Edelkrone gear, I haven't quite been able to pull the trigger on it, but I love how it all integrates.
Thanks, Sean! Appreciate that.
Can’t wait to use the slider as an overkill way to bring snacks closer to me! Oh and to get awesome shots...
Another great video Gerald🙌🏻
Great edelkrone product video.
I need to try them out!
I love how your videos go right into the topic quickly and you are able to cover a lot of information quickly and clearly!
Thanks, Joe! Appreciate that.
I need a head one to go with my edelkrone slider!
Great presentation and demonstration on the "Moves". And, very nice gear for the movements.
Thank you!
God damn I'd love to win a golden ticket to the Edelkrone Robots From the Future Factory
Wow, who knew someone could do a sponsored video that was actually informative and still provided value-added skills without just hyping a brand the whole time. It's super nice in that the video accentuates what motion hardware like the Edelkrone can do without implying that it's impossible otherwise.
Thanks for saying that, Joshua! That's exactly what I was hoping for. Appreciate this.
I ❤️ Edelkrone! Saving for some of their gear!! Edelkrone is the Best of the Best in its field and worth every cent! Thx for showing us these important Moves 🍻
Your videos are always straight to the point. Love it👍 Keep it up😉 Btw. those Edelkrone products are awesome. Would love to use them.
I loved it! as usual, I learned something new, and that Edelkrone stuff looks dope! loved it!. Keep up the great work.
Those edelkrone future robots looks amazing and extremely useful
This is just awesome, love how the modular ecosystem works so well
Man I’m so sad these are so expensive :(
These would be amazing for Milky Way timelapses
Dope tips as always my guy. Yea Edelkrone is nice but expensive
This is one of the best youtube videos I have seen in the last couple of months. I really like the way you present a lot of information in a relatively short time without rushing it. I learned a lot, thanks for that

Gerald: now we’re gonna use the edelkrone ...
Me: Looks at my wallet
😂👍
Me: looks at your wallet. You have a wallet. I sold my wallet already.
Next intro. Don't fake the funk on the nasty dunk.
Hahaha. 😂💜👌
Definitely something I could see myself using as I increase my video production skills!
That dolly zoom was next level amazing!!! Nice adaptation connecting to the zoom ring!
Start video with: "I'm Gerald Undone and I do the cha cha like a sissy girl"
The way you explain things is so clear and thorough I feel like a pro before even getting my hands dirty. I’m getting things done with Undone!
😃🙏
A slider is definitely the next piece of gear on my list to help continue building my freelance business. Love the video man!
I started my day watching this video and loved it. First I want to congratulate you on how organized and detailed your presentation was.

Edelkrone products are, in my opinion, extremely well designed and manufactured. They all have excellent build quality. My congratulations on an excellent video.
Thanks a lot, Maria! That means a lot. Really appreciate this comment. Cheers!
When Gerald uploads a video you know you’re going to learn something.
😃🙏
That's what it's called; dolly zoom! I may come back to this video to learn some of this whenever I get this kind of equipment! 😁
The flexibility those gadgets give you is inspiring!
Great video as always. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the HeadONE get used as an app-controlled lazy susan before. Ever.
Let alone that it has its own kit specifically for that purpose. What a world we live in.
I know, right?! 😃👌
Good to see one of the best camera gear reviewers putting the Edelkrone system through the paces. Always been intrigued by their products.
Exactly repeatable motions like this are suuuuper useful for VFX. Gerald, please, it's actually my birthday.
Thx for the informative video. I assume that many of these camera movements can be simulated in post.
Shortcuts for A.D.D. people:
0:45 pan
2:21 tilt
3:34 slide
4:11 truck
5:55 dolly
8:00 roll
9:19 pedestal aka boom
----
10:29 racking focus
10:52 zoom
11:05 dolly zoom
Let the robot uprising begin! Excellent video!
MTF charts, Moco, bitrates, Nikon Z6... who needs film school... glad to see the channel growing. Looking forward to more videos.
😃🙏

Excellent video and discussion - reminds me of the Bruce Lee Quote . . . "What is true stillness? Stillness in movement."
Thanks for the video. I often end up using my gimbal for things like dolly in and trucking shots, so good to see how they are supposed to be done with the right equipment.
I am sorry that I do not shot videos, but I do find all your video so informative, with the very good presentations you do. So a big thanks.
Thanks, John!

Great job not only explaining what each motion is good for , but also showing how you can execute them with these products!
The most underrated UA-camr
Flashbacks to college. We covered all of these and I use nearly every one every time I film a wedding. That product rotation would be great for showing off the rings!!!
I find myself watching more and more of your videos. I like the pacing and clarity, and feel like I learned something. Well done!
Awesome! I'm glad. Thanks for saying so, Jason!
Brilliant! Never thought about these different camera movements but now that I think about it I recognise them especially in older film movies. Jer
AMAZING
DONT HAVE WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOUR WORK
Always so eloquent in your delivery. You make me want to buy everything.
Awesome Video!!! I love how deeply you go into all the different motions and explain them in your usual thorough way!
love the parallax effect with the dolly zoom. Thanks for reviewing these camera movements. Great channel.
Thanks, Mark! Appreciate it.
High quality content, always very detailed and in depth, that’s what I like. Great channel, keep up the excellent work!
So trucking educational! Another great one Gerald.
Haha. Thanks!
This is one of the most informative videos I’ve seen in a while. I’ve been researching sliders for a few months now and the Edelkrone system tick most of the boxes on my wish list. Thanks Gerald!
Thanks, David! Cheers.
Edelkrone...
I noticed their sliders a few years ago and I fell in love with those unique tools.
But owning one of these devices will stay a dream for quite some time...
But it's always sexy to see those things in action ^^
Loved the Bat-transition!
😃👍
I’ve spent my whole life wondering how that dolly zoom effect was done 🤯 Thanks for the info and for such amazing channel. I just keep learning and learning 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Awesome! Glad I could help. Thanks for the kind words!
Gerald you are definitely in my top 10 favorite UA-camrs now. Really respect all the hard work you put in and knowledge you share. Thank you! 🙏
The app interface seems so easy and smart!!!
All these products look great for video shooting when working on your own, it makes all these different movements so easy and the app seems very intuitive.
Homeboy you’re videos are on point. Thanks for busting your hump so we can all learn!
Thanks a lot! My pleasure.
I love the gear. The random eating was hilarious!
That was another great video. Edelkrone makes really great stuff! Good complete descriptions here. Should be required watching for people.
Thanks, Clayton!
I just shot some b-roll using the GH5/Weebill Lab and it's not nearly as smooth as what the Edelkrone would have produced. As always, your videos are the best. Just straight in-depth knowledge for us nerds.
That dolly zoom was awesome! Thank you for teaching us the correct terms 😁!
I'm going to save this video for future reference 😊.
Awesome! Thanks, Nicholas!
Excellent Job. Nice to see someone who actually knows terms like truck. :)

Once again, I didn't think I needed something until Gerald calmly demonstrated its value.
😃🙏
Definitely didn't mind this gear flex haha. The dolly zoom example was really cool!
These movements make Rubik's Cube look epic :D
These are the type of shots I've always struggled with. Great video!
This is one of my favorite new systems. Definitely trying to budget into the my 2020 gear budget. So many time in the last year this would have solved many a creative issue.
Wow. Expensive but does alot in creating smooth movements!
Trucks, Tracks, and Tricks - great video, man! I've got the HeadOne and the SliderPro v2. What was really nice was that Edelkrone updated both of them for me FOR FREE. I had the older models, and they just shipped me new hardware. Thanks, Edelkrone!
Nice! I was wondering how that update program went. That's awesome to hear.
Gerald Undone Yeah, it was definitely a nice surprise. I got an email one day saying that I was eligible to send in my old stuff and they’d send out newer models. And the improved motors in these are much smoother than the old ones.
How do you like the full kit? Seems like it’d be great for interviews.

Cheers for another epic video Gerald. Tied for most epic and underrated channel on YT with Josh Yeo. You two killing it.
Cheers, Travis! Appreciate that.
Man, really love how you cut all the chaff from these. Really informative and to the point. Love your work.
Awesome for taking timelapses to the next level! 😀
Edelkron is fantastic, high in price but the quality level is great. Simple I love it
Funny, I was using a rhino today and the contrôler was so complicated that I decided to get the edelkrone instead. I’d love to get that headone!
I will watch any pedantry-filled video but this one was especially informative and great. Thanks!
Haha. Thanks, Stephen! 😃🙏
Been drooling over this gear for a long time.
My grandmother just died today and the only thing that is gonna make me happy is owning a HeadONE. Love your videos Gerald.
