Quick question...
Why crane three is not able to perform full range pov same like crane M2
As always great video bro!
Bit disappointed in this one. I thought this was going to be about focussing specific to using a gimbal - so how to change focus during a shot. It's actually just "put it on manual and turn the dial". The gimbal is irrelevant
Sameee Jeff. I thought this was going to be a video that talked about focus pulling while using the gimbal. I've tried it a bit but it's tough to get down. I suppose I should get the servo follow focus for my Zhiyun crane and GH5 though.
man what a waste of my time
Good work brother , always educating and teaching others .
Cool video, i only have a steadycam, but it was very helpful too!!
I need your help with an issue on my weebill s with my a6300. I like to connect the camera to the gimbal so I can use the focus wheel or hit the record button on the gimbal instead of the camera which is a pain on the a6300 BUT when I do, I lose the monitor signal from the camera to my 7 inch monitor!! I unplug the cable from camera to gimbal and the monitor is back. What am I doing wrong here. I have the camera set to movie mode, but... it does work if I use the P mode or the A mode but I don't want the camera making those choices for me when shooting so I want to be able to shoot manual. Please help me sort this out.
Hi Josh! Could you make a video how to use follow focus system mounted on your camera rig? Cuz I am using manual focus all the time and just curious is it helpful to use a follow focus for interesting shots
These are nice, simple and easy to understand lessons. Thanks! BobUK
sir..i had one zhiyun crane 3 lab. I'm using Nikon D750..how can i control the camera by the crane of the focus and zoom features ??
Can you tell me how to use zoom on the wheel of wee bills with Sony a7iii
great tips for me! thanks a lot!
Thank you for watching! :)
Josh, I’ve watched a LOT of your videos and have taken just as much from them. Two request for recommendation. What monopod would offer the most stability supporting a Webill 2, Z6II and a 24-70 2.8 when simulating a drone view? Is the Hollyland 300 Pro still considered a rock solid choice today? The 400S Pro lacks mounting options and HDMI loopout.
well explained!
I have the ronin sc with the followfocus system but it is so anoying to setup the followfocus system
Learning a lot from you, Bro. Interestingly, I tried this last week but this video just popped up today. Thanks so much for those great tips
I'm glad these videos are helping! Thank you so much for your kind comment :)
Momentum Productions You deserve every good comments, Bro
Very detailed explanation. My brother is Gimbal master !
Dude, it was funny!🤣
While using a gimbal and touching the camera at the same time effects alot the shot... i dont know but thats the solution?
First I thought well, it´s nice for sliding shots but what about moving objects...and than I read the text that was displayed close to the end ;-)
Thanks a Lot
why nobody talks about tab to focus on servo mode or half press shutter speed to focus?
Good subject carryon
this is simple. you have not people moving :)
I see that a moving subject tutorial is coming, but I don't see how that's possible without autofocus. I use manual focus for all my shoots, and the reason I haven't bought a gimbal is because you can't touch the lens without defeating the motors. Only way around that is a remote focus motor, and then you need a control rig, wireless transmitter, external monitor, maybe even a focus puller. And yet autofocus is unusable for anything besides a clean shot with nothing in front of your subject. Do you have any solutions to this predicament?
Focusing on a moving object with manual focus is difficult but not impossible.
First stop down the aperture and if possible add more light to the scene. Doing this will give you a deeper depth of field and make it easier to focus. If you are outside in broad day light this is easier since you can use a combination of ND filters and a closed aperture to get the desired look. If you need shallower depth of field, then put your subject closer to the camera so you can focus on them and make the background more blurry. Of course, this is harder indoors especially if you don't have lights, but there are plenty of videos out there with cheap light solutions.
Secondly, assuming you are filming a sequence and not doing run and gun, the second is to rehearse the scene and put markers on the ground for your subjects to move to. Make sure you always stay the necessary distance from your subject to stay in focus. It's going to be a bit harder on a gimbal since you are not going to always be 100% moving in the exact distance, but stopping down a bit may help with that.
Also, not meaning to sound too facetious, my final tip is to just do it! The more you manually focus, the better you will get at it. I would suggest maybe sticking with a fixed focal length (I only own prime lenses and my go to is my MFT 24mm Rokinion Cine Lens) and practice on that lens only for a while. You will start learning muscle memory on how far you need to turn the ring to focus at certain distances and you will be able to do it quickly, even in run and gun situations. Sometimes it takes a few tries but the more you do it, the faster and more accurate you will get at it.
The main message of 'use manual focus more' was gratefully received and I'm going to do just that. Another video that could be useful is suggesting that we all take control of exposure as well. Some of the best clips I've ever got (and stills actually) was when I took care to set exposure for the main subject only. Thank you for helping us out here to get better.
Nice vdeo
Nice tips. How to focus when pushing in and pushing out? It will be very helpful.
That will be in a future tutorial :)
🙏🏼 thanks
Got the same crane and love it with my a7iii and Zeiss 16-35mm f4. Sadly haven’t found a way to fix my distortion on Final Cut Pro without loosing details. Any tips ?
Don’t shoot any wider than 20mm :)
Momentum Productions thanks, I will try it for sure.
Distortion can be useful. It can be used to portray nightmares, dream states, the effect of drugs and or alchool etc
. Film isnt always about making everything look real and normal. I have a 14mm lens which can make the ordinary just a bit extraordinary
David Scott I agree, but for interior real estate video my objective is to have all horizontal e vertical lines straight has possible !
thanks for this tutorial keith thurman
👍👍
But how about run-n-gun when your gimbal is in dynamic motion (that's what this thing is design for?).
You didn’t watch the whole video :(
... or you can shoot non continue single point AF - touch the screen for your focus plane which is locked - recompose and then record and move.
Not all cameras have that feature.
@@MomentumProductions1992 True - forgot about that 😁. I have set my D750 to back button focus in video - so same principle just hit the BB button instead of the screen. Still a very fast way of working.
Are you using crane plus?
Yup!
I have a canon SL1 and kit lens
I injoy it toooooo much sir i have lots of questions how can i ask you?
Insta par chal ja bhai
@@s.k.m5898 ye banda reply nhi karta bhai....😅
Johnny WAS funny =))))
Funny 😅
Aaaaaaaaand if you dont have focus peaking.... ?
Digital zoom! What camera doesn’t have focus peaking? Lol
@@MomentumProductions1992 My Canon 700D for example. 😅 But I shoot film manualy most of the time. My 35mm lens doesnt even have an auto focus. Maybe its just an thing of trial and error and many practice. If you can work without all this fincy fancy technology, you can work everywhere with everything. 😂😂
@@MomentumProductions1992 My Nikon D7200 - I'm already have, and Fujifilm X-A7 - I gonna purchase in nearest future. So many cams without a focus peaking, dude...
@@MomentumProductions1992 a Canon 5D Mark IV does not have focus peaking 😂😂
What is a camera ?
yeah
Hi .
My name is Islam I work as a videographer and I was working for a while but I am very tired and sad because of my camera I was stolen and I am not working right now
Is it my assistant to buy a new camera or donate an old camera because I want to work again and I do not have the money to buy a camera
All lenses breathe when focus is changed. Some more than others. Focus peaking is not always red. Professional cameras let you chose a few different colors so that it will show up in different lighting scenarios.
The title says its about FOCUS on a Gimbal without autofocus. And then its all about general points that we know and have heard a 1000 times before. The title implies focusing while on the gimbal. Nice n slow and dragged out with unconnected material.
The title of this video is wrong.
Looks right to me
well this was kind of useless. I thought u were going to show us how to use manual WHILE shooting different subjects on a gimbal not just sliding movements .
Que tutorial tan innecesario....
