First time viewer of this channel - got to say, I love the calm nature of the video. You go into detail without speeding and for someone who is new to the topic like I am here that’s very important!
I have absolutely zero knowledge of these things (just saw an ad for a gimbal and I got interested) and this video got me oriented real quick. Thank you. 🥰
You dive into details so well without losing the viewer. I wanna start a career in shooting commercials and you explain stuff so well. Subscribed and will definitely buy the 14 Days film maker course.
Absolutely the best video for Gimbals. Thank you for the video. Couple of questions I am looking answers for. 1. If you are using a Gimbal , Is companion camera app the only way to capture videos ? Can you not use the phone built in camera ? 2. How are these effects (example : Dolly Zoom ) applied on a video ? Is it done again by the companion apps ?
got a Samsung S23 Ultra with a rather bulky but very sturdy case (not heavy), that is a bitch to remove and replace. which gimbal would you recommend, knowing that I'm NOT removing this case because a gimbal needs to balance itself against the phone's weight?
Was recently on a trip and talked to a fellow traveler about this. Looks cool, so I may venture in but I mostly shot photos with my iPhone 15. Great job on this video, I’m now a new subscriber.
so what if i dont use the mimo app can i use 60fps or do i have to use mimo for the gimbal to activate? i just dont understand why they would do that..
Thanks for this. I picked up an osmo 6, and that thing is SICK! Phenomenally capable! 14DF is still probably the best bang for the buck money of any kind I have ever spent, but it has a new competitor. And there is precious little competition.
Which dji application to use? some guides explain the download for android phones are no longer supported. I thought this was going to be something easy like plug and play, but turns out I have to create an account, and some other services. Well, gimbal is going back to the store lol I'll use my tripod.
Great video thanks for sharing 👍 I have just got the Osmo 6 and was wondering what mode you would recommend for walking videos, i have a Pocket 2 and use tilt lock on that but Osmo 6 reacts differently to p2
I finally know what that thingy on top is! Thank you for telling me what that thing on the Home M6. I kept seeing gimbal or vlogging videos but no one talked about that. Does any gamble or gamble app work well with IRL live streaming?
We love your content. You're a pro on camera, and the effort you put into what you edit together is soooo good. As a n00b, it feels like I'm at the base of The Great Wall of China looking up at the top in comparison 🤣🤣
Is there any gimbal where i can use my main camera to vlog and film my face while walking? In all self filming videos you are using the front camera why i cant use the back camera? And what gimbal alows me to let my case on my phone while using the gimbal that are two important questions for me. 😊✌🏻 A answer would be really nice!
Great video!! Can you please explain what you said from 6:00 to 6:12 what are all those numbers you talked about?? And how important it is to record high quality videos, thank you in advanced!
4k and 1080p refer to the resolution of the video. higher resolution = higher number = more detail = larger file. and fps means frames per second, which as the acronym explains - is the number of frames that make up an entire second. if you shoot at 30fps, one second of the video will contain 30 frames (30 individual images). the higher the number, the smoother the video. higher frame rates are very useful for slow motion. why? lets say you want to film something and then put it in 2x slow motion. with the normal 30fps, this would mean you have 15fps instead (2x slow motion = 1/2 the fps), resulting in a not so smooth video. however, shooting in 60fps, and then doing a 2x slow motion, 1/2 * 60fps = 30fps, meaning the slowed version of the video will look just as smooth as a normal 30fps video at normal speed. Hope i could help!
I have both the Hohem M6 and the insta360 flow. Unfortunately I’ve had to return the M6 to be replaced as the dial came loose and malfunctioned. I’ve been using the insta360 flow a lot more recently because of this. Hopefully I’ll have no issues with the replacement M6 which is on its way. Hohem support was really good at resolving the issue and offering the replacement.
Hey bro could you let us know how you guy with the M6? I really like all the features of the M6 including it's extra power but I quite like the extra length the 360 offers. Thanks!
@@izzyforeally the AI tracking is better on the 360 and it’s more portable. The M6 had a far greater range of movement and takes a heavier payload so is probably better if you have extra lenses or filters. The 360 flow works fine with the Rhode wireless mic. But no good with a shot gun mic. The Hohem app isn’t great at all. I never use it. But it works fine with other video apps.
My main concern when shopping around for a smartphone gimbal is I want one where I don't have to take my phone out of it's tough case. I have a DJI OM3 and it doesn't sit snug in the clamps unless I take it out of its case, that being said I don't want to accidentally drop my phone while the case isn't on
Hey, great video. Thanks. I am looking for a smartphone Gimble that will attach to my Jeep for off-roading, something to limit the vibrations but more keep it level as we go up and down rocks and hills. Any ideas. Suction cup or a mounting bracket type?
Well done, nice comparison! I have one question about tilt, the 2 lighter once look to me as if they could have an issue tilting without hitting the gimbal frame with the phone. Is that the case?
I notice you shoot in horizontal mode, which do you recommend for vertical shooting for content creation, and does your course cover composition etc for vertical shooting?
They are all great for vertical outside of the Hohem needing to be manually switched over compared to the others where you can hit a button and it automatically switches over. And yes our course covers it!
Going to Alaska wanted to capture better shots with iPhone I have an osmo first edition and she doesn’t work any more , watched your video and bang I ordered the om6 today hope I can learn features before trip . Does it do the dolly effect you described I didn’t see that it did on DJI site thanks again
Awesome episode Anthony! Thank you! I signed up to your course and loving it! Had my eye on the Hohem for so long but wasn’t too sure which one to get as like you said… They’re are loads!
Hi there, I am surprised that you haven’t considered the Hohem v3 vs the DJI and insta. Any reason why the v3 isn’t reviewed? As it has longer battery life / AI tracking module / metal tripod legs built in? I am considering the v3 vs m6. Any advise would be great!
Which one would be the best VFM Gimbal for Android (Samsung) to use for Real Estate indoor videos and Ultra wide angle videos are important for me. Pls advice
This has been very helpful and thought out video, thank you! As I'm looking for a cam that can track, balance and shoot some cinematic shots. I just started shooting cars and wanted something to easily start filming. But after the end of the video, I'm not sure if my Pixel 6 will do the job. It can shoot well in both HD and 4K, but idk. I'll probably have to think more about it, as I'm still debating on either getting phone gimbal or just save up for a DJI pocket 3. As I would love to shoot car rollers one day in a moving vehicle or mount the cam to my car.
Question, is it possible to set a gimbal on a tripod and have it set so that it moves around as im talking? (I am not walking with the gimbal, it sits on the tripod following me as I do talking reels? Or would i have to have someone film me?
Please I have the DJI, how do i connect both a mic and Angelbird - CFexpress B Recording Module - Raven Black(external card) to my IPhone 15 since it has just one usb-c port ?
I need a simple not to expensive gimbal for my sister to video some of my nieces softball games to share with family. Just short play vids not an entire game. Any help you can give helps.
Is there any gimbal can remote by other phone using app to controlling camera angle? im was thinking to place a gimbal with phone on high place, and then control(with another phone) the gimbal to adjusting the camera angle? is this Implemented?
Hey bought your course and love it! Great value. I’m buying the canon r8 per your recommendation but the gimbals you recommend aren’t compatible. Any suggestions?
Yes these are all smartphone gimbals. I would get the whichever DJI gimbal fits into your budget from their site! Personally I use the DJI ronin s which is old but still works perfectly
I have a Galaxy Ultra 24 and I bought a DJI gimbal. When I got the gimbal I set it up only to find out that DJI and Galaxy do not communicate. This was about 3 years ago. So I gave the gimbal to my daughter who had a Apple phone. With that being said what would you recommend for an Ultra 24 what would be good with an the Ultra 24?
Thank you for this video, very informative. I just subscribed to your channel, but I am still unsure as to which gimbal will work with our Samsung Z fold 3......we definitely will need a light and mic. Any suggestions would really help, we are completely new to this.
So I do pressure washing and I'm trying to start doing more content. I am solo most of the time and I'm looking for something that will be a wide view with a little bit of tracking on me but be able to keep the building in the picture. What type of lens gimbal do you suggest?
Thanks for an awesome video. Need some advice. I'm considering DJI and InstaFlow options you mentioned in your video but I've got a few concerns. I'm using Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (I think I noticed you've got S23 in your videos which is almost the same), and I'm planning to use it with a tiny Boya bluetooth mic (I've got the one you showed in your other video) which is mandatory. I've also considered situations where I might want to add a small light to the setup. I saw some small lights that can be clipped on top and bottom of the mount. Would this setup be too heavy for the small ones you recommended? Also, one thing I was considering was occasionally using teleprompter app on Android like Bigvu. My concern is that I'd lose the auto-tracking function with the 2 cheaper options you recommended, since they require using their own app for that. So, I guess I'm left with HOHEM M6 then which would require carrying a bag with me I guess. Any advice would be much appreciated.
I have a question, those gimbals doesn't work in vertical mode, just in horizontal ? because I have an Aochuan gimbal but I need to change it manually but when I'm using the app it changes automatically to horizontal mode

Oh really. Can u share me a link. Or exact name of product please
What's the link mate?
@@EverythingManchesterUnited , AliExpress, gimbal.

If anyone that wants to know what a gimbal is and which one to buy this video is a one stop shop. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

What did you end up doing? I'm currently in the same boat.
What did you buy? Same here!
Same here lol
Just came here to say how much we appreciate this video of yours.
Smart features are available in both insta360 flow and DJİ?
For filming city walking tours etc, which mode would you recommend on OM 6?
Was recently on a trip and talked to a fellow traveler about this. Looks cool, so I may venture in but I mostly shot photos with my iPhone 15. Great job on this video, I’m now a new subscriber.

What an insanely informative video, perfectly sectioned and explained out. Thank you

so what if i dont use the mimo app can i use 60fps or do i have to use mimo for the gimbal to activate? i just dont understand why they would do that..
Thank you sir very well explained and understood, have a great rest of your day
Thanks for this. I picked up an osmo 6, and that thing is SICK! Phenomenally capable! 14DF is still probably the best bang for the buck money of any kind I have ever spent, but it has a new competitor. And there is precious little competition.
@bgmcc907 Keep in mind the Mimo apps, EIS is disabled in 4k60 big issues in my opinion when choosing the osmo 6.
very useful! Do they work also if I puy my iphone inside a waterproof case (not the bags, but a specific case that perfectly fits the phone)? Thanks
Another youtuber said the hohem can't balance a portrait lens... is that true?
Hi Anthony! Thank you so much for sharing! Very useful video:)
Thank you!
Which dji application to use? some guides explain the download for android phones are no longer supported. I thought this was going to be something easy like plug and play, but turns out I have to create an account, and some other services. Well, gimbal is going back to the store lol I'll use my tripod.
Thanks for this info. I am not into video recordings but still photography. Will the Gimbal also work with still photogrphy?
Great video thanks for sharing 👍 I have just got the Osmo 6 and was wondering what mode you would recommend for walking videos, i have a Pocket 2 and use tilt lock on that but Osmo 6 reacts differently to p2

Amazing video! Thanks for providing such a detailed and easy-to-follow explanation. Hope you had a wonderful experience with the DJI Osmo Mobile! 🥰
We love the Osmo!
How about iSteady V3?.
Sooooo where is the recommendation for those who want to mount various accessories?
This is an incredibly valuable and well done video. Thank you!
Is there one for recording in the car? While moving, a lot of phone mounts don’t allow smooth stability. It’s hard trying to find one for car use.
New photo button on 16 promax is big issue for gimble use.Gimble's clamp presses the keys.Which is the best for 16 pro max?
sir I have a que can u record pro res log with external ssd on 15 PRO 128GB SPEC plz tell
Yes for 60fps you need an SSD but you can skip that by using black magic camera app so that it'll record in internal storage.
is the DJI OSMO Mobile SE Athens Gray worth it then for car filming?

And what gimbal alows me to let my case on my phone while using the gimbal that are two important questions for me. 😊✌🏻 A answer would be really nice!
Just one question, with the Hohem, where would you plug in the receiver for a mic? I see the port gets covered by the gimbal

How about compare Hohem M6 with Zhiyun 5s AI. Which one is better?
Hi brother, I couldn't fix neewer s24 ultra rig cage in hohem isteady m6.

You can’t use the Blackmagic app on the flow and dji while use tracking right?
Correct

Do any of these accommodate volume buttons on the side of a Pixel 7 pro? It's sort of in the middle of the phone .
Great video! Concise and to the point. New to your channel. Ty!!!
Can you attach the gimbal on a car dash or windshield ?
Could we use the own camera app of android phone just in case the gimbal's app is not supported to the device?

My Samsung s24 can flim in all those frames you're saying it can't. I use the hohem iSteady V3 Gimbal
Yeah only the other gimbals restrict the frame rates. I mentioned that in the video
How fast is the tracking accessory on the OM6? Have you ever used a Pivo Pod X for self tracking?

Just curious, why did you do the run trst when you never showee the results?
It can be seen if you observe 😊
Hi there, I am surprised that you haven’t considered the Hohem v3 vs the DJI and insta.
