Hey there. In this video I want to cover some of my favorite film making techniques with the ronin s. So let's get straight to it. Some of these require a lot of arm strength. So yeah, use two hands. Also be careful when walking through crowds. And if you're using a low aperture lens like f 1.4, it's a little bit harder and trickier to focus.

So be sure to pay attention to your flip out screen. If you have one. Make sure that you have a function like peeking on. So peeking will highlight in a certain color, the objects or the people that are in focus so it's a little bit easier to monitor as you're filming and walking. Okay, so this is our main position here I have to retract or just fold up the legs here. And I'd like to recenter the gimbal by just pressing twice on the trigger.

So this is your standard position. And if you're going to be filming like this, if you're just walking, you're going to be getting a bit of a bounce. So try, try not to be too abrupt when you're walking. Try this keep level. So one way to reduce the amount of bounce is the flashlight technique. So how I like to do it is I like to hold on the trigger, and then just let let the whole stick go down to 90 degrees, and then click the trigger twice again.

So from this position, I like to hold on the trigger while I'm walking. And I'll just go like this. Okay, so that's the flashlight technique. Now from the flashlight technique, there's a number of ways to do this, but I like to go down to low angle. So low angle while holding down the trigger, you can just let the stick down like this. And while it's in the low angle position, I like to flip up the screen if you have one, because you can then hold it like this, but you can still monitor the picture from the articulated flip out screen.

So I can pay attention to this and hold it like this. There's more than one way to do this. And this is just a couple of suggestions. When you're also doing the low angle technique, you want to make sure Depending on the lens that you're you're using that you are getting some of the floor in there, but it's also angled up. So if it's angled up, you can also see the people walking. So sometimes the camera lens won't point up, so you need to just raise it a bit, get it to the angle that you want, and then Leave it, leave it at that angle, hold down the trigger.

And then while it's in the resting position, you can angle the lens down. Oops, just do that a bit slowly. Okay, like this. So then I can walk like this. And experiment you'll find different techniques that work you can film on the floor like this. And then a nice technique I like to do is to go from The low floor position over to the flashlight position so you get a nice kind of a crane crane cinematic movement.

So from the bottom, press twice to reposition it, hold down the trigger and then just lift it up to the flashlight position. Okay, so now I'm going to cover some real world filming techniques, especially if you're in a crowded place like a night market, something like that. Let's just say that you want to phone backwards. So you can put it in selfie mode. Tap three times, and now it's falling behind me. So I can use this flip out screen if you have one.

And use that to make sure that you've got stuff in focus. Okay, and then you can even just tap record. And you can film like this while you're walking, right. So this gives you a different angle, you can hold it up high, especially if you're in a crowd. And you can just hold it up and get a really nice high angle view. And you don't need to get yourself in it.

So that's just one suggestion. Or you can even just hold it like this, hold it up high and then tilt the screen down so that you can still see what you're filming. Okay, so those are some some of my favorite filming techniques. There are a lot more that you can use. But these are some of the fundamental techniques that I'm using with the ronin s and give it a try. There's a lot more techniques and if I find More advanced techniques, I'll add them to the course.
