    Correction to the narration: At 1:45 the narration says, "During the time of the British, when old buildings were being demolished for the renovation of the port, it was saved from demolition in 1951 by the intervention ...." Actually, the year 1951 is post-independence and the narration should be corrected to read simply, "At a time when old buildings were being demolished for the renovation...."

    Beautiful video! Very nice soft movements. What tripod and video head are you using?

    • @srilankavideos6105
      @srilankavideos6105 Год назад

      Thanks. The smooth panning/tilt movements were not achieved manually. For the first and second pan/tilt shots I used a DJI Ronin gimbal set to a very slow panning/tilt speed with the gimbal mounted on a tripod. The second pan shot was filmed with the camera fitted with a telephoto lens mounted on a special panning device (Syrp Genie Mini ii), which in turn was mounted on the tripod. Though I didn’t do it in this case, the Genie Mini ii should be mounted on a video/ball head to allow tilting. I don’t think it’s possible to achieve this level of sustained smoothness by panning manually with a video head however steady your hands may be.

      @daseinhobo Год назад

      @@srilankavideos6105 Thanks for the answer! If you watch National Geographic films or any sports broadcast, most of the panning there was and is being filmed with mechanical video heads. Electronic devices appeared quite recently, and before that, for decades, everything was filmed exclusively with mechanical stabilizers, tripods, sliders.
