    I’m 70 years old and have been a ranch and farm broker in Central Oregon for 20 years. During that time I have shot all my own stills and video for each of my listings. When I started in the business we had to rent a helicopter for aerial shots. Some of these ranches are large - 20K to 40K acres. So I had to get aerial shots. The DJI drone changed all that. I started with the Nikon D90 then went with Lumix starting with the G3. My work was only seen online when video came into play, and we usually used 720p. Now that I am getting ready to retire I plan on using all my gear to document the lives of farmers and ranchers I’ve met through the years. I still use Lumix and by necessity I keep it simple. I also picked up Parkinson’s Disease about 10 years ago so stability can be hard for me, although holding cameras has a really positive effect on my brain and also calms my hand tremors. Sorry to write War and Peace. I just wanted you to know that I find your content to be extremely helpful as I start this new phase of my life. You are a great teacher and I appreciate the time you take to pass along your knowledge. Many thanks - Jim in Oregon

    When doing the shoulder strap thing, running it diagonally across your back is actually much more comfortable for long periods than your neck. Plus you can drop your camera to your side if you need to get it out of your way temporarily. I've been shooting that way for years and it's great.

    Also, a tip for horizontal movements (i'm italian, bear with me xD), get the camera as close as you, "lock" your torso and put your legs where your camera movement will end: that way the motion is more natural and predictable since you start from an awkard position and end up in a more normal and relaxed position.
