- Here are 4 tips for shooting smooth and stabilized shots with the Blackmagic 4k or 6k!
Sometimes we don't have the $$$ for gimbals and stabilizers, these tips have gotten me through MANY shoots.

thank you. Thorough, practical and to the point.
Speaking as somebody who went down the gimbal route with bmpcc 6k, a few things. Forget small gimbals, RS2, etc. Not gonna work. You need a big gimbal, ronin 2 if you can afford it, crane 3s otherwise. Secondly, once it is on a gimbal, there is no feasible way you are both handholding that gimbal AND pull focus. You need both hands to hold it up. So either you bring an AC and wireless monitor with low latency to pull focus for you, or you need a rig to hold the gimbal up. That means an easyrig or steadycam, but not just the lightweight cheap stuff, you can forget Tilta float, not gonna happen. The easyrig vario (with the spring arm) or the Digitalfoto thanos pro X.
I totally agree. my set up is the flycam red king. I pull focus and then keep the same distance. I use focus peaking a lot.
@@RileFire I recently shot a wedding reception using the flycam flowline and spring arm, hanging the smallrig crane 3s ring of it. Attaching the nucleus nano wheel to the ring and the monitor towards the bottom of the ring worked well to pull dynamic focus. Only thing I wasnt happy with was the residual spring from walking and that I could not seamlessly take the camera between low/medium/high.
I went for the digitalfoto thanos pro X for that reason, and because I like to put the camera fairly rigged out on the gimbal and then things get… heavy. Not finnished that build yet, but I can see how mounting the monitor and operating the focus will be pain point. I might end up designing my own handle/controller to go on the yoke.
I just bought a BMPCC 4K and watched every single video on RUclips about handheld videography but your videos was by far the best one on this platform, your channel deserves more attention keep doing 👍🏻
Really appreciate it that! Thanks for watching, glad it helped!
Hello Manny great tips thank you. Good luck with the channel 👍🏻
thanks for watching! hope it was helpful!
This is great, thank you!
Great video Manny! Thanks!
youre welcome!
Very good video and absolutely correct. When we watch a movie, we want to be inside it and the camera handling is a very big part of it. It's shaky when the scene and the emotion demands, otherwise, soft movement or still is the best way to go, to have our focus on the characters and the environment and not the camera.
The weight totally helps in stabilization, paired with a heavy lens and the rig setup. Still for tracking shots, the tracks and dolly are ideal, unless you are showing a POV of someone following. Even for that walking POV, it can't have unstabilized jerks, so the weight perfectly lets you walk with a soft movement, giving the perfect focus on the subject and making us think we are following them on foot
Thanks for the tips man
Thanks so much. I can't afford a gimbal setup yet, and I only have a Crane S2... Which is too light for my BMPCC 4k rig. This vid makes me more confident that I can still get good footage at wedding shoots.
Most of my wedding films are shot handheld! and switch between that and a Fly cam red king. Been doing that for years! Izandlivfilms.com
Obrigado pelo video
🔥🔥🔥📽
useful video
Good tips, Manny. But you know me. I plop the Super 8 on a tripod and live with being stuck in one spot. 🎥🎬
Ain’t nothing wrong with it! lOL
👏👏👏
damm you really filmed the guy from black beatles 2:30
Thank you for your explanation, what Canon optics are you using? Is it stabilized? Thanks
Hi! not sure what you mean by the optics, but I use a canon 17-40mm f4 lens with a Metabones Cine lock adapter, not stabilized.
@@RileFire Thanks!!!!
Weird thought here, can you shoot at 60fps then on post render at 24fps, would that get rid of the shaking shots?
Nope, it will not.
Yea it dosnt get rid of the shake if you render at 24fps. Try to stay steady in camera, especially if you’re not gonna slow it down later in post.
No itll actually make it choppier. If youre at 60fps 180 degree shutter 1/120th of a second instead of 1/48th at 24fps the frames you render out will have no motion blur and actually be worse
yo manny, why the canon 17-40 over the sigma 18-35?
especially with the f4
Normally I’d pick a faster lens, but with the meta bones cine on the BM4k my 17-40mm becomes like a 20-48mm (forgive my math lol) but the adapter also brings my iris down to F2.6 which is perfect for me
Originally got that lens for real estate photos, but worked really well on my BM, still use it to this day
What right side handle is that? Looking for one but can only find the left side handles.
It’s by small rig
Are there any handheld shots that are not slow motion?
I would say the majority of the work on my channel is handheld, so there are definitely some shots that are normal speed and handheld.
Same principles apply, three points of contact, a good weight on the camera, and moving as one. In PR pro I stabilize a little bit too
Lol, square bear
Im a firefighter and filmmaker. When people cry about camera weight I die inside😂
