Do you need a lense lıke anamorphic or telefoto cuz they are really expensive do i need them?
OMG!!! I want this man to tell me a bed-time story every night!! That voiceeeee!!!
It’s good for a bedtime story but not for a tutorial video. 😭 How do i tell him & not be rude ?
IKR? Would love to have him narrate my videos lol
Uhhh??? 😱
🤣🤣🤣
You’re easily pleased 😂
tip 8 is very important most don't think about lighting it is KEY
What a fantastically informative video without destroying the main theme with excess amounts of tech talk. While it is important to know your gear and how it functions, at the end of the day, you are creating art. Well done, sir.
Knowing your gimbal is absolutely key. I love my OM4 but these tips are really very helpful. Thanks for this!
Seriously INCREDIBLE advice, I thought I was gonna see a typical gimbal video but instead I got excellent filmmaking advice
Thank you for this sir! As a novice and a hobbyist, I've found all of your tutorial videos most helpful (esp. the How To's with DJI Osmo Mobile gimbal and their Mimo app). So much appreciated. I totally agree with you here, that less is more - I've been guilty of using the gimbal too much. It's so samey. For instance, I now yawn every time I see an aerial drone shot, which is pretty much in everything. Anyway, thank you!
Wow!!!! Thanks for the tips this is really helpful for begginers like me in the world of cinematography. I bought the DJI OM4 but I hate the fact of being limitated to the settings they give me so I just open my normal camera app while connected to yhe MIMO app and Problem solved lol. Thanks for this video, it is actually very nice and well explanined. A 17 years old. Saludos desde Oaxaca, México.
Came for tips and wasn’t disappointed. Added bonus: unintentional asmr 💜
Yes, another excellent video. It's always the same, whether film processing, fisheye lenses, Cokin filters, photoshop filters or gimbal shots: content is king, a rubbish shot is always a rubbish shot whatever you do to it!
Thanks man I’m trying to learn everything so I can give the quality to my viewers love the content
great videos and presentation mate! got an OM4 a couple of days ago, learnt lots from your videos. thank you for sharing!
Top work as always Si👊🏻
Nian is one of the best movie I have seen. It is a fun and creative short film. And the fun thing it is shot on an Iphone 12 pro max. Its plot is very good.
I love these videos. They are very informative and educational. And you are absolutely correct. I bought a gimble and I thought that I have to shoot everything with a gimble. I'm learning a lot with your videos. Thank you again for a great content.
you do a great job of informing n educating ......thank you, I've learned a considerable amount
GREAT advice. Thank you.
I must say, you always make me feel joyful to shoot videos and nature
Seriously useful
Thank you for this. I was wondering how to best utilize my gimbal and this answered all my questions.
I subbed simply because your this video is so information dense and efficient that I didn’t realise it was 9 minutes long. Great work!
Wow sir , thank you so much for the tips
I jave just purchased DJI OM4
Your tutorials for gimbals are the best!
Thank you
I found that if I paired my Xiaomi 9T Pro to the gimbal, I could use the shutter button and zoom with the native app. The M button also changes between video and still shot mode. Wow! Thanks for putting me onto this!
I've just binge watched a lot of Gimbal youtube vids and your videos are by far the most informative and useful. Thank you!
thank you Zeke!
Brilliant as always. Your the man.
Thanks for making this video, 👌🏻
Thanks for the tutorial
Very good! Especially in such a short video.
Very good tips
These are some really great tips, thanks for the great detailed video! I really enjoyed it :)
Great tips, and thanks for sharing.
Woa... this is why filming is an art form :)
Thanks I've been watching several; of your videos, all of them really interesting!
man I want to say thank you for the time and how you explain the topic, I was a little lost and kinda' regreting the purchase but now I'm more interesting on think and apply the tips you'd share. Thanks again and greetings from Colombia!
Thank you, that was informative
What a brilliant video!! Subbed!!
Great advice! Lynn and Danny
Thank you for this informative video about gimbal
yep I never use the gimbal apps I don't like them but the smooth 4 works with filmic pro used to love using it
@Patrick Levar have you tried the Smooth 4 with a Moment lens and ND Filter? Funny thing....I found your channel earlier today. Nice work 😁
Thanks for guiding...
I'm hoping to film an adventure tomorrow and putting all your tips and tricks to the test. Wish me luck 😁👍
Have great shoot my friend!
Thank you so much for the tips
Very interesting story
Insightful as always, even including the 'yh, why do/don't I do that' thought level 😀👍 interesting guy
Thank you so much your video is very useful!!!
thanks for the android tips, nice audio
To the point 🔥
Nice. Thanks
Nice tip, thanks 😊
Thankyou ✌️👍
İ enjoy these vids so much i just watched your 40 min vid on background just to help u with the algorithm
Legend! thank you
Great video. What is the best iPhone 11 camera add on in your experience?
Mam I wish I would have seen this before buying an OM4. Saw another video saying it was a great accessory for the s21 Ultra but it doesn't even use the phones full capabilities. Great video!
ME TOO !
Love it!! Again, very very useful info! Will use it for my videos :))
How to use a Swiss German gimbal?
@@SiHorrocks ja genau! Swiss German ones are the most delightful ones.
Nice
Thank you for such an informative video
Can u suggest which gimbal to buy for OnePlus 7t planning to use with external lens
Thank you
Thank You ... 🔥⚔️🛡️
Enjoyed this video and there were some great tips. I am most guilty of not planning the shoot ahead for editing purposes. However, I am more a vlogger so it's possibly not as important.
Hey Simon! Love all your videos! Is there any way I can get you to look at my unfinished short film and get any tips? Thanks!!
You are such a good information sir Thank you soo much am a bigginer so it is helping me to learn sir🙏🙏🙏
I love using the OSMO mobile 3 but can honestly say I never use the mimo app for any videos/films. Ok for vlogging but useless for filmmaking.
Again a really good video👍 greetings from Denmark. Hope you All are well.
Thank you Kenneth! Hope you're well too 😊
Hi, thanks for video 🙏🌷♥️
Can i use weebill s,for my smartphone?(Note 20 ultra)
Ola, gostei muito do seu vídeo.....preciso de uma ajuda. Comprei um OSMO 4, porem, quando ligo, ele não faz nada, nenhum movimento, parece morto. Alguma sugestão??? Grato, Edson..
Came here for advice. Stayed because your local to me lol. I recognised the park instantly.
hi neighbour!
Thanks for all the tips! Do you know if dji om4 has an extendable mount or tripod?
it comes with a mini tripod / handle extension
I have a cover for my iPhone 12pro and prefer to keep it on. Does the magnetic clip work on a cover? The cover is a QDOS and is a great quality. Would the cover also affect the weight and stabilisation on the gimbal?
Is Zhiyun Smooth 4 still the better option for Filmic pro compared to OM4? What's your expert opinion?
Hi, any alternative brand for Samsung galaxy A52S? Thank you :)
I have a question on filters. I have a Samsung S20+ and would like to use ND filters. Any recommendations on brand or where to buy them?
Controlling light. YES.
INDIRECT LIGHT.
Hi great video! You mentioned you can use Samsung Pro Video App and record using the record button on the DJI OM3/4 Gimbal. Can you guide us how? Thank you.
switch bluetooth on, pair with the gimbal and then open Pro Video. Record button should trigger record in the app
I always find using the app slays the battery much prefer the camera app for longevity
Thanks, I learned a lot from your videos☺️
This is challenge I have... New tools.. new software.... YOu have a tendency to try everything new in one video! ... YES!... Don't overdo it!!!
YESSS
Hello great vid again i have a osmo3 my question is on part 3 don't over do it how you make with your osmo a 360° shot ? Is this possibly with osmo 4?
that shot was actually taken with a Zhiyun Smooth Q2 - but I was just using to illustrate the point on not overdoing it.
Your voice is so calm and so soft. I love it.
Very nice. video. Quick question do you shoot all your youtube video on a phone as well or have a DSLR or other camera? Your video feed looks really clean of noise.
I don't own a DSLR. So it's Samsung only
Thanks a lot for these tips.
Could you please make a video how we improve our voice like yours.
have you watched my video about recording audio? ruclips.net/video/uta6A20_vMc/видео.html
Questions or a do. How do you change the gimbal 5. Simply question but it seems difficult to do with the one I have.
How did you get the record button on the gimbal to work on the normal camera? Mine doesn't work 🥺
Does the stabilisation works different with these DJI apps??? 🤔 coz I use Samsung galaxy s10 nd recently bought DJI Omi 4 nd I'm using this DJI app for recording but the results are not that satisfactory mainly the stabilisation...!!! Can you help me out in improving my stabilisation..!!!
Thank you in advance.
Damn this dudes voice got me all ..... tranced out haha
can i edit the 30 fps footage in 60 fps then bring it back in to slow down ?
Very helpful tips. Do you have any recommendation on the best gimbal to use or is the OM4 your gimbal of choice?
I like OM 4, but if you have a heavier phone you will probably need a bigger gimbal
@@SiHorrocks I think the heaviest phone right now is the iphone 12 pro max and it still works fine on the OM4.
Nice videos...the other bright side is that, I play your videos again and again in the night.. Just hearing your voice puts me to sleep..
Hello its a good video,, can i ask i shoot on 60 fps then slow later, what fps to export? Can i export to the same fps or should i go to 30fps ?? Mobile phone edit only .thanks
60fps on 60fps timeline = no slow
60fps on 30fps timeline is 0.5x the speed
60fps on 24fps is 0.4x the speed
120fps on a 30fps timeline is 0.25x the speed
120fps on a 24fps timeline is 0.2x the speed
Step 1 , uninstall the app.
Step 2 use the gimbal manually.
Now you can use any resolution your camera supports. In my case I have 4k , 60 fps and 8k 30fps
I have new one dji om 4 se gimbal. It's new. Problem is when press and hold that trigger button the gimbal handle not going to lock. It' any software issues?
Question for you ..which screen protector is better to use for my Galaxy S21 Ultra ?? THe DJI Osmo Mobile 4 damaged my phone's screen protector ..The clip is too strong....If you know what I mean....
Hi, can you provide please. How you can make the gimbal DJI OM4 on this position ,see 6:52 . Because i can’t make this position full on my DJI OM4
Telling a story. Thats the mindset.
Generally people dont really care about ultimate picture quality 4k 8k etc.. Its the content that matters. What moves them.
I bought one of these a few days ago and I'm having trouble figuring out how to get rid of the lag when you go around a corner. As I turned the corner the camera is still pointing in the direction that I was traveling and then finally swings around out of all the videos I watched on RUclips I have not seen a single video that shows people actually filming themselves using the gimbal in different scenarios outside or indoor. I guess I'll keep looking.
you have to twist the handle on the gimbal to account for the lag
LOL that clown spinning shots , i cant 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your videos are the reason I got a DJI OM gimbal for my Note 20 Ultra. My preference is to use native Samsung Cam app but even when connected to bluetooth it does not work. Any suggestions? The Mimo app wasn't available so I downloaded an APK of it and I cant find MODE category on it. Any help is appreciated and thanks a million for these wonderful videos and tips!
I don't use any apps. Just manually control the gimbal and use the native camera. I've never even bothered to download the DJI app.
I turned my cellphone's bluetooth, wifi and data off to save battery life when filming.
@@TheAgentAssassin Good idea! Thank you. I finally figured that out and it works for me.
Are we supposed to turn off Image Stabilization options on our phones(One Plus 7 Pro) while using the gimbal for videos? Thanks in advance. Just bought the DJI OM 5.
Usually I would turn it off, especially if the device only has EIS
@@SiHorrocks ok thank you
Great Video. 👍You just nailed the most important facts about mobile videography with good examples and your soft and calm voice is very pleasant to listen to. I just wanted to mention that. Good work.
I am a Realtor and I am looking for equipment to shoot houses and informational videos around the area. I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max and it is to heavy or big for my Smove Mobile 3. I also use a Boys wireless mic I would like to use with it.do you think the DJI Osmo 4 would be a good fit?
How can i Set the Video Quality from 1080p to 4k with the om4 Software?
depends on your phone
