Thank you very much for sharing this really honest approach to a complicated subject! It's the perfect and humble acknowledgement of appreciating any skill that is hard to learn. Thank you for not being hasty and too self-confident.
I did it the old fashion way...gaffing a flashlight to a Worrall and tracing a figure-8 on the wall. Also used to imagine using it while watching camera movements in movies.
Just found this video mate. Really great logical break down. I have bought some Rexy wheels for practice which you can game with. Gaming is a little too fast paced I believe for camera motion practice. This slow methodical approach is much better. I also found screen grabbing different things to practice IE mazes a great way to practice. Rexy wheels are definitely an affordable option if you are serious about it. About £500. And Rob who makes them is an industry professional, he is a professional head tech, so knows what he is talking about.
Umbrellas, what an innovative lighting tool.LOL. I love the quality of the light and mobility of classic umbrellas. I'm sooo tired of the YT lighting hype. CFLs or tungsten have beautifully consistent color temp.
Thank you for that Video! Just thought to do the same laser thing you did with the gearhead to do with a normal Fluid Head . Now I just need a laser I guess :D
Totally counterintuitive. The back wheel should be for pan (clockwise for right, counter-clockwise for left) and the side for tilt (forward for down, and backward for up). It’s a no-brainer. So the question is: Why did they do it that way???
Tried to get some practice time on a GH on set... that just doesn't work. following a square is real basic. the figure 8 is the MF'er. Hats off to the Gear Head Operators. The first job is scary. It HAS to be 2nd nature or you'll ruin a take. If you're working the "A" Camera on a 5 camera shot and stunts or special effects are involved, you'd better be on your game. Best of luck to all that try this!
So glad that we have an Arri-head at my film school to practice.

Gearheads make moves so much easier to repeatable. Plus on really long focal lengths there is nothing better

I can’t find that cheap head anywhere, could you give some info on where to buy one?
I'm looking for one tool. Please share if you find one
Still looking I found one
Awesome video!
Where can I find the chinese made gear head?
Great,
Thanks for sharing, MAN
I would like to buy an economical system to practice, do you know if there is one and wheere can I buy it?

How do you control focus, and zoom while using the wheels?
This is where you need to employ the services of a focus puller
what's the name of that gear head?
Revolio Clockberg, Jr.
Yeah what's the name of the cheap head?
Thumbs up.

Wow, interesting. So when using this gear, you really need someone else dedicated to follow focus...
I like your lighting at 7:06 . What did you use to achieve that look ?
