Just found your channel and it is very helpful to see a focused video on one single move since almost all videos show all of them too briefly. It would be nice to have some more side shots to see what it looks like with you executing the moves. I bought a pocket 3 for one summer trip and I am still trying to figure out when to hold it like a flashlight vs. vertically vs diagonally, etc. with all the various moves. I'm also thinking of getting a longer stick but it's tricky to figure out how to best hold it or position it. Thanks for the video.
Hi! Thanks so much for coming to my little channel on gimbal techniques, you are most welcome! What a good suggestion and I'll try to make updated videos showing the push forward move and the other moves in action, from the side etc There will be also more advanced moves coming in the future so look out for those. Generally I haven't found any major difference which way it is held (diagonal, vertical, flashlight) for the push forward but more important to walk slowly with the ninja style walk heel-toe makes the smoothest shot. It's really down to which is more comfortable for yourself. I generally hold it flashlight or diagonal myself, and vertical for dolly type shots. A longer stick is good for crane jib shots to gain extra lift.
