This video is basically telling us not to do anything that youtubers have taught us. And I agree, because with their teachings all I ever got was wobbly footage no matter how much I tried. Then my body naturally adjusted according to it's needs and what I currently have is 90% of what this video teaches. And I get much smoother shots. A Pro in the Industry is a Pro and RUclipsrs don't compare. Learn from the right people. This is an amazing series! Thank you.
Thank you. I appreciate that 😊
100 percent
Schön, dass ein Deutscher in dieser Branche so aktiv ist
Nik Azad.... danke dir
Lots of these types of glidecam how to videos on RUclips. This is by far the best I've seen! Thanks for providing this free value.
Thomas Roberts thanks... i really appreciate that. Stay tuned, more will come. Cheers
The best DSLR stabilizer training on the internet.. hands down the best one ...
Thank you for making this available to us.
Thanks a lot
Man this guy is good , he makes it look easy
thanks CB
Stefan, you are a natural teacher - this is very good. Thank you.
My pleasure
This is easily the best glidecam video I have watched. Not just your technique, but your process of educating is really spot on. Well done!
Jeremy Banchiere thank you very much.
Thanks a lot Stefan! You are the best!! Got the glidecam a while ago & was already frustrated. I abandoned it after hurting my wrist & my back, & still couldn't use it properly. Picked up the glidecam after watching this tutorial & I'm very impressed with my movement & shots :)))))) Thank you so much! Now I don't walk like a duck anymore!!! Learned that from many RUclips videos.
Thank you Sane. I know there are a lot of "oppinions" out there, hahaha. I get some not so nice comments about my "never ever bend your knees", but to get a comment like yours is very welcome.
Cheers
I just picked up the NEEWER stabilizer on Amazon for real estate videos. It was $83 Canadian dollars but I wanted to go cheaper until I made a good amount of money with real estate. Then I will upgrade but these videos are super helpful for my first real estate video. Thx mate 🙏🙏
4:05, when you think about it, it's like dancing and the stabilizer is your partner. Fantastic video!
Thank you ;-)
The only really useful video I've found yet. There's so many people giving bad advice but this is practical and works. Excited to get out and film now. Thank you Stefan
This is how a tutorial should be.
Every minute details of where mistakes might occur.
Secondly, no waste of time
everything,To the point
Great 👍🏻 thanks 😊
Thanks 😊
I've been exploring almost all youtube videos about glidecam, and found your series are the best. Including not to bent the knee thing, i agree with you.
Y.P. Putra thank you very much
really appreciate this... right now im in a course, and this is a hurdle for me... now ive cleared out the garage, and added string lines to begin... today ill start this "muscle memory" routine...
Ditto! FTFM??
Easily the clearer tutorial I've seen on the subject. Your demonstrations are a good illustration of the right movements and at the same time demonstrate your skill 👍🏼. And you're right, you have to practice and practice again, that's the secret . Merci Stefan !
Thank you
I just got my flycam yesterday and this is 100% what I need! Really thanks!
you are welcome
This guide is like the opposite of everything else I have seen from other advanced users. crazy
What "kind" of advanced users? Stead(y)icam operator or RUclips Influencer?
@@StefanCzech To start someone that has had a glidecam named after him "Devin Graham" Ever heard of him? I mean he has nearly 6 million subs, so I'm guessing he is doing something right?... That being said I respect your tips and you have lots of good information that gives technique to achieve similar results. Just like the old saying goes, "there is more than one way to skin a cat".
I know Devin in person. He is a nice guy but he is RUclipsr and not a Stead(y)icam Operator ;-)
Take the tips you like and find your way...and leve the cats!
Stefan Czech yeah most of them say to bend your knees and “ninja walk”
DX2tI most of them never ever make a slow walk around an object. Most of them are running kids.
hands down the best glidecam training video I've seen. Thanks a bunch!
Thanks Evan, Cheers Stefan
You had me at "don't bend your knees." Some advice that I like!
my pleasure
Thanks, Stefan. Your training is the best among the others I've seen. And yes, if we get the Glidecam properly balanced, there's no need to bend the knees or walk like a duck. 😄
My pleasure 😇
I learned something today. Learn from the people that actually made the Glidecam and not youtubers.
Thank you 🙏
Easily the best among all the tutorials I've seen.
Thanks, I really appreciate that
This video contradicts all the other tutorials I have watched so far. However, you seem professional so I trust you.
Thank you very much
So schnell und einfach die wichtigsten Dinge erklärt! Danke! Sehr hilfreich. :)
gerne 😊
Hallo Stefan!
Gutes praxisorientiertes Tutorial... (hätte ich gerne schon vor zwei Jahren gehabt, als ich meine HD2000 angeschafft habe) . Prima - freue mich auf Vol. 2
Appreciate your time and dedication towards making this video. It has been very helpful and useful to my glidecam work.
+Sitton Visuals ..thanks, you are very welcome. I´m glad you like it.
Cheers Stefan
“Walking like a duck just isn’t cool” 😂😂 thanks for this video series, just learning to use one of these things and man what a work out! Heavy Sony a7iv had me load on 4 weights each side and after 30 minutes or so my arms are on fire!
Keep on training. Most of the time, there is no need for very long takes. Keep it short but stable. Best
@@StefanCzech thanks so much for the response! I’ve been practicing your drills and working my way through your video series, you are helping me improve greatly. Thank you.
@@boisebroncoadventures thank you, O really appreciate that😃
Thanks Stefan. Very useful exercises. Looking forward to some more great video tutorials from you!
+J Oates thanks, you are welcome. Yes there will some more to come.
Cheesr
Stefan
You are a fine teacher sir, Thank you.
the best ever glidecam tutorial I've seen
Thanks ;-)
Thx very much, I was unmotivated to use my until find your video. Congratulations!
haha, great ;-) Its a tool and you have to use it. Thats all. Cheers
Thanks a lot! You are a brave man, when you are showing to whole
audience your know how. But it would show the future, who get the advice
right :-). I've just bought simillar system and the setting up is hell,
but your and few more videos helps me a lot. So many thanks again and
have a great successes! :-)
Pavel Schuster thanks Parvel.
this is actually a very good instruction. you can really see the years of work in these tricks
Thanks a lot
excellent beginners guide , thanks for posting
Thanks
Great tutorial Stefan.
I gotta say when you talked about how to stand and walk with the glidecam you reminded me of my chiropractor ;)
+Pollux Chung hahaha...thanks. Yes its a common mistake of beginner to bend the knees by hoping to get a smooter shot. I will show some exercises in Vol. 2 to walk the right way.
Bending the knees is not stable, not clever and not healthy. I never say, hold your leds stiff!!! Hahaha...
Cheers
Stefan
the best video on glidecam training.
Thanks man ;-)
Super useful tutorial - thanks a lot. I'll get practising on my movement and muscle memory.
Thank you so much. This is the only tutorial that actually got me to operate it smoothly.
Matt, you are very welcome
Matt thanks for your feedback
This guy needs to do all camera instructional videos ever
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you very much for all the helpful advice. Just started to train with a steady cam!
You are welcom. It will go on with some new episodes this year
Stefan, these tips are amazing - thank you.
got a glidecam last day and fiddling around for 24 hrs,i am watching him operate the gadget with my jaws dropped
Thanks. Use some of my tips and try it again 😊
Yes ,I will ❤️
Perfect. And take a look on the other parts of my series
Oh maaaan, musste gestern spontan das erste mal überhaupt und dann noch ohne Einweisung mit einem Glidecam Stativ arbeiten und hab ja mal ALLES falsch gemacht. :( Warum find ich das Tutorial erst heute????? Wirklich gut erklärt, Daumen hoch!
Moto-Ryker hhaha bester Kommentar ever😎
by far the best glidecam instructional video I've come across! thank you for this!
Thanks. I really appreciate that
Thank you for taking the time to do this, I will use your advice. The interesting thing for me is that you have all your left hand fingers on the body of the gimble. Hopefully that will solve the swaying of the gimble.
it will ;-)
Some extremely useful tips here. Thank you
Kevork you are very welcome
This is great Stefan, thanks so much. Just got this and need to work on technique big time (and specific muscles) :)
Excellent video, I'm going to practice using these techniques. Funnily enough I've often tried to do the "ninja walk" without bending my knees more than normal. It's certainly doable and I agree it can take away some control of your vertical position.
mfreeman313 thanks
You a re good! Like a dancer! Good exercise! Thanks for the tips!
Thanks Gianpaolo
Sehr gut erklärt! Vielen Dank für die Mühe, wirklich KLASSE.
Gerne ;-)
Thank you! I can't believe I bought a glide cam and never knew the proper technique.
Jerald you are welcome buddy
so much detail and explanation! Thank you!
You are welcom
This is ridiculously well explained!! I will go practice and develop some muscle-memory now :)
Thank you
Stefan, Great tutorial! Thank you very much for posting this!
+Michael Stevenson you are welcome my friend. Hope you find something usefull for you.
Cheers
Stefan
Stefan, I did, thank you. I hope you can show the DGS Glidecam with the X10 arm too.
+Michael Stevenson yes, there will come a lot of this short tutorials. Basic, advanced and of couse also some specials with arm and west support like the X10.
Stay tuned, and ...never ever bend you knees ;-)
Yes thanks for that. With the Movi you are supposed to walk like a duck!
+Stefan Czech haha...nop...try to walk the same way like with the Glidecam. But you have to deal with the z-axis.
Great video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks, you are welcome
Thank you for these techniques, we just added a glide cam to our tool kit and we’re excited to start using it!
The Van Project you are welcome
Immernoch ein solides Standartwerk. Übe ich immer wieder gerne!
Danke
Superb video series!
just bought the hd pro , this video will help me alot
Cool
These videos are so good !!!
Thank you
Thanks a lot Sebastian
Thanks a lot for sharing such a great video with us. 🙏🏻
you are welcome ;-)
Stefan Czech Is there any chance that in future you will organise a workshop/training course in London?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Ali, I woud love to. I had made some in Dubai and Swiss in the last years.
If you find some reseller or company who invide me for a workshop, I will love to come to London ;-)
Stefan Czech thanks Stefan, I really appreciate your kindness. I will certainly contact to the potential parties. Can I have your email address? Or any other contact details?
Big thanks from Việt Nam.... Very useful for newbie like me 👍
You are very welcome
Lots of other guides advise bending knees tho...?
I'm wondering this too. As most other Glidecam videos specifically tell you to bend your knees to absorb shock from your feet.
Love your Training Series Stefan, very helpful
Thakns, you are welcome.
Cheers
Nice to learn from a PRO.... Thanks...
Thank you
Sie mein Herr sind der Wahnsinn. Danke
Danke ;-)
Korrrekt! Sehr geiles Video. Keine Laberei, auf den Punkt. Highly Recommended!
+notorious curious ...danke schön ;-)
We love this. A must watch!
+Setlife you are welcome ;-)
Surely, you have opened my eyes.. Thanks for your efforts on this,,!🙌
jojo mwakajila you are welcome
This is amazing! You are a great teacher... very clear.
My pleasure 😇
Amazing tutor for my type of newcomers person please keep it up please 🙏🏻💐👑
My plesure 😀
Best video for stabilizer
Thanks ;-)
Great video. I am going to go back to glidecam and my electronic gimble will be a backup
Take whatever you need for the Job
also so gut und toll hats noch keiner erklärt - danke dafür! MfG, Tom
Danke dir ;-)
thanks! great basic movements for begginers!
thanks
Super Anleitung! Vielen Dank dafür!
Bitte, gerne
This was espetacular. What a class. Looking forward for the others.
Thanks
you are awesome
thanks for this training
+Ayman Faris thanks. I´m happy you like it.
This was really helpful
Nice to see I don't need to look like an idiot to properly handle the steadycam!
😂
Toller Video, freue mich auf die DVDs die heute rausgingen 👍🏻
Thanks Stefan.
Big Thanks, Stefan!! You are AWESOME!! :)
you are welcome
Thank you! Really good advices!
Strange how different this advice is to others.
Some say "Never use all your fingers, only tap the center with forefinger and thumb"
Could you clarify whether or not you're tapping or actually feathergripping?
Some I hear say "bend your knees as shock absorption and ninja walk"
I know you say "we all need to bend our knees naturally" etc in your description, but as others have said, this isn't the advice some are giving, even big names (like Devin Graham) on youtube. They are talking about some serious knee bending while moving. In fact this shot at 2:36 is the EXACT position every other tutorial I've seen suggests.
I LOVED these videos and just got my first glidecam, but I'm trying to practice right the first time. I'm sure you're tired of talking about the knee bend at this point, but I'm just getting to this late. Thank you! You rock!
Hi Reepecheep. I think, you have to decide which kind of steadycam operation you like to follow.
The way I show in this series will work with very light and also with professional heavy weight systems. Work by running and also on very slow and precise camera movements. A bigger difference than most RUclipsrs ever heard. ;-)
@@StefanCzech @Stefan Czech Thank you for your reply! My camera is very light, and I have been practicing for only about a day now and I find it more natural to stay upright, kind of like walking in a marching band. I just wish there were more professionals showing how to do this because it can be hard to know the "proper" technique when every tutorial says do it one way, but this pro (you) says do it differently. I'm going to keep practicing your technique! I want to get a mentor but I'm afraid they will have learned from other RUclipsrs also haha
Yes, keep training and have fun.
Perfect, exactly what I was looking for! Vielen dank.
My pleasure
It is very important video for Gide came users.
This is crazy helpful. I dont’t even know what to do with the left hand before.
Densen Handra you are very welcome
Good day Stefan! Just found your channel today and I'm extremely happy :-) The very best Glidecam tutorials on RUclips. "Liked and Subscribed!" Oh yeah, I clicked the gray bell thingy, so I can get notified when you upload new videos. Be well and stay encouraged!
Thnaks Jacob. The next will be a closer look at the DJI Ronin S ;-)
Stefan Czech Awesome... I'll be waiting for the video. Be well Stefan!
this is good one as compare to other tutorials
This is great ! i needed to practice and this is the perfect content for that purpose ! thanks so much !
Stefan, thank you so much for your videos! You are a genius. I am subscribing right away!!!
You are welcome
Your knowledge of the art of using the steadicam inspired me to make better smoother footage.
Thanks Timothy, I love to inspire others to try new ways. Stay save and have fun making cool movies.
Cheers
Thank you Stefan!!!
Fantastic tutorial, Stefan. Interesting to see how you run your Glidecam, vs how someone like Devin does it, jumping across rivers and around mountains as he does :) I'm curious if you've seen/heard of the Glidecam accessory where you can use both hands to help support and alleviate hand/arm fatigue, the Eroz Steady Aid? If you have, curious about your thoughts. Cheers!
+Michael Kern Hi Michael, thanks for your comment. I know, everybody knows Devins work, and he have done a very good job for the comunity.
But its not the way for everybody to travel around the world and make party ;-) haha...
This webseries is for beginner and people they try hard but learn the wrong things. I think this is why so many looking for a 3axis Gimbal like the Ronin. And belive THIS ist the way to shot films. My answer to this is here: ruclips.net/video/0cZsP1CjluU/видео.html
To your question: this Eroz Steady Aid is funny. When you put ressure on / with your controllhand, you can´t make the fine art work you have to do for the operation.
Sorry, if this become to heavy, stay tuned when we will come to the arme and west support in this webseries:
Cheers
Stefan
Thanks a lot from Zambia, Africa.
