Thanks for these videos. I bought an inexpensive stabilizer for my DSLR this week and was able to get OK results once I got it balanced, but didn't have much control over the stabilizer. After watching the first two videos and practicing for just a couple of hours I already see a lot of improvement in my footage. It's so helpful just to get basic instructions on how to hold the stabilizer and move with it, and practicing is a lot more fun when you actually have an idea of what to practice, instead of just fumbling around with trial and error.

Going slow with a steady cam is very very hard to get good shots !! You are a master at your craft and you must do it very well..but I think the glidecam is best used with certain speed so it can glide and look smooth. Just shoot at 60-120fps and slow it down.. but if you are a master like yourself do it from scratch :)

@StefanCzech 5 жыл бұрын

You cant slow down every shot. Slowmo is cool but not for everything.

Thanks for your videos, they are the best i've found! One question, should i disable OIS on the lens when using a glidecam?

@StefanCzech 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much. If you use OIS depends on the camera and lens model. On Canon foto lense, I will shut off because they are made for stills. On a GH5 I would use it.

@StefanCzech 3 жыл бұрын

Hi impinge Pr, what kind of camera and Glidecam you use? Try to strip down the camera as much a possible to reduce weight.

@ipungpr 3 жыл бұрын

@@StefanCzech try to strip down? Well that's a good idea, because I'm still using the standard camera lens from the Canon 1300D, maybe I should replace a smaller lens. but is it possible stefan? I use the camera to make a youtube video in the depth tour a car

@DYONIZIAKFILM 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Stefan! This video was very helpful. I have a question. Do the right shoes are important for more smooth shots? Do you recommend any specific type of shoes? Sport sneakers with soft, cushioning soles, like for running on the street?

@StefanCzech 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks Marek. I recoment the shoes that fit you the most. Feel good and give you a good grip on the ground. I know a lot of Glidecam tips here on youtube, but the "smoothes" comes not from your feet or "bending" knees. It comes from you "bending arm" Stay safe in good gripping sportshoes, and you will be fine Cheers

@jameslungay3709 8 жыл бұрын

sir I watched most of your videos and TBH you are really a good teacher as well as a good glidecam operator. I am also practicing to operate glidecam but I have a problem making steady shots because my glidecam keep on swinging side by side when I walk, what shall I do???

@StefanCzech 8 жыл бұрын

Hi James, thanks for your comment. Ok, to your problem: Make sure your esystem is balanced and had a droptime at 1.5-2 sec. Some of the newbees talking about 3-5 sec. Thats ok for a bigger and havyer system and more experianced operator. A bit more bottom heavyer is better in the beginning. Look at you weight if there is everything in the right positions. Make it symetric. Try and learn. Cheers Stefan

Hi Stefan, ich kann mich den anderen nur anschließen, das sind die besten Glidecam Tutorials die man im Web findet. Ich habe mittlerweile schon viele gesehen und war teilweise durch die widersprüchlichen Aussagen zur Handhabung iritiert. Ich habe in der Praxis alle durchprobiert und bin in jedem Punkt bei dem geblieben was in deinen Videos beschrieben wurde. Das funktioniert am besten. Das einzige was ich noch verstanden habe was es für Vor-/Nachteile hat wenn die Flügel auf dem die Gegengewichte montiert sind, aus bzw. eingefahren sind. Ich persönlich komme mit ausgefahrenen besser zurecht weiß aber nicht warum das so ist. Falls es rein passt würde ich mich freuen wenn du dazu was sagen könntest. Vielen Dank und mach weiter so!

@StefanCzech 7 жыл бұрын

Hallo Roman, vielen Dank für dein nettes Feedback. Ich weiß, es wird viel erzählt und gezeigt. Und vielleicht ist es für die ein oder ander Szene auch ok (Davin G.) aber es sind of die "Basics" die fehlen. Zu deiner Frage: ganz einfach...wenn das so für dich funktioniert ist es doch klasse. Ich persönlich mag lieber alles kompakt und schmal. Gerade bei einer Drehung bei der die Glidecam dan 90 Grad vor mir dreht, stören mich die ausgefahrenen "wings". Das ist alles. Wenn es bei dir passt, dann mach es so. LG Stefan

It depends on the job. Sometimes a Ronin S can do the job better and faster, but still a lot of moves you cant do it with the electronics.

Hey Stefan, I find your tutorials very useful. I've followed your guidance one by one. But I run into a small problem. How do you do a smooth tilt? I find it it's easy to tilt down. But when I tilt up, it gets unstable. And I cant maintain the balance especially during walking. Could you give me some help? Thanks.

@StefanCzech 7 жыл бұрын

Hi XX, thanks for your comment. For your problem, check if your Glidecam is perfectly static and dynymic balanced. Most of the time thats why it become not perfect working. Cheers Stefan

@filmautre 8 жыл бұрын

How many weights do you use for the Canon Cinema series? I can only get it balanced with 4 weights either side but the central post is as short as possible with the wings all the way in, should I be extending the post to get it balanced with less weights? also can you do a tutorial on how to mount a monitor such as Ninja Flame to the bottom and counter weight at the back if we dont have those big batteries for counter weight? thanks

Hey Stefan, I'm loving your content. I've got a question regarding camera gear. I'm using a canon 70D with shutter tuned to the (48 fps ~ option on manual..) Even if I'm filming really steady with the glidecam, not that fast, the shots seem blurry. Which Camera should I buy to get good shots out of my glidecam 2000hd? Thank you very much! Cheers

@StefanCzech 8 жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks for your comment. Let's see, you mean 1/50sec. or. 48fps???? If you shoot in 48p it's only 720p. Maybe that's the reason for you results. Stay on 1080p/25fps. Is my tip

@philippblank 8 жыл бұрын

Yes I was shooting in automatic cause I was new to everything a few months back, the Autofocus was great for that. I've changed to "M" manuel mode and I saw a Video that 1/50 sec is 48 FPS and rounds up to 50?! So 25FPS is enough to get a smooth shot? What Camera should I upgrade too in the future? Between 1-2k € Thank you Stefan, I really appreciate your time! Greetings from Berlin.

Hallo PhilFilm, ja, ja, der M modus ist schon toll ;-) Kameraupgrade? Schwierig, denn es gibt heute kaum noch "schlechte". Viel mehr kommt es darauf an, wie man damit umgeht. Ein wirklich großer Spung ist z.B. ein C100 MKII. Aber auch finaziel ein grösserer Sprung. Cheers Stefan
