In Episode 57 of Seeking Focus, we talk all things camera support and stabilisation — from handheld rigs and shoulder systems to gimbals and other tools designed to help you get smoother, more controlled footage.
We discuss the different options we've used, where each one works best, and why sometimes the latest electronic stabiliser isn't necessarily the right tool for the job.
We cover:
🎥 Gimbals and when they're worth using 🎬 Shoulder rigs & CineSaddles for handheld shooting ⚖️ Balancing your camera setup correctly 🚶 Choosing the right support for different shooting situations 🔧 Practical advantages and disadvantages of each setup 💡 Our experiences using different stabilisation methods on real shoots 📸 How your choice of support can completely change the look and feel of a shot
Whether you're shooting professionally, creating YouTube content, travelling with a camera or simply trying to get better-looking footage, we share some practical thoughts on choosing the right tool for the shot.
