Let's talk about the cinematography, Cimentograpers use camera moment effectively to convey an emotion, or heightens the feeling of a situation. Until 1975 the most popular camera moment that was available to be used, a dolly or a camera crane.
But in 1975 Garrett Brown a camera operator invented a device using which you could mount the camera on to a handheld device, run with it, slide with it, climb with it, climb down with it without creating camera jerk.
That device was branded as Steadicam which subsequently becomes the generic name for all camera stabilizers.
Lots of variations of that Steadicam, in various price point, shapes and sizes came subsequently available and we are using it very infrequently. The most recent interest in this whole game is something called 3 Axis Gimbal.

Balancing Or Balance Well
The first suggestion or tip to you to make sure that your gimbal is balanced well. We noticed lots of people's footage shaking, but it should not be.
The picture is shaking because they do not balance their gimbal well. So this is our first tip for you that take your time and balance it well before use.
If it will be properly balanced then your picture will not be shake. You can also balance it at your home before shoot so as you will reach to the shoot place you can start shooting without wasting any time in balancing your gimbal.
At the end, we just want to say that take your time and balance well your Gimbal for perfect pictures.
Get some Movement
A Gimbal is for movement, it meant to move your camera around using that gimbal to get shots. But we noticed lots of peoples holding it in just one Movement, they are not using it properly.
If you move your camera with the help of gimbal and take some shots you can achieve some really cool results. Even a tiny little movement can help you to achieve a better result because a gimbal is meant to move. You do not need to go crazy on it but adding movement can add extra spice to your shots.
Subject In Foreground
The third tip is how something in the foreground, this is one of the things that no matter how much you move the gimbal if everything is far away and there is nothing in the Foreground, it does not look like you are moving at all, the same apply for the reverse of that. But if there is something in the foreground you can witness lots of movement which looks a lot more interesting.
