1. Alow angle shot.You can do a lot of these different moves but from a low angle try to change your angles when you're working with a gimbal so when you get down low and point up you have that super dramatic low shot and the beauty of the crane 3 lab is you have this handle on top that allow you to get these super low shots very easily. It's easy to maneuver from your different positions because the way that the handle set up on this gimbal so with the low shot, you could basically recreate any of the moves that we've talked about but just bring the camera super low and point up at your subject. is a reveal so

2. You're gonna want to use the follow modeand what we're gonna do is go from thesky and pan down into your subject and follow them so whether the person is stationary or moving you can use this follow mode start looking at the sky and then slowly tilt down on the gimbal to reveal your subject in the frame, just make sure that you feather in on both sides so you have no jolting motion the whole idea behind a gimbal is smooth dreamy like footage so you're going to want to feather as much as possible.

3. Another sort of revealbut you're basically going to bestarting on someone's feet and then moving up to their heads so it's a kind of person reveal or an object reveal where you start on one aspect of it and move up to another you're gonna want to make sure that if you're using any longer lens you just lock that focus in and then make the move from bottom to top and what you're gonna do is just move your hands from down low to up high to be able to get this kind of a shot.

4. Afun one and this is a jib shot so jibsare big pieces of equipment that allows a camera to get these sweeping shots from way high to way low, with a gimbal you can attach a monopod and then you can get a much higher sweeping motion so a couple notes when you're working with a jib leg shot I suggest using a wider lens because you'll be able to see more of the motion in the actual frame and then also you're gonna want to put it on the tilt lock mode so either start high and come down onto your subject or start down low and then sweep up high to reveal the bigger scene that going on.

5. APOV whip and basically what happens is the camera follows you super fast so it's the follow mode but it has a quick reaction time when you're actually using this mode so the purpose of this is basically you can have your gimbal getting smooth footage whatever motion that you want but then when you want to do a transition to another scene or another shot you can whip and when you put these together and you add a little motion blur on the top of this it creates a seamless transition from one scene to the next.

1. The pushin and push out. To do this you need to put it in the lock mode and you're gonna want to use a 16 millimeter 224 millimeter lens, you need to use a wider lens for this shot and to do this shot you're going to walk forward or walk back so set your subject where you want them to start and plan out where you're going to have them end and basically that's going to create a dramatic move pushing in and pulling out from the Subject.

2. Adolly left and right. This the same principle as the push in push out walk from your left to your right or your right to your left and these first two moves mimic moves that you can do unlike a slider or a dolly and you want to be very smooth with these motions so that you get that really cinematic look.

3. Awide spin or an orbit to do this move. You need to have it in the tilt lock mode and you're gonna want to use a wider lens so a 16 to a 24. The key is keeping your distance from the sub and walking in a circle around the subject.

4. Another version of this spin howevergonna be using a much longer lens sothis is the parallax spin you're gonna want to have it in the tilt lock mode and then you're gonna be using a longer lens so think 35 to 50 millimeter lens. You're gonna want to lock in your focus on the subject. Keeping your distance from the subject and walk in a circle around the subject. What's different between this and the wider version of this is that you're creating parallax and parallax is when the background is moving faster than the foreground so you get this really kind of cool look out of your footage and this is something that you'll see in a lot of Hollywood cinema. 

5. You'regonna follow a subject so something has to be in motion so you can use a longer lens for this or you could use a wider lens but you're gonna want to keep it in the tilt lock mode rather than the full lock mode for this mode and the idea is that you're following a subject now a subject can move in different directions. You can either follow in front of them or behind them but the idea is you want to keep the same distance from then throughout the entire shot and you're following them.
