The goal of today was just to get a feel of the gimbals as they were an entirely new piece of technology which I have never used before and as I felt it would produce an essential part of my film I would need to get my fair share of hands on experience as soon as possible. With help from a teacher, I was given a full demonstration of how the gimbal technology works, then I was shown how I used the DJI Ronin app in order to check the balance of the camera on the gimbal, making sure that it was all “Excellent”. I learnt quickly that it comes down to the tiniest adjustments that to make the biggest of changes in balance. Then I was given my own set of a camera and gimbal and had to work the balance and make sure that it was all working fine.

My practices went well and after a couple of tests I had everything labeled “Excellent”, which meant that I was all good to go. I had a play around with the motion and took a look at what the gimbal would be capable of in regards to shots I want to try and accomplish in my own film. I had a good sense of what to do and I was getting comfortable with the way that the whole mechanism moved, I knew the limitations of what it could and couldn’t do and I am happy with the progress I made.
