Premium Members Sanjay Sami Posted January 23, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Along with the other comments, I think practice will help. Practice with a static object in frame, and practice very slow. The slower you move, the easier it will be to identify the problems. As Martin Stacy mentioned, you maybe over handling your gimbal handle a little. Make sure the lift on the arm is set right. Practice a lot. Good luck.

Premium Members Christopher Moone Posted February 2, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Looks like you may be lifting the rig a little. Loosen your grip on the gimbal handle and let the rig float a little more to stop it rising with your body. I agree with this too. Don't underestimate walking the line as practice. What it teaches you more than anything (IMHO) is not to fight the rig and let the arm do its thing. It's very common at the beginning to be too forceful with either hand which will transfer more movement from your steps to the post. The tension from your hands effectively bypassing the dampening of the arm. Practice and relax and practice some more, eventually there's an "aha!" moment, then several more! Keep it up!

Premium Members Wan Zhong Wei Posted February 14, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Hi Emily, I got a feeling that it might be your WK vest that might be causing some of the operating issues, have you done the "hands free" test to check if your sled is balanced with your standing posture already? If it is possible, you might want to check out a local rental house or a friend to test out traditional front mounted vests, and see if that might be a better option for you. I wouldn't say the footsteps is the main issue here, but your panning, to keep it easy you can always just do some panning exercises just on your docking bracket, and try to get it to be as smooth as possible. always remember that the sled will pan by itself once you start the movement, your fingers are just there to catch it and stop it in the place that you want :)You can always make the rig "more difficult to pan" by increasing your pan inertia. make your batteries and monitor extend further than normal. after some practice you will be fine!cheers!

Premium Members RonBaldwin Posted February 14, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Even after 20+ years in the saddle walking the line (or really having any straight edge as a reference) is very helpful. I fine less side to side with my back mount, but it is different for everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
