Like everybody else, I watch a lot of YouTubers. Nathan's videos are all killer and no filler. There is so much value in his free YT videos. That being said, I've bought 3 of his video courses with no regrets. I refer to the course videos almost ever time I do editing. Even though I haven't started to do a lot of high end RE shoots yet, because I use the techniques learned from NC on the lower end properties I shoot, the agents are blown away. Thanks Nathan, keep up the good work.

I have essential tremor, too. So did my dad, so do 2 of my 3 kids. Fun stuff! Not. But you learn to work with it. Cheers! Great video!

I've got a handheld gimbal with a Sony setup, but after practicing and still not being happy with the results, I found myself getting pretty frustrated. My arms were tired, and I was starting to think I have no upper body strength (I'm a woman who doesn't lift weights, after all). I even wondered if maybe this wasn't for me.

But then I watched your video, and I love the idea of practicing with a glass of water test! I'm definitely going to try that. The way you broke everything down and pointed out what to look for to find my mistakes was so helpful. Thanks for the tips!

Hi Nathan, I so love your work! I have learnt so much from watching your videos. What settings are you using for video? The light seems very even, even when you are near a window. Keep up the great work! Thank you!

The whole time I watched this video I just kept thinking of you as Mr. Miyagi asking a student to water all the plants of your garden using just a full glass, one at a time. 😂 jokes aside, amazing video !

Cool video Nathan! A couple of questions if you don’t mind. What camera are you using on the gimbal or the kitchen shots cause they look pretty good. I also have the Ronin Gimble are you ever using the little knob that turns the gimbal or you just using all movements with your body? Thanks!

How often do you find yourself slowing down your footage in post (if at all)? I'm asking because I'd like to offer video but my a7iii can record 4k 30 fps which wouldn't give me room to slow the footage down (unless I use some sort of interpolation or ai tool or record in 1080p instead). Thanks!
