4 Quick Ways to Create Smooth Camera Movement

In this video, we will show you 4 creative and affordable ways to create camera movements.

1. Bag Stabilizer (0:04)
Get a gift bag that is big enough to fit your camera inside. Cut a hole out on one side of the bag as we will be poking the lens out from the inside. Put your camera into the bag, then your DIY stabilizer is done! Isn't that simple? Just carry the bag when you are walking and filming the shots. You can see how smooth it is from our video.

2. Car Dolly (0:43)
You can use a bag of rice to help stabilize your camera when your vehicle is in motion. You can put the 20 lbs of rice in many places such as the hood of your car, the roof of your car or in your car window. Once your camera is stabilized, you are ready to shoot. Just make sure your driver is driving at the right speed so that you can get the perfect shots.

3. Tripod Crane Shots (1:29)
All you need is the crane arm on your tripod. Slowly rotate the crane arm and film when the camera is lifting or going down. Isn't it easy? You will get very steady shots using this trick!

4. DIY Camera Jib (2:33)
All you need to do is turn your tripod into a two-legged tripod. Detract one leg of the tripod. Then place the two-legged tripod on the floor, and move in or out to simulate a jib shot or Steadicam shot. Not only a professional camera jib can achieve such results. Using this trick, you can turn any kind of tripod into a camera jib as long as you are able to detract one leg of it.

These guys are scammers. They do not provide a "FREE" version of their product, but a "TRIAL" version. Clean up your act guys! Lying to your potential customers kills your image.
