Movement with Purpose:
Stability Meets Agility.
Movement should never be an accident. In cinematography, how the camera moves dictates how the audience feels. Whether it's the rock-solid stability of a corporate interview or the heart-pounding rush of an FPV drone chase, my stabilization kit is chosen to match the energy of the story, not just to 'keep it steady.
The Workhorse: The Manfrotto Video Monopod
If you see me at a wedding or a dance competition like Elite Dance Productions, I am likely running my Manfrotto Fluid-Head Monopod.
Stabilizing the lenses to get the best out of them is important.
-
Why not a gimbal? While gimbals have their place, they can sometimes feel "robotic." The monopod is the professional choice for candid agility. It allows me to get tripod-stable shots while pivoting and moving in a split second to catch a laugh, a tear, or a sudden change in choreography.
-
The Fluid Drag: The fluid head enables organic cinematic pans and tilts. It gives me the "human touch" that makes a film feel authentic rather than manufactured.
The Differentiator:
DJI FPV (First-Person View)
Most videographers have a "flying tripod" (a standard drone that sits in the air). I prefer to fly the DJI FPV.
Immersive Storytelling:
FPV drones allow for high-speed, acrobatic maneuvers that a standard drone simply can't do. I can fly through tight gaps, track a car at 100km/h, or dive down a cliffside in Cape Breton to create a sense of scale that is truly breathtaking.
The "Wow" Factor:
For tech companies or event organizers, this is the tool that provides the "hero shot." It’s an aggressive, exciting perspective that grabs attention in the first three seconds of a video—crucial for high-reach social content.
Mobile Agility:
Zhiyun Smooth 5 & iPhone 16 Pro Max
For the "Content Cache" projects, speed and vertical stability are king.
I pair the iPhone 16 Pro Max with the Zhiyun Smooth 5 gimbal. This setup allows me to move through a corporate event or packed wedding dance floor with perfect 3-axis stabilization. It’s the ultimate tool for "Behind the Scenes" content or high-fidelity TikTok/Reels that need to look polished but feel immediate and "now."
The Anchor: The Fluid-Head Tripod
When it’s time for the Founder Interview or the Wedding Ceremony, the tripod is the unsung hero. I use a dedicated fluid-head tripod to ensure that when the camera isn't moving, it is absolutely locked. There is no "micro-shake" or "drift." This stability allows the viewer to focus entirely on the person speaking, providing a level of "Professional Trust" that only comes from high-end equipment and proper setup.
