As I was in a no fly zone, I tried some handheld landscape/sea vista shots passing across vegetation and a rock in the foreground to create some movement. The shot was only covering a distance of a meter or perhaps a little more and I just gently moved my arms from one side to the other. I was disappointed with the results and smoothness and I could not see the gimbal making a huge difference compared to had I shot it without the gimbal and a similar wide lens. It seemed far less steady than had I flown in tripod mode and done the same shot ? I shot in 50p so can slow it sown in post which will help a little with the smoothness.
Am I missing something here ? I would appreciate any thoughts and tips as to how I might improve things ? Would one of those handheld devices/grips advertised on Amazon make a big deference ? I had operated the shot with the props off and had a good stable grip holding two diagonal struts.
