Since I released my gimbal hyperlapse tutorial, I’m very often asked whether I used a gimbal for the shot (and why I decided to use a tripod ;)). The answer is simple – both techniques give different results. And we should choose the right technique for what we want to accomplish. Below, you can find a video that explains differences between these techniques.
To be clear – I call a gimbal hyperlapse a technique, in which you walk with your gimbal handheld. A tripod (classic, regular) hyperlapse is a technique, in which you use a tripod/monopod and move between the pictures, not during taking pictures. The classic hyperlapse can be shot with a gimbal mounted to the tripod/monopod (and I shoot like that quite often) but the result would be the same. For detailed information, check out the tutorials below.
I hope now you can distinguish these two techniques, when you see a hyperlapse shot 😉 It’s best to learn both and use different techniques for different projects. Gimbal hyperlapse is much faster to shoot, but there’s nothing better than a classic hyperlapse effect 😉
Show me your shot on my Facebook group! Also, if you want to be notifed about new posts on my blog, click the little red bell in the bottom left corner 😉 See you next time!
