Today's filming definitely did not go to plan. I ended up going out a lot later than I had planned (I left home at 1pm instead of in the morning), which meant that I only had a couple of hours to film before it started getting dark. Also, a lot of time was wasted at the beginning as I struggled to get the Gimbal to operate properly.
I set it up and turned it on, stabilising it via the app, and it was working perfectly... for about five seconds. It started spinning every time I held it straight up without moving it and it was not doing what it was designed to do. I tried turning it off and back on again *numerous times* and every single time I tried, it started vibrating and I didn't know how to stop it. I gave up and decided to use the hand held stabiliser instead which wasn't the best, but it still worked better than if I were to have just held the camera in my hands.
I didn't get all of the shots that I had planned on getting, so next weekend I will be going out and filming all that I should have gotten done today, and I will make sure to be out early so I can spend as much time as I need to on it without worrying about bad lighting in the afternoon.
I will be editing all of these shots during my next lesson and hopefully I have a few that I like and am happy to use in my film.
