Below are the final shots fashion editorial for Vulkan magazine and videos captured during the same fashion photoshoot using my new gimbal Ronin-S. :) I’m very grateful to have had an assistant on location operating the gimbal and mounting phone Ronin app as a tracking external monitor/ touch screen. Those high angle big cinematic movements wouldn’t been possible without him. Can’t wait to practice and use it again. Until next blog, thanks for reading!
