How to Shoot Solo B-Roll with a Smartphone & Zip Line!

Nice work. I'd only see value in this set-up for places where a drone is prohibited or where I would want to do a low-light time lapse. Other than that this seems like too much work for me to capture b-roll compared to what I can get with a drone..

In a world without drones, this contraption would be king.

Brilliant demonstration of the techniques and equipment. I wouldn't have thought a full film crew, but would have imagined a good drone operator working with you. Possibly a super-expensive self shooting drone.

One thought on the film is that I would have preferred the final shot to be a reverse and/or POV of your perspective from the top of the rocks, but either way, really enjoyable and informative, and a great illustrative end result.

Your energy & clarity are great.

I will be checking out both the zip line and the gimbal. Curious what editing software you are using? Couldn't quite tell from the brief glimpse.

can I string it from goal to goal at a soccer game?

I love the video

When you recreate the whole sound from scratch, please don't use the sound of close-miked footsteps when you're far away from the camera. That is especially irritating in the first shot.
If you don't find the right samples, turn down the volume and the lows. If it's inside, in a canyon, or somewhere else where you would get it naturally, add some reverb. I guess there barely aren't any places, other than the hovering high above the ground, where you wouldn't get at least a tiny bit of reverb.

That's very good

Absolutely insane. Thank you for sharing this.

Old Cody Ko has some great filmmaking advice!

GREAT video - you made it look so simple - and for only $350 - and I was blown away by how good the final edit was!

Great job. Thanks for ideas.

I wanted to make a movie: Zip Line, Director's cut. But crashed my phone.

This was Hollywood level videography with low budget set-up 🎉❤❤

How do you explain a thing like this that is more expensive than a latest generation drone that does even better?

Lovely.

Thank you. That was very helpful. I could feel the rise in conscience.

This is great. This is a game changer for me, especially with all the rules they keep adding to using drones.

I've just spent the last week making this , now I'm seeing the video, I've also toyed with the idea of attaching my mini 4 pro to the zip line thus giving me control of camera views panning and tilt etc,

Cảm ơn bạn chia sẽ những việc hữu ít.

Why not use a drone? Am I missing something?

I have the Wiral lite. You use the winder to help tighten the line. The instructions show you how to to do this. You don't have to tie it off like you are.
When you crashed it at the end, tells me you never set start and end stop points. Great video. Cheers

LOL. Your visitor was not a buddy. I have not seen a buddy with an utter and nipples....😆

The final was awesome. Great job, and thanks for sharing

Would a drone would do the same thing?

The visitor just walked by with a t bone inside it😂

I bought one of these off the kickstarter. I use it about twice a year. It is always fun and my friends always want to hook their camera on it. I wish I could figure out how to put the anchors where ever I wanted them. I have tried a few things but the rope needs to be kind of tight so solid anchors are a must. The strap does a great job of getting the correct tension. I am open to ideas. I don't want to bolt into rock just for one shot. Maybe some sort of mast with guy wires?

looks nice . i will cut some of the walking shoots they are like 3 shoot that u can cut from the video

Bro just use a drone

Are there alternatives for the word ‘shot’? Maybe take, or scene, or setting? This would make the audio less repetitive I’d say 😅

INVISIBLE MARKETING! This is how to craft a straightforward, to-the-point, engaging, authentic, and genuinely enthusiastic pitch that truly sells your product(s)! If only those boring, disingenuous TV ads infesting MSM would take note...

The DJI Osmo 6 is only USD $130 as of Oct 2024, that’s insanely cheap for a gimbal that size and those features.

I have been trying at home with a string and pulleys somehow this great video found me! Great job!

to complicated...I need sometning to start within 3-4 seconds without set up for 30 minutes prior...now I bought DJI Neo. this will do

Drone? The same price as this would cost you can purchase a drone...

I have 2 words amazing AMAZING!!!!!

great filming

Equipamento Maravilhoso!

A darker green/brown line or something a bit less conspicuous and it would be a challenge to think it wasn't drone footage. Awesome idea - there's been a number of pull dollies (rope/pullies) but the motorized feature is great. Insta360 footage would be amazing.

link Wiral Zip Line no exist

Amazing!

I own a Wiral lite
I can’t manage to have a stable shot.. it’s always dangling and swinging back and forth.. any help

Exelent

This is fascinating, thank you.

Healp Me Drone

Dji neo ,👍

Thanks❤❤❤

Why pay so much for that widget. It costs more than the latest pocket size dji drones.

Hello! Joop here from the Netherlands. What a good idea to do this. I think that this must be also possible with the Osmo Pocket 3 in the tracking mode. What do you think?
