With this class, we’ll cover all of the gimbal basics, such as: • What can a gimbal do for you? • Unpacking and setting up your gimbal • How to balance your gimbal • The different shooting modes for DJI gimbal • Practical shooting tips for DJI gimbals

Please make a note of which classes you have signed up for. Some of the Eventbrite ticket notifications will indicate the full time of the Anniversary sale event time, not the time of the individual class you signed up for.
