It's finally warming up here in Ottawa and I was able to go outside and operate my camera for a couple of hours at a time this week without my gloves on. This gave me a chance to work with my new gimbal and to record some ambient sound with my new on-camera shotgun mic. This video is my first crack at including all three things that I want to work on in order to "up my game" this year and hopefully make my videos more interesting and watchable. These things are: to include more cinematic elements such as creative camera moves (hence the gimbal); record on-location ambient sound; and shoot in C-Log3 as much as possible.
(By the way, I'm aware that the image quality on some of these clips is pretty crappy so no need to comment on that issue).
Cheers,

Very nice and left a comment on Youtube. May I ask what gimbal are you using? I do not own one but thinking about getting one for our camping trips with my dog. Not so much for wildlife. Glad you are getting some better weather, not so much here. I am going on a little trip leaving next week for wildlife. Hopefully I get some footage with the C50. This will be the first trip with it vs my dog or near by.
Thanks for watching and for your great comment on my YouTube channel.
The gimbal I bought is the ZHIYUN CINEPEER Weebill 3E. I did a lot of research before buying it and for what I want it (a no-frills, high weight capacity, does the job, reliable mini gimbal), it has some advantages over other brands... good customers service too.

Nice Rudy. I’m still using the 7yr old Weebill S. It works great, so I imagine your updated version is near perfect. I’m surprised my motors haven’t burned out because I’m overloading it with the RF 24-70, but it’s still kicking after 5yrs of use.
Wow Brett, you're flying the 24-70 on it - that's monstrous compared top my feather-weight 50/1.8 and 16/2.8. Great stuff.
