2020 Senatorial Campaign: Kevin Smith

by

I haven’t done much to capture candidates across the State this cycle. For the most part, I’ve let them come to me (not going out as much with a young family in the form of the Grandson). But last night?

It was the monthly Belknap County Republican Committee meeting at the Gilford Public Library and Kevin Smith was the Keynote Speaker.

 

 

Note: I’m still learning how to use my new phone (Samsung S22 Ultra for its fast process and proclaimed great video) as well as the new gimbal system (DJI OM 5).

DJI OM 5 gimbal system

Any “stuttering” or awkward-looking shots is me not understanding that if I “do this,” it may not be “what it actually does.”

The phone and rig Bluetooth each other and the DJI App running on the phone control the gimbal as they interact with each other.

Most of the video was done in Tracking mode so that when Kevin would move forward, the gimbal would turn the phone automatically to keep him in the existing frame. Nice feature. I don’t have to keep moving the “camera” myself/

It would be nice if I can figure out how to configure the Tracking to “move only when he moves out of this smaller virtual frame” to stop some of that back and forth.  But hey, it’s only the second time I’ve used it.
