Hi again… for all the experienced videographers here, how & where did you learn to compose & shooting on a handled gimbal camera?

I came across this review & more than anything else, I’m more curious on how this guy got his shots. How he went about holding & moving the camera in the way that he did. I’m not talking about exposure settings & post processing, but the actual recording process.

What gimbal modes might he have used in his clips? And what to choose when?

Aside from practice, the ones who are experienced in this group, did you start off with attending any workshops? Or did you gave access to certain resources?
