Session #1 – The Basics
Saturday, November 21
The first session will discuss the history and development of the technology that makes lightweight stabilized camera gimbals possible. And we’ll present the basics of preparing a camera package and a gimbal for use on set – from building the camera to balancing to tuning and understanding basic settings. This session will give ACs and camera operators the background, preparation, and have a solid footing for the next two sessions, which will examine specific use-cases.
Presenters: Larry McConkey, SOC, Jim McConkey, SOC, Chris Wittenborn, and Craig Bauer
The recording of this session will be available in the Member Resources area.
Session #2 – Studio Mode
Saturday, December 5 from 11am–1pm PST
The second session will explore using the popular combination of the DJI Ronin 2 and the Flowcine Black Arm in a studio setting. Through the development and setup of a complex dolly shot, we’ll come to understand how to use these devices, how they work together, and the common problems that may arise. This understanding can then translate to other demanding scenarios.
Presenters: Dave Anglin, Chris Wittenborn, and Craig Bauer

Session #3 – Advance Use Cases
Saturday, December 19 from 11am–1pm PST
The third session will delve deeper into advanced camera movement and the work of Jim McConkey, SOC and Larry McConkey, SOC with the Freefly MoVI PRO. We’ll examine the demands presented by multi-platform shots and how expanded use of creative camera movement can advance our ability to tell the story. Discussion of the technical challenges that may arise on set and how to overcome them will be included.
Presenters: Jim McConkey, SOC, Larry McConkey, SOC, Tom Willis, SOC, and Craig Bauer
