Here’s an example showing off how you can emulate a smooth slider shot by using only a gimbal.
In order to get the smooth slider-esque shot, you simply need to attach the gimbal to your tripod. Afterward, position the gimbal facing forward and through your gimbal’s settings, lock it down. By doing so, you prevent the gimbal head itself from moving. Now if you move the gimbal left and right via the tripod, the camera will remain facing forward, mimicking the motions of a traditional camera slider.
