There are several steps to shoot a jib shot with a monopod:
Decide on the subject and location: Before shooting, decide on the subject and scene you want to shoot, as well as the best place to shoot. Choosing a suitable shooting position can make the picture more vivid and interesting.
Install the monopod: Install the monopod and make sure it is stable for subsequent shooting.
Adjust the angle and height: Adjust the angle and height of the monopod as needed so that it can simulate the movement trajectory of the jib lens. Different shooting angles can be achieved by adjusting the monopod's telescopic pole and inclination.
Lock the shooting target: Attach the camera to the gimbal of the monopod and lock the shooting target. Make sure the camera is aimed at the target and remains steady.
Move the camera slowly: When shooting, move the camera slowly so that the frame looks like a swingarm lens. Pay attention to control the speed and direction of movement to get the best shooting effect.
Adjust & Composition: During the shoot, adjust the composition as needed to get the best possible picture. This can be achieved using the camera's compensation and composition adjustment functions.
Shoot multiple angles: During shooting, you can try to shoot the same scene from multiple angles to get a different angle of the picture.
Post-processing: After the shooting is completed, the image can be post-processed, such as adjusting the color, contrast, and sharpness, etc., to get a more perfect picture effect.
With the above steps, you can use a monopod to capture the look of a swingarm shot. Please note that you should be steady and patient during the shooting, and keep experimenting and adjusting parameters such as angle and height to achieve the best shooting result.
