What happens here

For more interesting and diverse shots, especially wide-angle footage, the creator started using GoPro cameras. These were often attached to extension poles or even paint brushes for unique perspectives. He also adopted gimbals like the 'Smooth' and later the DJI Osmo Mobile to stabilize smartphone footage. These gimbals allow for smooth camera movements, eliminating jerky footage when walking around and filming, which is crucial for viewer engagement.
