Surface Selection
The Sk8plate performs best on very smooth, clean surfaces. For optimal results, ensure your floor or table is free of debris, which can cause bumps or uneven movement.
Custom Tracks
While it works on flat surfaces, consider creating simple, smooth tracks (e.g., using PVC pipes or even wooden planks) for perfectly straight or precise curved movements over longer distances.
Low Angle Shots
Leverage the Sk8plate for dynamic low-angle tracking shots, as its low profile allows the camera to glide close to the ground, offering unique perspectives.
Weight Distribution
Ensure your camera and tripod head are securely mounted and balanced on the Sk8plate to prevent tipping and ensure smooth, consistent glides.
Practice Movement
Achieving smooth movements with the Sk8plate requires practice. Focus on a gentle, consistent push or pull, and maintain a steady hand to avoid introducing jitters.
