No need to get a handheld gimbal if you have a drone! In this weekly video Jonas gives us a walkthrough to a pretty cool technique whereby you can make a handle for the DJI Phantom 3.

This video will help you in some of those cases. No matter if you are shooting indoors or in a dense forest, this handle really helps keep the drone gliding smoother than just hand-holding it. You just have to find someone with a 3D printer…
