Conclusion
reddit.com/r/videography
We've seen the rise of GoPro, the use of drones in Videography alongside your standard video assistance apparatus. The improved technology allows creators to explore new ways of shooting awesome videos, and cameras are unimaginably portable, tough, and have excellent attention to detail.
These days, because of the overall enhancement in media, we can see the incorporation of amazing special effects, sound quality and high-quality end product. This allows for flexibility in shot selection so that even average footage can look amazing in post-production. However, for videographers, this idea is generally despised as they want to get the best raw footage without having to edit it extensively.
Did you know that r/Videography is a great subreddit for budding and experienced videographers? I'm talking about the people who love filming and sharing their videos with the world.
My recent experience on r/Videography
I recently upvoted a question on r/Videography that was from a user who was looking for suggestions on the best hybrid video/still camera. His detailed specifications showed that he had a GH4, and he was unhappy with its low light performance and lackluster stills. He also said that he couldn't get good wide-angle coverage with his camera.
He specified that he shoots landscape photography and narrative video. He didn't have an inventory or lens loyalty, so he was free for any suggestion in the range of $2000. Within a few hours of this post, he received quite a few recommendations- Panasonic S1, APS-C: XT3, Panasonic G9, Lumix G9, and Sony a6500.
This confirms that even on posts with low interaction, you will find someone who is capable of answering your questions and providing you amazing recommendations.

There are around 109,000 members here, although 300-500 of them are online at any given time. This subreddit was created on April 11th, 2009, and it's quickly become a popular destination for videographers of all skill levels.

Moderators of r/Videography
There are hundreds of posts added to r/Videography each day, with people asking questions, providing recommendations, reviewing products, and sharing their personal experience. However, there are a few fringe elements that make it difficult for the rest of the community to feel welcome and want to create a nuisance. This is why there are nearly a dozen mods on r/Videography who work to maintain the decorum and keep the community feeling positive.
I found ten moderators on r/Videography at the time of writing this review. They are ?jorel314?, ?psychosid?, ?phloating_man?, ?thelocalproduction?, ?AnthonyWithNoH?, ?calomile?, ?AutoModerator?, ?smushkan?, ?pcgaminglisted? and ?Psynapsis.?

Browsing & Navigation
Being a part of a small community allows you to have an amazing browsing experience because subs with millions of followers and video content are impossible to browse on an internet connection. Even if you do, you will lose all your data within an hour. However, r/videography does have a considerable amount of video content so it is worth checking the page on WiFi as well as a data connection. After 45 minutes of surfing, I only spent 55 MB on my data

I put a gimbal on my roomba. No dolly was needed - 811 upvotes.
Interesting research has found that focal length and perception of speed are both important when it comes to photography. Some people like to keep their focal length as short as possible in order to capture more detail, while others prefer a wider angle in order to capture a panoramic view.
