I have no idea what you're asking. You said the movie folk make it look easy. I tried to explain that while it may look easy in the finished product, it takes a lot of work to get there. Nothing more. Peter attempted to make the same point. When shooting with a camera on tripod with a movie head or any head, you don't get a chance to frame before you shoot -- assuming you haven't hired a train and crew to work with you. You make your best guess and try to keep the train in frame as it roars by. That's easier when you're handholding. Been there, done that.
