What is a circular motion around a object called when filming?

Question

You know that camera technique when the camera operator usually have a steadicam and runs/walks around a person.I'm trying to learn how to do that with my homemade glidecam but it is so hard. it would be nice to find a tutorial but I don't know what to search for.

Answer 1

You are looking for an orbit shot. Yes normally done with a steadicam but also sometimes done with a dolly track for someone standing still. Other equipment like drones and gimbals can be used as well.
