That's a million dollar shot right there. The MoVI is expensive to consumers but to filmmakers it saves them time and allows them to focus more on the perfect shot. In those terms it's a money saver. I want one LOL
That's one hell of a steadicam, but you'll need to make sure your camera operator has strong forearms
I love that drop shot, though. I've done those sort of shots with cranes before while running a remote head, but the ability to not be constrained to a giant piece of metal that's ultimately still attached to the ground would be freakin' amazing.
And I hate to say this, but all things considered, $15k is actually pretty cheap for a setup that versatile. Check out the price of proper film-grade steadicam outfits or mechanized cranes and you'll see what I mean.
What's your total equipment weight and price range? I'm a big fan of the Glidecam HD-series (i've got the HD 2000), but it's still a few hundred dollars for just the steadicam itself.
When it comes to steadicams, you want something that's as easy to adjust as possible, yet versatile enough that should you decide to switch between a 16mm prime and a 75-200mm telephoto, you only need to move the cheese plate in order to readjust the stability.
There are two things I look for in a steadicam:
-Cheese plate mount
-Fine-tune adjustment screws
Trust me, you will curse the day you ever bought one without both of those options.
My good god! You guys have some serious talent.
I have wanted to play with my DSLR and grab some video but I'm a photography noob and have done 0 video. I guess its about time I start learning.
A good friend have a glidepro that he will sell me for a good deal. I think I may have to snag that one up!
