Question

Professional Stabilizer Steadycam

Mar 25, 2015 1:48AM PDT

Hi.



I'm planning to buy a solid steadycam for my Canon XF-300. My price range is from 2000-3000, with all the kit (the monitor, the stand, etc...).

Someone has a suggestion?



I've checked the Flycam 7500 ( http://www.flycamdslr.com/hdvs/flycam-7500-carbon-fiber-stabilizer-with-... (link is external) )



And maybe the Came pro ( http://www.came-tv.com/came-2515kg-load-pro-camera-steadicam-video-carbo... (link is external) )



But I can't find a review. The Came pro seems more solid, and I've read some bad review about Flycam 5000. The 7500 seems better but I want to be sure.

Does someone have tried one of these product or heard someone who has done it?



I know that I can't afford a true Steadicam pro but my goal is to have the best in terms of quality/price.



Thank you,



Pierre-A. Pelletier

I only linked this because of the dead links. In the pro arena you may not want a DIY system. But this is part of the craft. That is, you create your own solutions.

(NT) Dead links. Just FYI.
