Video camera setup for me

[Bwithnewcast]

Okay, so i want a video camera rig (excluding audio setup) and i have 1500 dollars to use and i would like to get some recomendations for a rig.

I am going to use it for video/photgraphy so i think  a dslr setup would be the best choice for me, but i am new to cameras.

So what do you recomend for me (camera, sholdermount, lenses etc...)

if you go canon and you are still learning photo/videography, use a 24-105 f/4L IS lens. it is fenomenal. it has image stabilisation and has a decent zoom.

What shoulder rig should i use?

And which canon camera?

[JPotze]

the lens is around 1000 bucks. so you have 500 bucks left.

 

for image quality it is really better to invest in good glass in front of the camera. you can always buy a new camera later on.

 

a 1500 dollar camera with cheap chinese lens is more awfull then a 1000 dollar glass with a cheap camera.

what usecase you are gonna use your camera? allways outside with good lighting? or inside where you need more aperture? or are you gonna do timelapses. double exposures, are you gonna use a flashmount with professional flash equipment? what are you generally using the camera for?

I am going to use it for timelapse, in studio and take pictures.

When i am going to use it in a studio it is with porfessionale softbox and greenscreen that i am going to replace with a background in post

[JPotze]

if you use greenscreen, you want absolute sharp image or else the corners around someone gonna be janky in post.

Sony a6300 with the 18-105 f/4 

 

Do you need a stabalized rig? If not just get a cage for the a6300 there are several options. 

 

Later down the road you can invest in more glass. And if you are really serious the new Fujifilm MK 18-55 T 2.9 Cine lens that comes with a native Sony E mount.

What style of shooting will you do with the camera?  There are various ways to rig up a camera, it all depends on what you want to achieve.
