Hello, I've been poking around, but not really finding the info i'm searching for. I'll start out with this. I've been shooting with 35mm film camera's, and a canon 5d classic for a couple of years. Just recently got into doing video. My wife and I shot a short interview for a local non profit with her Canon 5D miii. I helped set up lights and audio. I shot my first short doc with a friend who is traveling doing sound baths. Its amateur at best. Still editing it now. We only have the 5D miii that does video. I've been looking around at budget friendly set ups and ran into the BMPCC. This little thing looks amazing!!! The picture quality just blows me away from what I've seen on Vimeo. I've read a few places and have seen a YT video about stabilization. And that its very difficult to shoot hand held. I've been mainly using a tripod, but I did do some handheld, albeit shaky b-roll stuff for what I'm shooting now. I want some smooth movements. So I'm going straight to the source, those of you that have this camera. Whats a good set up for it? I don't plan on running any audio at this time. I'm wanting to learn how to shoot video. Mainly for now just shorts of different scenes while around town or traveling. And maybe pair it with some music while learning how to edit and color grade better. Very much appreciated in advance. I am looking at used, and so far have the BMPCC, and either a SLR Magic 12mm 1.6, or an Olympus 17mm 1.8 on my list.
