Although the category discription says "The place for questions about shooting with Blackmagic Cameras" and my question is not about a Blackmagic product, I'm still posting this in here to assure that the right audience will see this post. Hopefully here are some DPs that wanna join the discussion.
I'm planing on expanding my entry level stabalizer setup to something more professional. Mostly DSLR work but also slightly bigger setups like the BMPCC 6K. I'm already about 60-70% up in the steadycam learning curve, so that shouldn't be a hindering factor for a larger steadycam setup but my question is:
Is steadycam nowadays still relevant enough in DP work to actually invest the money in such a system or will the more and more affordable gimbals cut out the steadycam systems. So is steadycam operator actually a future proof field to work in or will it be extinct in a few years from now?
Note: This discussion is not primarily about the differences (pros/cons) of the systems but about the validity of steadycam system as a stabilizing solution for motion picture work.
