Do you have a gh2? I can't decide which would be better for the gh2 plus slr magic plus monitor- should I go HD1000 or HD2000?

Ok so I have a cheap stabliizer but it shakes too much and isn't smooth when I walk. I have been looking into steadicams and I want to purchase one (under $500 if possible). I have a gh2 which is a light camera and then various lenses, from canon fd to slr magic. So I was looking into the...

Ok thanks

So I know this heavily discussed but is the only time that you should use 60fps is when you are doing slow motion? I use 24fps only- I have a gh2 but sometimes when I have shots that move across the room (like in a documentary) sometimes the people come out blurry.. should I have used 60fps...

Thanks everyone for the help. "I'm guessing these lights are more so for noobs like me and should serve their purpose up until you're serious about throwing 2-3k down for a light kit. I shoot 2-3 min sketches. Of those three do you still recommend the one you initially linked from Amazon? " I...

Ok thanks everyone for the help. I am getting a better understanding of LED lights now... It seems that LED's aren't worth investing in unless you invest a lot... I definitely can't afford those $2,500, but I mean would something like these even be worth it...

I got you... so if these won't be my "main" lighting source, what would you guys recommend for a good starter kit of lights for a shoot? As far as LED lights.

As far as LED lights, What can you recommend? I have been looking at these http://www.ebay.com/itm/4X-96-LED-Video-Light-for-DV-Camcorder-HDV-Z96-F135-/300546751509?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45f9fb7c15 I am deciding between something like those or something that I would have on a stand...

Auto white balance is the only AUTO part that I use. I don't know how to white balance, can someone point me to a good read or video on the subject. Or if you could explain yourself. Thanks.

Also, would this be good for video or just photography? I'm willing to spend more if there is something to better put my money towards.

Interesting that is real cheap. So do you not use auto white balance? Any other words on it?

I am looking into investing in a light set for my future film shoots. I haven't used many lights in the past,( a couple times with LED lights), but I think its necessary for the stuff I am trying to shoot. I will be shooting a TV show this spring and also a short film coming up. I enjoy low...

sorry i'm trying to upload the footage but im having trouble. Will be shortly.

Im new to color correcting my video and I want to learn. I have watched a few videos on how to correct with FInal Cut Pro x but I am more concerned with how to address my image. I know the controls, but i don't know what to do with them. I don't think my eyes see well enough to know when...

Is it really worth it to go with the cine version? I found a Bower 24mm 1.4 on ebay for 550$ but its not the CINE version and I may go with it.
