DSLR Kits & Rigs
Individuals who work in the film industry need to have the proper equipment to get the job done. Apart from ensuring that you have the proper equipment, you also need to ensure that you purchase the items from a respectable company that keeps the items, sells high quality equipment, and is always available when you need items to purchase or when you just need customer support.
Equipment that you may be interested in purchasing includes the ProAim DSLR kit. This is a camera dolly that is utilized in forming smooth movements and actions. You may also consider purchasing a camera dolly that comes with a tilt head and pan, which helps with movement and also helps keep your camera secure. A jib/camera crane will enable you to capture the best shots. If you are looking for something that will help you while doing heavy duty jobs, the Flycam series is what you are looking for.
The Flycam series includes the Flycam Stabilization Steadicam System, which enables you to capture shots that you couldn't capture before. If you want to see what this system can do before you actually purchase it, there are online videos available that display just how the system works and how effective it is. You may also use the system to do various filming activities.
For instance, you can take an Aerial Fly up into a helicopter. Other products that are included in the ProAim DSLR kit are: follow focus cameras, accessories for the microphone, LCD monitors and arm, CINE led filters, glue pod, gimbal heads, shoulder mount and matte box. You need to have microphones when you are filming locations and/or people. It is also vital that you get the correct microphone that will be able to capture the important sounds, and disregard the sounds that are not so important. The filming industry is creating products like the ProAim DSLR kit to enable filmmakers and photographers to utilize their cameras to obtain quality results.
A shoulder mount is an extension that enables you to ease some of the camera weight unto your shoulder. The shoulder mount also reduces the amount of vibration and sway that you may experience while you are mobile. The more advanced shoulder mount that comes in the ProAim DSLR kit allows you to be able to attach various accessories to it, and you can customize the positioning of the camera in such a way that it fits exactly where you want it to.
It is essential to note that though the items of the ProAim DSLR kit are perfect for shooting video, some of them won't be perfect for hybrid shooting, since this type of shooting requires the camera to be positioned differently.

Need Advice With Shoulder Mounted Camcorder Rigs?
Hello.
To be more exact, I need advice on a purchasing a shoulder mounted steady cam system for a Canon Xl1s (or similar sized pro-sumer camcorder that weighs aprox 11.8lbs.)
I will be doing long shoots and need something that will put the bulk of the camcorders weight on my shoulders and not my arms.
I found this rig at ebay, http://cgi.ebay.com/Gliders-Shoulder-mount-Steady-rig-steadycam-fr-DSLR-cam-/350361438809?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51932b4a59
But, would love to talk to someone who has experience with shoulder cams and who could possibly recommend a store or model where I can purchase one at.
Thank you.
You may want to consider a shoulder brace that allows both your hands to be free to operate the camera. Because the Canon XL1s does not have an LCD screen, you'll be monitoring your shots looking through the view finder and making adjustments with your hand(s) as needed, such as focusing, etc.
I found one shoulder mount, the SP7 Pro that works on the basic principle of counter-balance. More weight is added behind your shoulder in order to counter-balance the weight of the camera in front of your shoulder. The actual brace itself is made of foam and is form-fitting, so that the entire weight of this rig is distributed comfortably and evenly and does not become a burden to carry.
