I think that was mostly canon 50mm prime or 24-70 for the last episode (after I got the 5D)

On the 7D I would shoot with tokina 11-17mm.

Ideally I would like a 35mm prime on the full frame. 24-70 is too heavy!

I use a glidecam HD 2000. I had a flycam nano and sold it. the flycam is a good place to start out if you want to ‘see if its for you’ but I grew out of it pretty quickly. I would recommend the glidecam, I would also possibly think about the glidecam HD 4000. It can carry a little extra weight, which is nice if you wanted to say, have the 7d, a 24-70 and a mic, or LED light on the hotshoe. The 2000 can manage it, but the 4000 is better! Guys like theo muse and moxley (DTF) both use 4000’ for filming snow.

I thought about upgrading to the 4000 recently, but throwing my coin at other things first!
