Experiences with shooting skiing og 7D (filming)

So I´m buying the 7d.
Mainly because of the fact that if I was to get a good 35mm adapter with all necessary extras, it would've cost almost as much (I live in Norway and have to pay a shitload of taxes and customs), and now I can take photos as well witch is awesome considering I take media classes. Plus the format is handy. I´m currently looking at an IS 18-135 f3.5 lens btw.

Any thoughts?

I shot last year with the 5Dmk2 skiing. Did follow cam, tripod shots and everything went well. Just prefocus and shot.

This was the first thing I ever shot on the 7D, super rad camera, just make sure you have the correct support equipment (good tripod, maybe a shoulder mount and/or steadicam)

That was sick Trent! Also thinking this will be a good choice for me as I´ve just started getting some jobs making short films of different types.. Did you use a pocket dolly on some of those shots?

Thanks!

I made a slider that I use a ton, I also have a dolly I made but dont use that as much. Link to how to make the slider: http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=145701

As for color grading I just used Apple's Color on that one. Sometimes I use magic bullet looks but not on that video.

I'm on Igus's website but can't find those parts. The part number from the forum isnt working.

Huh, I think I just called them and ordered it, I cant remember what the part number was though, I thought I just used the one off that thread. Try calling them and asking if they have anything under that product number.
