You can buy a shoulder rig with 12" 15mm rails for 200 bucks... yeah its not the size of the bottom of your dslr, but is it really such a hassle to carry a should rig system with you? that little arm thing isn't going to work THAT well. the best part about this is that it has rails but you can get a baseplate with rails for 100 bucks...

Haha indisystem is such shit. I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow managed to make bad rails, which is hard to mess up.

Not a bad choice, but why do you want it? I feel like people get so caught up in rigs and they never need them.

No f'n way! Edelkrone makes solid stuff. Overpriced, yes. But at least it isn't some random dude jimmy rigging shit in his garage out of home depot parts.

I don't need it at all. Absolutely pointless to be honest. I dont have a follow focus or anything like that. So it would be dumb. Just for future use.

Replacing my kit lens next

Selling kit lens and buying zoom h1

Getting another lens

LED light

Filters

Another Lens

etc.

LED lights are immensely useful for everything except glidecamming, and even then they have their use.

Relying on ISO is for noobs. I don't care if the image is noise free, it looks like shit without proper lighting.

a single LED light directly into your subject isn't exactly "proper" lighting

I have heard good things about these ones. http://www.amazon.com/LED-CN-160-Dimmable-Camcorder-Panasonic/dp/B004TJ6JH6/ref=cm_rdp_product and watch the review videos and search it on youtube. you will find some good things. When barely turned on it still looks like natural lighting.

You're right, but that isn't what I'm implying. Of course on-camera mounted lights are going to look like shit. It's just plain dumb to get worked up over ISO performance when all you're doing is comparing which image looks less light shit rather than which one looks remotely pleasant.

Small LED lights are insanely useful (especially when coupled with a clamp system like the Manfrotto magic arm) because even a single, small light can make a world of a difference. For instance, your shot would've looked much better with an LED backlighting the DJ, or on the other side of the counter facing upwards toward the ceiling.

I know in Weeds the director usually uses a tiny LED light about 7' off the ground shined directly into Nancy Botwin's eyes to give her that spacey DGAF look she has all the time.

If you're trying to shoot an interior car scene, place an LED with a cool gel on the lap of each person and dim it down a bit.

Big LED lights are a bit more impractical for obvious reasons, but a micro LED is definitely on my list of things to get.
