Replying to The How to be a Good Filmer Thread

This is a thread for all the new filmers and some of the equipment you need.

1. Camera (If you like DSLR or actually video cameras) its all your choice or preference.
2. Tripod and head. (Manfortto IMO makes the best)
3. A specific camera made backpack so you can carry your shit (THINKTANK bags are the bomb)
4. Your choice of stablizer IMPORTANT FOR A FOLLOW CAM (glidecams are my favorite)

That is a BASIC set up for a starting ski filmer.

Now it's your turn! add on whatever you think would be important go in order from most important to least :)
POST A PIC OF YOUR SETUP!
Or even better post a thing of gear or gadgets you think are important and give us some demo footy of what it can do!
