Quick Question

Hey guys,
dropping in to ask a quick question.

I've been working hard lately on my editing and filming, and I was wondering if you guys think a Flycam 5000 Pro would be OK to film skiing with. I don't really want to spend some of my hard earned money on a glidecam unless you guys think the flycam is kinda sketchy.

+k for answers

If you're going to spend the money just get the glidecam. You could always sell it if you need it. Follow the main camera rule: buy it good instead of buying it twice

If you don't mind me asking what do you to earn your "hard earned money"?

No. Working on my skills has become top priority, after school of course.
