I already have this lens but i haven't used it up skiing. I am wondering if anyone else uses this lens and if so, what do you use as a stabilizer. also if any one has any ski videos that they have filmed with this lens i would like to see them.

There's tons of stuff done with that lens, out there. Most fisheye stuff off of DSLRs you'll see was done with this lens.

Stablizers? Flycam brand if you're cheap, Glidecam brand if you have more cash to throw down.. Opteka X grip or something if youre REALLY cheap... either that, or just any random stabilizer setup you find on amazon/ebay will likely do better than none.. or just DIY if you're into that.

not exactly the 8mm fisheye but its the rokinon 7.5 mm fish. All shot with it. Hope it helps.

Would work fine. Look on youtube, I'm sure theres tons of folks who have done that for either that particular lens, or other UWA lenses.
