I am starting up on filming other skier friends and already have a Canon t2i with a standard 18-55 lens and I am wondering what other equipment/lenses/accesories I am going to need/want to film, I have no other camera eqipmemt at the moment. Also if you have any filming tips or advice that would be greatly apreciated. Thanks!

Hey bro, so I'm no pro but I think your next move is a stabilizer, go with a glidecam off of eBay, and a decent tripod, then get a cheapo external mic (anything is better than the built in one) and buy yourself a new set of lenses, Now I don't know what Im talking about as far as lenses go so I can't reccomend anything but get a nicer one then the standard (but if you're strapped for cash it's fine). Most importantly have fun and shoot a lot

Jacking this thread. What would you guys say is a decent camera stabilizer other than the glidecam for around $100 or less? I know they make cheap variations that get the job done
