Hey NS: Heres my new video setup. Would like some feedback, tips or just whatever!

Cam: Canon Rebel t3 w/ 18-55 lens and I have a new fisheye attachment with it.





Stabilizer: Opteka X-GRIP Professional Camera Stabalizer



and some other stuff like lens hood and filters.

Toss that shitty screw on fisheye and get a rokinon 8mm if you want a real fisheye.

Roan.well shit.


My friends have learned the hard way as well. If you're going fisheye/wideangle, always buy a dedicated lens for that.

I had that same setup but t3i for a while. Upgraded to a rokinon 8mm and it is so much better. The footage will look better if you turn the image stabilizer off so the vignette doesnt shake around. But its not going to be great

I bought a used Rokinon 8mm from a guy who filmed skateboarding for like $170 and it works like a charm. even with a cheap lens like the Rokinon 8mm, Craigslist is your friend.
