Im poor and want to get into filming-help

You could use a GoPro and a gimbal or some other camera with a gimbal. I use a hero 6 session and it works for me.

I think I'm gonna get a vx2k, I mean the dv isn't that big of a hurdle and I found one in my budget for sure, although to get a solid fisheye I'm prolly gonna have to pay more than the camera itself.

what kind of computer? iMovie isn't great but it works well for someone who is just starting.

If you're in high school or college and the school has a photography program, they most likely have all of the Adobe photo and video editing software. For a camera many things can be achieved through a smartphone, that's still what I film with, and quality isn't always the best, but this lack of quality makes you more creative with what shots you're getting. I love the footage that older cameras put out, but i havent pulled the trigger on one yet.

Yea man I'm in highschool and I'm in this dumb news class where we have adobe premiere so I may get away with some editing in class and potentially after school some time too. I currently have an Iphone 5 that is very ner the end of its days. The screen is popping half out and the battery is fried, I mean if it isn't charging it isn't on. I saved up some cash that I had gotten for christmas for a new phone(prolly somewhere around 350) and I'm deciding to buy a vx2000 that I saw pop up on craigslist. It's only 200 so I may try to get a cheap fisheye aswell, there is an opteka 0.4x fisheye that looks super mellow, at least until I get more serious and can save up and cop a mk2 or more likely an opteka titanium series .3x. Honestly if the deal is right the older dv cams are where its at, you don't get that with a gopro.

Yea thanks, Ive done the research and it still seems worth it, real quick as well, would it be worth it to get the heads cleaned professionally or j use rubbing alcohol and q-tips and get in there myself?
