So today is my birthday and I got $200.
I recently bought a t2i with the 18-55 lens and a 50mm prime. I have been shooting some videos with it recently and I have found that (for obvious reasons) the video is shaky. Otherwise i have yet to find any significant problems with the camera
So i figured that maybe i should get a basic steadicam or something. Or, I could get a tripod or anything else camera related (does not have to be a stabilizer). What would you suggest I buy?
thanks
 
i would suggest you continue saving money and when you have more, invest in a quality tripod (one of the most important camera-related purchases you will make). i think a lot of people here will agree with me on that one
 
if i were you id keep saving my money and build a cheap/free diy camera stabilizer for now while your waiting.
 
I bet it is better than my 28 dollar one from Walmart, ha I didn't have any money left over from my t2i so im stuck with it for awhile, hey but a 28 dollar tripod is better than no tripod.
 
im sorta going to be doing more follow cam/mobile shots. I know it is $300, but how is the manfrotto fig rig for stabilization? It just seems a little more convenient to me with both its smaller weight and size
 
yea glidecam is better unless you need to attach a bunch of shit. if you get a fig rig/gyro stabilizer combo it's waaaay better than a glidecam, but it is also a few thousand dollars.
