Here it is. Though I do have my eye on an autopilot in the near future. I would recommend that one if you can swing it.

I could not agree more with you. When its comes to glide cams and steady cams your going to want to spend upwards of $100. Its pricey but can make a huge difference. I own this one currently and have had a great experience using it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DRGQETA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Can anyone tell me anything about this budget "steadycam"?

Obviously I wouldn't expect it to perform like a high priced one, but does anyone have any experience with it? My friend recently bought it and I'm thinking about it too,

• Camera bodies (a7s, 6d, t2i backup)
  
• Lenses (50mm prime f/1.8 (x2), 70-200mm f/2.8, 40mm f/2.8 pancake, 24-70mm f/2.8, 16-35mm f/2.8)
  
• Polarizing filters and ND filters
  
• Glide Cam
  
• 40" slider
  
• Camera crane (I believe ours is a ProAm 8', but I may be mistaken)
  
• Tascam DR-05
  
• Lav Mic (x2)
  
• Rode VideoMic Pro
  
• 32GB, 80MB/s SD Card (x5 and growing)
  
• Batteries upon batteries upon batteries
  
• Tripods (Ravelli)
  
• Chickenfoot knock-off
  
• Extra ball head because we always seem to misplace ours...
  
• We once had a drone, but it flew off into the sunset on us...
  
  Trim the fat wherever necessary but always think ahead and bring backups of what you need!
  
  EDIT: Forgot to mention the Sony camcorder we set up as a wide, stationary view of the whole ceremony.

Im torn between XR-2000 or HD-1000 so far, for my weight class.
Or even:

(being a cinematographer is expensive :(. )

Thanks! Yeah, just got a new steadicam as a toy and was eager to play with it. I am a Malick fan, so thanks again for that compliment. What car at the end? ... If you mean that noise, that's actually the waves. It was a crazy windy day. Lol I hope that's it, and I'm not somehow missing a car.
