If you've already got a tripod, you can get fluid head attachments that you can screw on the top.
There are a few off-brand alternatives that are a bit cheaper, but honestly it's worth paying a bit more for a better unit from a known brand.
Big disadvantage to those is that you don't have a ball head so leveling them out might be a bit of a challenge depending on what tripod you attach them to.
Don't go cheaper than Rode, their low-end video mics really are as cheap as you should risk if you want usable audio.
My Shinobi 5 inch monitor has been one of my best purchases.
Not only does it let me see what I’m recording better and more accurately than the crappy LCD’s cameras have, but it lets me know that my colors are exposed and balanced. plus loading LUTS on the monitor has helped with Slog and HLG shooting a TON.
Edit: this is the fluid head I use. The baseplate fits on the ronin S no problem.
Thanks for your reply! I have a pretty solid Manfrotto tripod and fluid head, I hope that's good enough. Would you say 400mm is enough reach or should I go for a 150-600mm?

I use this setup with the 502 fluid head: MT055XPRO3. The 502 is huge though, so you may want to check out the MVH500AH as an alternative.
I have.
This one works well.
It is interesting how he keeps his hand so steady and unmoving within the frame. I would guess that he has some sort of arm rest connected to the same fluid head that the camera is attached to. If not an arm rest then perhaps a smaller guide that pushes his arm along at the same rate that the fluid head is being panned. Notice that he does not operate the phone during these pans.
Watching it again more carefully I see at 3:25 a move that really looks like a fluid head tripod. Probably something like this Manfrotto head.
