Canon 7d Shoulder Mount Views

• General Goods

The more time I spend with the Canon 7D shooting video, the more I start thinking about a shoulder mount stabilizer system. Of course, there are the kits by Redrock Micro and Zacuto for over $1000. Even, the newest kit on the market by Varizoom start at over $400.  How would you like to give a shoulder mount system a try for less than $50!

In the video, you can see my shadow when I am walking on the boardwalk.  I had the Canon 7D mounted on the Stabilizer with the Canon 15-55mm f/2.8 EFS (with IS enabled), Rode VideoMic, Hoodman Cinema Kit (with HoodLoupe 3.0, HoodEYE 3.0 and Cinema Strap) and carrying the Canon 100-400mm L in a LowePro Lens Case #4.  After walking around for about 4 hours with this set-up, the cold beach weather was bothering me more than the weight of the equipment.

Thanks for this very interesting review of the video mode of 7D. Thats basically what I was thinking about the kind of set-up you cam make with a camera like this. Sure, its has some cons but globally, I really think that video DSLR will be the new way to make shorts soon. I used to study in the cinema field and all the set-up with real camera video is not necessarily better or easier. Using an external sound rec device and a good shoulder mount or tripod can replace any semi-pro video camera, considering the amazing field of depth that gives you (something semi-pro cams don't without expensive video only lens).But one thing it really interest me is what you said about the 5D. Canon announced a firmware update to bring these additional framerates to the 5D sometime next year . I think that could be THE thing that would change people's mind on buying the 7D. I'll be probably one of them if it happens.

Canon EOS HD Video Production has its challenges. While the small form factor of HD-SLRs are creating new opportunities for the way productions can be shot, they also function much differently when shooting video than when used to shoot still photographs. While a good quality tripod with a fluid head should be the first support system any shooter should purchase for their camera, one of the most common ways to shoot with HD-SLRs is handheld or with some sort of shoulder-mounted support system. Without some sort of support rig, it can be very difficult to get steady shots for your productions.
