I am thinking of getting one of those on camera LED lights for the GH1, and would like to know if anyone has some affordable recommendations or footage they shot with one of these lights.

I am also considering getting some sort of low cost rig.... I have actually been using my tripod (extended a little bit with the legs in) as a sort of cheapo steadicam to some success but eventually I need a better solution.

Also what is the best el cheapo way to get dolly track moves without being able to afford the real stuff? Tubing? skateboard? wheelchair?
 
for long duration dolly shots you'll want a track. lots of diy tuts out there for those.
otherwise, for short dolly shots (like quick broll takes), i recommend a zaza slider.

for a handheld rig, the spiderbrace is cheap, the multirigpro from dvtec is better, and you can find some cheap options at thecinecity.com.
 
I have a Vidled and love it. It's the one with the battery built in. It works great on camera and as a small off camera light. The Coleman kit posted above looks like the best bang for your buck.
 
Of course. For my wedding job, I wouldn't bring the Pro LED light. But for someone with a tight budget, or for personal use, that will be great choice. :) It's just the warming filter is mostly useless. :/
