I am putting my budget together for the purchase of the HMC150 along with other equipment that would be nice to buy along with it for a multiple of upcoming projects. I few items that I am looking for some guidance are...

Manhattan HD Pro Monitor HD089
​
Camera Support: Recommendation?
VariZoom VZ-UltraLite Compact, Lightweight Hand-Held Stabilizer
VariZoom VZ-FPC FlowPod Stabilizer System with Case
Steadicam Merlin Camera Stabilizing System

​
Cranes/Jibs: Recommendation?
CobraCrane 210036 CobraCrane Backpacker

Thanks for any help and guidance you may share with me.

Can we assume you are buying a tripod? I own a Manhattan and it is a descent monitor for the money and the guys are a sponsor of our group and we should support them. But a Marshall or Panasonic will be my next monitor for the added setup features,wider viewing angle and of course better image unless Manhattan moves into that league.
Buy a Kessler Crane, they are well designed and built and quite simply just work perfectly. Also a sponsor and reviewed and raved about here by many.
Can't help you on a stabilizer, I own a flowpod I bought from one of the mods here and have used it once and now I am looking for a vest because it is wicked on the arm unless you are Iron Man.
Good luck !
 
Thanks guys. This is some good input. Yes, I already have a tripod and some other gear that I use with my DVX. - Bryan
