T2i Equipment Recommendations.

[clamber]

I bought a T2i the other day and I am using it mainly for photos at first, but I would like to start some filming with it aw well.

The main thing I want to do is motocross but Im sure Ill want to do all sorts of other stuff after a while.

I would like to get a crane, but Im not sure which to get, and what all I need to get with one.

Besides the crane, tripod/head, and monitor, is there anything else I need?

What crane would you recommend? Should I get a budget one, like the Kessler Lite, or save up for a higher end one?

What all do I need to hook up a monitor to the T2i, and what monitor would you recommend for someone on a budget?

Also, is the 18-55 an adequate lens for film-making?

Is there anything else I would need for just some basic film-making?

Thanks,
Coby

well i have bought a Tamron 28-300 i know its not the best lens but all i could afford or now,obviously spare battery and chip, i have ordered a hoodloupe but this thing worries me as i fear its not going to be a good purchase, i am lucky anf use my Rode Stereo mic that has served me well with my 550D as well now and it works well with it,i still have to get a wide angle as the stock lens is not wide enough for any wide filming but that will have to wait a while as my spending is done for a while sorry i cant answer your crane and monitor questions.:thumbsup:
