I intentionally purchased GH5s as I wanted to shoot concerts with it (I also have DVX200, but that's different type of shooting). Now, I have trouble choosing the right stabilizer for it. I've watched everything I could on youtube and here are my thoughts:
- one handed stabs are not for me as I shoot with manual focus and I need to use Atomos Inferno. Plus, I am going to buy follow focus (probably redrock micro kit - this is another unknown). then, some kind of control should be attached to the stabilizer
- in order to use Inferno I want to buy Zacuto cage with inferno adapter. this seems like a good fit. but then I'll have to put the camera in the cage into the stabilizer
- with all this in mind, total weight is another concern
So, my current stabilizer of choice is Letus Helix Mg. It's lightweight and it allows everything to be attached as I want. But it's unclear from a few reviews how good it is. I also considered Ronin MX but it's bulky and heavy. And I've never used any stabilizers and I could be mistaken in my way of choosing it.
At the end, I want to be able to shoot hand held with Inferno, Rode mic, focus motors, focusing/camera controller, for the longer period of time the better.
Any ideas and comments are welcome. I appreciate it.
