hi, I would just like to ask for your recommendations about a steadicam suitable for m43 setups. Currently I am still using a GH1 and EM-5, but plan to upgrade in the future.

I am just getting into video work and usually do photography, so I don't have any experience using steadicams. As such, ease of setup and use are quite high priorities.
My budget is up to about US$500 I suppose, but I'm willing to be flexible on that if need be.


Thanks for your advice :)
 
Glidecam HD-1000 or HD-2000 are my recommendations. I have the HD-2000 and am pretty happy with it. Not sure what qualifies as easy setup, but with practice I think it can become easier.
 
I use a Steadicam Merlin for my gh2 and gh3 and love it! I am selling it due to having a business partner who owns one.

If you interested I have it for sale on here for $300 obo!
 
This is some equipment you may want to look at, it illustrating the Wieldy 1-7kg Steadycam Vest/Arm Stabilizer system http://cheesycam.com/wieldy-dual-iso-arm-vest-video-stabilizer also their Carbon Fibre Stabilizer. http://cheesycam.com/wieldy-hdv-pro-iron-triangle-carbon-fiber-video-camera-stabilizer This equipment is priced very well, I'm ordering it to use with my GH3 MFT Camera and possibly with heavier cameras like a BMCC and AG-HPX250, check it out.

By the way, I also have a Blackbird Stabilizer, If your planing on buying a Steadycam Merlin Vest/Arm this would be a good choice. Blackbird has a Z Post that they sell separately for use with the Merlin Vest/Arm. http://www.camotionllc.com/blackbird.html

Also wondering if anyone could recommend any relatively cheap 3-axis brushless motor gimbal systems?
