Which monopod and stabiliser

[sebbie89]

Hi.

I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC LX5 and I want to start making a videos.

I have 2 simple question.

1.Which monopod should I buy? I really need to be with fluid head, to avoid any interruptions during making videos.
2. I have a problem to buy a motion stabiliser. Because my camera weighs just 250 grams and I think is to light for any gimbal. So what kind of stabiliser would be good in my situation? Flycam FLYBOY III?



Thank you in advance for help.

You can't answer these questions without first figuring out WHAT you are going to shoot, and WHERE and HOW you are going to shoot them.

Btw, a "fluid head" makes sense on a tripod, but not on a monopod nor a stabilizer rig. Different purposes = different tools.

Think of a diamond. At the top stability point is the tripod. At the bottom, handheld. Monopods and stabilizer rigs are 2 different middle points. And this same diamond is flipped when comparing portability.
