Hi guys,

I am new in making video.
I Own a A6300, 16-50mm, 35mm F1.8 Lens, a pistol grib tripod, and a shotgun microphone.

Every time I added a new gear, I found that there is always things that I can't do. I encounter a lot of challenges, no wonder ppl says this industry is really money burning.
For example, monitor too small,when shoot in flat, can't check whether the object are in focus. Unable to monitor audio, noise too loud. beautiful image and composition but with unpleasant shake.

Recently, I save up some bucks and thought of adding new gear to my armory. Especially in improving my Camera movement.
Do you think that I should Invest in a Gimbal or Slider+Fluid head?
I am interested to shoot more on Narrative Video.

In your opinion, which one will you get first if you were me?

OR do you think that I should get other thing first?

Money burning is one thing. But abusing what you have is another great thing to do. brows.gif

Slider + fluid head is awesome for narrative video but if you manage to find something ranging from 60cm to 85cm is even greater. I am currently using a 100cm slider and i find them too long. Not to mention harder to setup when the place is small.

Gimbal is more for action type of videos as how goldfries mentioned. I personally don't think you would need it for now laugh.gif
