Samuel Berger Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Last March I got a Canon EOS R and I have used it mostly for still photography. I was wondering what accessories one would buy for using it for making films, like, what external recorder, etc. I have a SmallRig Cage for it and that's about it. I'd like to do some handheld and I'm not terribly impressed by the stabilisation. I own the kit zoom. I have yet to purchase a 70-200 2.8 because it's just really hard to decide which one to get now that the RF is out. My other cameras are all EF mount and I might actually add a BMPCC 6K to my collection for greenscreen work. So that's delaying my decision. The RF zoom seems to be superior. My B cam is the Canon M50. The only complaint I have with it is that there is no DPAF in 4K. I light with a couple of SL60W's since they were cheaper than the Aputure 120d and apparently just as good. Not sure what I would add to my light kit. Those lights are pretty strong! Anyway, open to suggestions on building out my EOS R kit for narrative fiction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Tore Soerensen Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 You don't want stabilization for handheld work, you want to make the camera as heavy as possible to get the shot naturally stable. Digital stabilization looks artificial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
