can people give me links to where to buy Magiqcam units primarily but also Glidecam, and any other bidy mount favs you may want to push.

this is for a camera system of (i would guess) 12-15 lbs



Also, has anyone used the Panasonic HD Varicam on any of these stabilizers? any pointers? How did you maintain focus?

thanks all!
Jeff

The Varicam is going to require a bigger stabilizer, Jeff--assume 20 lbs+ for that level of camera with accessories.

Unless the shots are intended to be all wide-angle and simple in nature, a remote (wireless) focus system will be required.

ok then,

could anyone offer me a quick crash course on remote focus? i.e. cost, past experiences, "watch out for...", best bang for buck...

thanks!
Jeff

I think remote focus is quite dear.
