Ok so i am hooked on the 60d ever since i got it, said i was just going to introduce it a little for my weddings then bring in fully next year, whoops big mistake by me, i cant put it down!!!!! So im thinking my hv40s left in the bag my sonys left in the bag, im ready to go, went to my local church sunday filmed a little on a tripod, around house around park on a tripod,
Spoke to vertical works kren and they are using full tripod for everything, i have been searching for a monopod but im thinking just get a strong light tripod and use that, but!!! what do you guys use? also during tight spaces or in a compact room, is there no device apart from a bulky shoulder rig or tripod or do i just drop the tripod down and kick legs in a little and just use a tripod. If im trying to get portraits later in the church grounds and around hotel and such is it better with shoulder rig or tripod? Any thoughts on this? Can i use the 60d with a hand grip, flash bracket and the view finder magnifiyer? will that be steady enough? steve

Anyone got any input on this......
Tried a neck brace, tried a cowboy shoulder rig, tried a hand grip with flash bracket and canon strap tight around my neck, still getting shake from my body, anyone got it spot on with a simple rig, does the majority of videographers with dslr just use the monopod???? anyone out there wana bite?? steve

Hey !! I use MONOPOD all the time and my second camera use monopod and tripod just during the rings
at my wedding service.

Here is the one that we use..
Manfrotto Fluid Video Monopod W/Head 561BHDV-1 B&H Photo Video

I use a simple shoulder rig, seriously, just screw the camera on the top, two handles and a little length to rest on the shoulder, could be a 2 x 4, but I have the Glidetrack. Use it more as a shoulder rig than as a dolly and works like a charm, but you could build one yourself for less than 50 $

That said, I ordered the above monopod myself, for situations where I need a slightly longer lens and or can't move around as much

Thanks guys i will get a monopod also and build on to the shoulder cowboy rig... cheers franklin how do you do with the mono in the house morning prep where its tight?

Sometimes I use a lightweight tripod with only one leg down as a monopod. That way I have a tripod in my hands if I want to switch over quickly.

Mmmmmm interesting Keith, what a good idea!!! So the tripod gota be sort of heavyish to work? What a proper forum by the way this is.... Some other sites i go on or wayyyyy to smart for my liking. Thanks Keith

All the above mentioned would be fine for short, on the move clips. For the ceremony, speeches etc it has to be a tripod

Thanks Colin..
