Here’s my current setup for video on my 7D. The lens is actually a borrowed 50mm used for the shot (I currently own the 50mm f/1.8). I also have a crazy huge Manfrotto tripod I use when it’s not inconvenient to carry it around. Next on my list (probably a ways down the road) is to buy a RedRock DSLR rig. Those things are pretty sweet, but also kinda pricey.
Equipment:
- Canon 7D
- Canon 50mm f/1.4
- Manfrotto 501HDV video head
- Induro CT114 tripod
- BeachTek DXA-SLR
- Audio-Technica AT875R shotgun microphone
- Rode SM3 shock-mount

Can you use the 7D battery grip with this setup?
@Liana – Yes, you can. The BeachTek just goes on the bottom in the tripod socket.
Love your blog. Would be great if you could post links from the gear to say a corresponding on one BH Photo for example. Only just getting going on video with my 7D so for assessing cost it would be helpful. (I know….lazy I guess I could search. Thanks again for a terrific blog.
Any tips and/or tuturial on video stock clips in the near future?
I don’t really shoot any video stock (just stills), only have a few random clips in my portfolio.
Let me know if you know of such links.
Thanks
