| Most of the ultralight 35mm cams are custom builds. The lightest is Garret Browns, for the Superfly cable cam system. An a-minima will suffice, but you're looking at 6 pounds of kit at around $10k.
Steadicams haul everything from Arri 535, 435 & 235's, to Moviecam's, and are not restricted to the 5-8lb limits of aerial platforms, and can often exceed 80lbs for a full camera package on a Gold series or Alien Arm sled.
Flying-cam uses a custom rig, a modified eymo-based kit, carrying 200ft rolls and Leica primes, and they're using a gas rig swinging 875mm blades......
Don't fret; only motion picture or premium commercial production would require 35mm footage; any reasonable client will be content with broadcast hd footage.
If you are serious about shooting film, drop me a pm and I'll give you a contact who can lease you a lightweight, flyable system.
Cheers,
Patrick
The last thing I heard my ex say: " It's either me or that damn Helicopter"...... |
but the Eyemo was made in the 30's and are hard to find.
