Same goes for a lot of other professional cameras I've used (the entire RED family, most of the Sony family, a few others), and most of those are lighter still than something like an Alexa. For instance, a RED is only a five pound body, but fully built the camera can easily exceed 20 lbs. I'm seeing so many rigs that have a limit of 15 lbs or under, which doesn't seem like enough to fly most fully built cameras. Just in the interest of gathering as much info as I can on the subject, what do you recommend as far as payload limits? The MVI Pro motorized gimbal stabilizer steadies cameras weighing up to 15 pounds, rendering it compatible with mirrorless cameras all the way up to smaller cinema cameras. It will still be a while before I'm ready to buy any kind of rig, and I definitely won't be buying anything without giving myself plenty of time to use it and decide if it's the right move. Consisting of the MVI Pro motorized gimbal stabilizer, MVI Ring Pro handle, and the MIMIC controller, this kit can perform in either single or dual-operator configurations. Hey everyone, I really appreciate all the advice. So: if you just want a toy to play around with, get a Movi. Steadicam operators are more likely to get jobs as operators on features and TV series as they like to have a Steadicam around "just in case." That means a Steadicam operator may be operating a camera normally, or always operating a Steadicam, or a mix of both. That's not the case with a Movi anyone can learn that. but then you have a niche that people need, and when they need a Steadicam operator you're the one they'll call.

It usually takes a year of practice and working on projects for free before a typical Steadicam operator can accept paid work and pull it off. Getting a Steadicam means you become a Steadicam operator. Or maybe you find one shot in a project that can't be done on a dolly and you can't afford a Steadicam and operator, so a Movi is a decent workaround. A Movi is something you bring along to a shoot and hey, maybe it's useful. Remember that being a Steadicam operator is a career.
