33. Tom's Shoe Event & Hoodman 5D Mark II Hand Held Test
7 months ago
I am getting ready to shoot a feature film (a western) on Canon's 5D Mark II and am in the process of testing different equipment for it. As I shot this video I was looking for a steadier Hand Held look. If I were to just hold it, it is just too bouncy and jello-ee. I wish the Hoodman would give me a more closer view of the screen. The screen still feels far away but I do have a better handle on focusing. I think the hoodman gives a steadier handheld look which the camera sensor likes. The sensor is a rolling shutter type which, if not handled well, will give the user a jello effect. Some SLR video cameras are worse than others. The Canon 5D is at least fairly usable enough to be highly considered for this western.

My advise, use a IS lens, thats will realy help you out with the yello thing, also, i use a dv tec rig, so there is no fast movent, 2 handlebars and a sholder step.
No handheld shooting, always use a rig, than you will have a fine working camera, with minimal jello effect.
Good luck!

I've been using the Hoodman with my 5D2 and a monopod which helps. Not perfect but pretty steady,
