I really think filming is cool
I wanna start filming edits and sheit but that stuffs expensive. I'd be committed to it but its soooo expensive idk if its for me. If it is what should I start filming on and what is most reasonable to buy
Vx1000 and a mk1 fisheye if youre cool, if youre lame and are filming dudes on volkls doing dubs and kfeds get like a gh4 or 5

lmao probably not gonna be filming boners so i'll stick w the first one thanks homie
if you're planning on doing a lot of follow cams, a classic setup is canon t4i/t5i/t6i and a decent glidecam of some sort. My t4i ended up costing over $1000 CAD with the lens, so u would have to spend some money, but honestly one of the best entry level DSLRs around. I've had mine for over 6 years now, would highly recommend.
I recently bought a sony hdr cx405 camcorder for like $200, and honestly it's such a good camera if you're strapped for cash. Films in HD, ridiculous zoom, and super easy to use which makes it great for when ur passing the camera around with the boys.

The Canon GL1 is a really nice alternative to a VX
iPhones are the way to go my man. Film all day, dump it on a computer, delete vids off your phone to free space, repeat. Plus all you have to do when you just wanna ski is throw it in your pocket. Much more convenient than an actual camera but obviously not as good (not much of a zoom, etc). Today’s iPhones have just as good quality, if not then better, than even the high end cameras. iPhone 8 and higher does 4K 60, and you can crop in on it in post a TON and it still looks super clean. Can’t think of a camera that you could actually not spend your life savings on (not really but you know what I mean) that has 4K 60.

GH3's are like $400 now, 1080p60 really nice camera, grab the $200 fisheye and you're set.
go pro attached to a modified ski pole
If you’re gonna get a fisheye lens, use ur phone for jumps
If you're just starting out, any camera that takes video will work. Practice filming with something available or cheap, so you get an idea for how to set up shots; framing, movement etc, and how to edit clips. Start a savings account for camera gear, and put a portion of all your income into it. When you are comfortable with those basics and decide you want to do more, it's time to invest in better equipment and learn the controls of a better camera/lenses. Hopefully you will have enough saved by this time to buy good filming gear. Buy used gear too. The world is awash in used camera equipment.
Just film with your eyes and play it back in your head.
Tuns of good threads in Media and Arts, go check that out and will answer all your questions!
But you should ask yourself how badly you want to film? Cuz it is a huge investment for nice gear, but hell most popular insta videos are shot on an iPhone

What's most ideal for entry level?

Ive seen youre insta i know your litltle bro, Tom. I don't wanna be super deep into filming I just wanna make quality edits to put out

Like eheath said, a gh3 with a fish eye would be fine for filming skiing
Anything with1080p 60fps would be good
Maybe even get a tripod if you really want to get nice shots?
Gotta define what a quality edit it. A tripod is a great tool. Maybe like a wide lens for goofing around, then a zoom / kit lens for shooting other stuff and you'd be set
just get/use anything to start, if it has a decent zoom lens and the form factor of an actual camera, all the better. you don't need to start with something amazing, hell it's trendy now to film on old cameras and iphones.
if you might be getting seriously into filming, you can start with an older dv camera to learn the basics and get going, and then if it's budding into something long term, you can take what youve learned and go back to the drawing board to get advice on investing more money into a camera that suits you really well
TL;DR: use whatever for now and learn the basics, and then consider dropping more cash if it's becoming a serious hobby of yours

I want to see a POV backcountry ski edit that becomes an outdoor POV porno... someone pls make this happen.. jesper...
If you have a new-ish phone with a good camera you can buy a gimbal such as a DJI Osmo for like $150 bucks, it makes followcam videos look somewhat professional even if your camera isn't pro quality. Something to think about.

Ive seen that around and it looks dope i am considering that or a camcorder
noah_jaff3Ive seen that around and it looks dope i am considering that or a camcorder
I have a short video in my profile using my phone (an LG G6) and a DJI Osmo gimbal. Even though I was wearing mittens, didn't know the guy I was filming, and hadn't used it before, it didn't look terrible. The filming was bad but the quality was good.

i think that's a pretty good idea for this situation. one thing to remember though is you'll want lots of storage and depending on what phone you have, having (or adding) enough storage might be a major problem
also if OP wants to learn filming to any real degree he'll want a camera that at least zooms and shit to get started
noah_jaff3What's most ideal for entry level?
Use whatever you have available, your phone, an old point and shoot around your house, your friend's old gopro that they never use... My buddy films with his sister's old point and shoot that she didn't want anymore. He's been using it for years. The colours aren't super dialed but it gets the job done.
Also practice filming all year, like in the summer film skating or whatever you do, scenic footy like water or trees moving, etc. Then you'll have some practice leading into the winter, and an idea of what kind of movements you like or what kind of b-roll makes sense.
