Spec me a camera stabiliser

I need to create a video for a corporate client of mine and will be shooting it with my Canon 5D3 and 35mm 1.4L lens mostly. Basically need something not too expensive that i can use to film. The lens doesn't have any image stabilisation so i need something to make the footage less shaky.

Also not sure about focusing since my 5D3 is all manual.

Thanks in advance

What kind of budget are you thinking?

Plenty out there for £££...

Up to £300 I think. Can stretch it if all others within the £300 range are *****.

Take a look at the FeiyuTech ones, seem to be getting good reviews and thinking of a GoPro one from them.

EG the Feiyu a1000 for dslrs.

Thanks. Might actually rent one for a day or two to see if it's good enough. Ronin S is double the price of the Feiyu. Crazy

The A1000 has a pay load of 1.7kg however the plate is very short so if you put a DSLR with something like the 35/1.4 mk2 on it, the centre of the gravity is too far towards the lens and the plate isn’t long enough to balance it even if the combo is under 1.7kg.

It BARELY balance my a73 with a Zeiss 35/1.4. The motor was buzzing and buzzing like it’s struggling.
