Filming Gear for DSLR

[fiveub]

I am looking to make some shorts using a 600D, however I am looking for either a decent tripod, which can be kept straight, but also has features like panning, tilting, and also slight movement to the left or right (forgot the correct term for it), or maybe a hand held frame to steady it on shoulders/body (I don't want to spend too much, little as possible really).

Also, what lighting is there that is portable which could be useful? Any other things I may have forgotten about? - The short film is basically something I will be doing as a hobby to create my own short magic films, so just looking at gear which may fit well with the Canon 600D and any other accessories too.

This site makes their own, my Brother has their frame, far cheaper than other makes, and good quality

Looks good, I shall take a look!

You will want a monopod more than a tripod to allow some pesudo steady cam shots.

You will also need a LOT of cards, 8G will last about 15mins.

The monopod looks like a great idea, I currently have a couple of 16GB Class 10, should be enough for now to test and play with.

Are there any lenses that maybe worth looking into, to give a more cinematic feel to the film? Or is this best to do in editing software afterwards?
