Over the past week I've been really curious about videography and cinematography. The original plan was to start by shooting a few simple vids with my iphone. Things escalated quickly.

After 30+ hours of research, this is the gear I gathered over the past few days. If you have any questions, I'm happy to share links and provide more info.

Cameras: Canon 80D Canon G7x Mark ii iPhone 7 Plus w Filmic Pro

Lenses: Canon 10-55mm Lens Canon 10-18mm Lens Canon 50mm f1.8 Lens
