Looking for advice from experienced photographer

MDumas1974Canon
Apprentice

I purchased a Canon EOS R the other Day with the RF 24-105 lens, I also purchased a really nice Manfroto Tripod, some memory cards, and a DJI Ronin SC gimbal. I am really excited so my question to you guys what would be the nest thing I should be thinking about? I assume it would be to buy some filters and or a EF Mount adapter and a second lens? I am leaning more towards a Ultra wide angle lens what would you guys recommend and why?

And if you disagreee and feel I should be saving and putting my money into something else please do not hesitate to tell me I would greatly appreciate it. I just want to make sure every dollar counts, I am n to made of money and I have spent thousand of dollars to get serious about this. Thank you in advance I look forward to hearing rom you.

I am not a video photographer. I am not a mirrorless photographer. I don't read tons of manuals and reviews on the ole inner web all day. I have to work. But I am a gimbal owner and user.

To me the two activities, technologies and skillsets, while having some very limited similarity, are in most ways different.


I could tell both of you were, which is why I posted an image of what the "gimbal" looked like.


Good job.

I DO know what a gimbal is, and that it is used in video, but speaking for myself I was confused by the title of the thread that referenced experienced 'photographer' rather than 'videographer' - I think it was not unreasonable to consider that the OP's activities were not necessarily confined purely to video.

 

I was inclined to think the OP was a newbie because of the lack of detail in his post - normally novices just list equipment and ask for advice without any clue as to intent or other useful context such as I requested - and I think that would still apply to the videography genre too.  Ah well... Smiley Frustrated


cheers, TREVOR

Yeah, I was taken aback by the reactions, too.  Thanks!
