Hello there.
First post here, though I've been visiting the forum for a long, long time as a non-participating viewer.
Recently I managed to lay my hands on a sweet Helios 44M-4 and that finally made me think seriously about getting a shoulder rig.
However, looking at them I began wondering if this isn't too much for my small, mirrorless (a6300) setup. I do not use (nor do I plan to) external monitor, LED lights, anything - apart from occasionally mounted Zoom H1 / some Rode mic. My heaviest lens is 18-105, but even then the whole setup weighs just around 1kg.
I really crave for an organic, natural, handheld look many short videos / ads feature, though I realize they've been filmed with a proper cameras + cine lenses, whose weight prevent getting micro-jitter shakes, + Easy Rigs and gimbals, etc.
Is this even possible to achieve this pleasant, immersive handheld feel with such a feather-light cameras?
Do you have any recommendations / experiences you are eager to share?
Does it make sense to look for something like Tilta's shoulder rigs with counterweights, Z-brackets and top handles or just let it go and get something like Revo's rigs (image)?
Being able to have a follow-focus system would be nice, since rotating focus rings with hand will ruin everything..Thanks for reading,
Greetings.
Could use help selecting the right lens for my YouTube channel about miniature painting

You could take a look at Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Macro.
It's got some years on it, but its optical quality still shines.
50mm (even on a crop camera, which T6i is) is more versatile than 100mm
Though it's worth noting that it doesn't allow you to take 1:1 magnification.
