I don't know, steadicams are still superior to gimbals, let alone IBIS. Dolly's are superior to all of them. 

You could upres to 8k for maximum gains

You can just use filters or blur the image so it looks low res. 

The S1 gives pretty much the same image if you don't need 4k 60p in 10 bit and gives you $2000 to invest in a lens which you'll need if you want to shoot stills.

Here is one for $1699, thats $2300 more for lenses or rent ?

This project I was camera operator and gaffer. It was mostly lit with 2 Godox 60w LED's and a Pixel 220w LED's, we occasionally used a few other lights as well as natural light of course. Haven't run into any issues. Recording straight to an SSD. I don't have access to the footage but everything I've seen so far looks really nice. We have been lighting things pretty well though.

If it doesn't work you get scammed, if it does work you scammed PayPal/Amazon.

Everything looks like shit on youtube tho, 4k uploads are a lot better though, even if you watch them in 720p, they almost look better than 1080p uploads in 1080p. 

I am not a huge fan of the flares, they can be distracting especially if over done (ahem star trek). That said I love the other characteristics they can have, especially the more funky lenses. 

Doesn't give you that anamorphic look though 

Yeah that makes sense, why not have the best tool for the job. I think as an amateur he'd probably be happy with the A73 though. For something like sports I'd probably rather have something with more of a reach that S35 gives.

Very nice. I was shooting at 70mm in S35 mode and getting good results and that was without dual IS as it was an adapted lens. 

I understand the D4 against an X-T2, however the A73 is a different beast. I imagine the AF might be a bit better but besides that how do you think the D4 would come out ahead?

S1H IBIS Performance. Shot in very windy conditions, all hand-held.

My perspective as a professional sports photographer is if you are going to be shooting stills in that environment a lot then you should have a dedicated camera that is made for the job so I'd be looking at a used Nikon D4 and Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 which you should be able to pick up for around £1500-1600.
If you want to cut the budget a bit then substitue in a D3s instead of the D4 or up it to a D4s if you have a bit more budget.
I trialled shooting with the X-T2 system as an alternative/supplement to Nikon about 3 years ago and whilst it made decent images it just wasn't up to the job at the same level and the experiment didn't last long.
For video, you don't need a particularly low light monster as you won't need the same shutter speed so your 1000th/f2.8/ISO6400 even if you want to shoot 50p and have 180 degree shutter is only ISO640. Incidentally, the reported exposure from the X-T2 exposure will be innacurate as shooting one alongside a D4 in fixed lit stadiums, the X-T2 would be at ISO6400 and the D4 would be at ISO5000.
The Nikon Z6 would be the obvious choice for the video to keep in the same brand as the tests I've seen with the FTZ adapter and the 70-200mm f2.8 show it performing well.
Again, if you go for used then you should be able to pick up both cameras and the lens for around £3K.
For that you will be getting a genuine professional sports stills camera that will take the shooting conditions you describe in its stride, a very capable 4K video camera with IBIS and a ProResRAW option (any year now) and a fast, stabilised high quality optic.
 

The Z6 probably beats the A73 for video low light as it has less heavy noise reduction, aka no ghosting at higher ISOs. 

We were using super takumar 28, 35, 55, and 135, I personally get all my work from networking

I was pretty happy with the performance I was seeing out of them. I wasn't really aware of their existence previously. We didn't use pro mist filters. 

Love the super taks, my second favorite lenses after the Leica-r. Were you using pro-mist filters too?

Cool! Out of curiosity, how did you guys get those jobs when you first started?
Nice small set up. It looks tiny on that tripod. And the SmallHD monitor looks tiny on the camera. What lens(es) were you using?

The A9 has better auto focus, but no log profiles. Not having log is really not a big deal. 

However I'd save money and get an A73, maybe even a used one. Put more money towards fast glass.
