Great contest, good idea with the Facebook image tagging 😉
Congrats with your 5000 followers ! Now two long weeks of hoping to win something (I never do).
Why do I want to win this gear? Well, I`ve learned so much at the first Great HDSLR Workshop by Sebastian (which was a great experience) that I really want to expand my knowledge about how to work with these great tools. As a student I really can`t afford this gear at the moment 😉 So I hope I will win – maybe a rig and a viewfinder? ^^
Well you’ve definitely boomed the last couple of months. This great competition as another example of that. Great stuff all-round !
The best of luck to you !! ( and hopefully some luck gets send my way, in winning some great prizes )
Damn, this Letus Viewfinder looks sexy! Good luck with your contest, workshops and all that stuff. I´m excited to see the Blog of someone “local” go big 😉
Would love to be entered to win some of this awesome gear! I just got my T2i about a month ago and I’m completely loving it. Unfortunately, can’t afford a shoulder rig though 😛 Keep up the great work Sebastian!
What a great contest, I would love to get any one of those prizes because I’m a poor post-graduate that can’t currently afford to expand upon my gear. But it’s awesome that you’re able to get such great items to give away for others that are probably in the same situation.
I’m a young filmmaker with huge ideas and passion but no money or equiptment. I recently bought a 5DMKII and I really need some exta equiptment for my DSLR so that I can achieve it’s full potential and give my projects that profesional look that it needs. It would be simply amazing to win the shoulder rig or any other product that would help me make the films that i’ve been waiting so long to make! Thanks
Awesome that you’re doing this. Congratulations on 5000.
This is a great contest! I just purchased a 7D a couple months ago. I really could use a really nice shoulder mount rig with a follow focus.

Not many people do this!
You are amazing!
Good Job!
😀
woww.. great… this is my chance^^
What a fantastic competition with great prizes! I could really use that viewfinder, I am a nomadic landscape photographer, the road is my home and capturing images on a Canon 5D Mk II I really want to get into video as well!
Great idea Sebastian! Congrats on the 5,000 early. I’d love to win some gear just because it would save me some money. I’m a photog converting to HDSLR video so any help I can get is great.
Congrats on your 5000 followers !
A chance to win great prizes, a chance to help to switch to DSLR video, thanks you for organizing this contest !
Wow, there’s a lot of great stuff here. Hopefully I win one these!
Wow, some amazing gear here, if I was lucky enough to win something, my 2 day old 7D would weep with joy. Having used DSLR’s to shoot for a while I have only just invested in my own, one of these prizes would make me the happiest little film maker in the whole of Europe.
Awesome Contest! Awesome Prizes! Thanks for putting this together and Grats on 5000 followers!!!!!!
Awesome prizes! I would love to get one to expand my filmmaking capabilities on my T2i.
Hey,
well, I could use this gear in perfect combination with my DSLR. So I hope I will win something 😉 !!!
See you in Stuttgart.
Daniel
Very exciting about this giveaway! And nice typography in your design! 🙂
I would really love to win the Jag35 rig – it’d be very useful for stabilizing my 5DmkII.
hey sebastian
this is great … you know as good as i know if you hot into this HDSLR thing you can’t get enough on you gear list … so even as i have my 550D since march my “have to have list” is growing & growing 😉
so every HDSLR user will probably find a way to utilize this stuff you got to give away 🙂
grüße
Micha
The gear showcased on your page helps filmmakers like myself take production quality to the next level. With 24 hours of video uploaded to youtube per minute, anything you can do to help your film stand out is a necessity. Of course, production value alone can’t save your film. Storytelling is and always will be key. But great gear always helps.
Thanks for putting on this contest. Even if I don’t win anything, I’m glad you’re taking the initiative to inspire hope and excitement into filmmakers in these uncertain digital times.
nice contest. why do I need some of this gear? did you watch my videos? they clearly need stabilization! 🙂
I am trying to film a Documentary on Bipolar and Anxiety, need some of this gear to make my life filming with My 7D easier 🙂
*Crosses fingers and hopes*
Here’s to a good competition! 🙂
Sebastian, what a generous offer of prizes! I’m sure there will be a lot of happy folks. Congrats on approaching 5,000 followers – that’s quite an accomplishment!
So why do I need any of this gear? Gear itself does not make art – but it sure does make it fun 🙂
All the best on it. Love the blog.
Cool competition. Could really do with a Zacuto Z finder or similar – so I hope I get lucky. Hope I have better luck than I did in Phillip Bloom’s draw!
stunning idea, great prices and cool guy 🙂
cu soon
ingoman
sehr coole idee, wo hast du nur die ganzen sachen her?
More documentaries beyond our recent http://www.happinessisthemovie.com forthcoming. HDSLR is the way to go!
Really cool idea! Giveaways like this really help those that cannot afford pro gear. Thanks Sebastian!
Congrats on getting to 5000. The prizes would contribute nicely to the quality of my shooting.
Great contest, thanks for going through all this trouble for us! 😀
These are some fantastic prizes Sebastian! Those viewfinders sure look useful.
Wow, 5000 Followers really is a milestone. Good Luck to everyone entering.
Cool Stuff. Cool Competition. Like it.
Ooo, that’s a lt of awesome prizes. It would be great to win something.
Hi Sebastian!
Klasse Sachen die man bei dir hier gewinnen kann. Als wir letztens bei dir waren und du uns was über dein Spiegelreflex filmen erklärt hast, haben wir richtig Lust bekommen und haben uns 2 550Ds zugelegt.
Heute haben wir zum ersten mal ernsthaft damit einen Film über Downhill-Biker gedreht, sind echt klasse Aufnahmen dabei.
Bei Interesse hier ein paar Bilder vom Set:
http://twitpic.com/25ed5u unsere selbstgebaute Dolly aus Aluminiumprofilen und Skateboard Rollen
http://twitpic.com/25f2o8 ich und einer der anderen 2 Kameramänner
http://twitpic.com/25f51l die nachfolgenden Fahrräder aus dem Bus raus Filmen
http://twitpic.com/25fil1 unser mobiles “Schnittstudio” das zum übertragen und checken der Aufnahmen war
http://twitpic.com/25hg2u einer der Anspruchsvollsten Drehorte
ich hoffe ich konnte dir/euch einen Einblick in unsere heutigen Arbeiten geben.
Grüße, Michael!
Thanks, Awesome Competition!
Really Appreciate your Work!
This could really help me with my Focus probs… 😉
Greetz
This is some great gear. I’d love to win one of these prizes because I just got a 7D and don’t have the money to spend while paying for college.
Outstanding contest. Thanks go to you and your amazing list of sponsors!
I’d love to win because I’m starting my own production company and don’t have much (any) money to buy gear but most of all the Jag35, the Hangrip Nighthawk and especially the Easom Optics setup are making me hard.
Roger
Why should I win this contest..? So I’ll be able to make more fashion films like this one without having to beg and borrow gear 😉 http://vimeo.com/12291524
I want to win one of these amazing prizes because (A) I am fairly new in the DSLR video world. (2) I cannot afford any accessories for my 7D as I am broke. Finally (D) I have the passion and potential to make great DSLR films. THANX. Good luck to all, but mostly good luck to me. 😉
Hi Sebastian,
The only thing missing from my [base] kit is a viewfinder! It would be great to replace anything else though as its all low qaulity gear and I am suffering for it. It’s Been great following you. keep it going.
Hello
I broke my HDSLR virginity about 2 months ago with a Canon 7d and since then my work has excelled beyond my expectations. It has given me the oppurtunity finally be able to shoot whenever i want and to be able to freelance properl and my god what a camera.
I find myself constantly looking at new equipment to aid me in my HDSLR film making but am finding it so hard to fund these purchases. This comp would only increase my performance as a camera man, and who wouldn’t want to get better 🙂
We’d love to win this for our project to train young Romani (Gypsy) filmmakers to be a voice for themselves through film!
Just starting out working with HDSLRS. Free gear would be a big help achieving better shots and help me evolve. Maybe even get employed within the bizz.
Great competition.
sweet contests, hope my name finds its way into the prize selector. congrats on 5,000 followers
Great prizes here!
The coming of the Canon HDSLR cameras really feels like a revolution! And it´s great to be a part of it, shooting documentaries with my 7D. If I won a shoulder rig here, I would feel unstoppable 🙂
Kool idea, Sebastian! Enjoyed reading about your wk with Philip on “Red Tails!”
Keep it going, man!
‘J-dog
I could use any of these prices! Finger crossed…
I could really use the help right now. I am trying to start my own production company and I need all the equipment I can get right now!
I’m a still guy converting to motion. Oh yeah!
Congrats!
As a Beginner in Filmmaking it would be great to expand my equipment with one of these great tools. Ive read a lot about the dslr shoulder rigs and view finders, but as a student i dont have the money to buy one.
Congratulations to 5000 followers!
Greetings from Wuerzburg!
Like others who have commented, any of this equipment would be extremely useful to a student filmmaker looking to build a kit bag with zero budget.
Congrats on the 5,000 mark!
All this gear is awesome!
These are really good prices! Wish I could receive one of them to make my set complete 🙂
Keep the good work on!
Greets from Bamberg 😉
Great contest Sebastian! I hope I’ll win 😉
my footage is really shaky.
I love these. any one will do. they’ll greatly improve my productivity.
hope i win! 🙂
Nice gear.
Excellent prizes!
Great contest! Good luck to everyone!
Great contest, Sebastian! These prizes will greatly benefit the winners!
Just got myself an LCD vf but a portable slider or jib would be perfect for the shoots in late August!
Great Contest! I want one of those 🙂 Im a low budget filmmaker and this gear would help me so much to improve the quality of my videos!
Thanks for the initiative Sebastian
JAK
making my leap into the business! hopefully i’ll win and save some money for lenses!!
thanks!
I’m keeping the dream alive.
I never studied filmmaking but I’ve always had the passion.
Last October I saved up for my very first DSLR (the 7D) and started a hosted WordPress website as well as Twitter, another first for me.
I never would have imagined that in less than a year I’d meet Philip Bloom, Vincent Laforet, Shane Hurlbut, and Dan Chung among others. Hopefully someday I’ll get the pleasure of meeting you Sebastian. I do want to visit Germany. I’m part German myself.
My finances may not cooperate with me, but I’m in this life to create artful stories. I will be a movie director no matter what anyone says. I have the passion, win or lose.
If I win a prize from the above sponsors, all of which are entrepreneurial pioneers, the road would be a much smoother one. Gone are the days when a talented young Robert Rodriguez could get dozens of studio contract offers. There’s so many talented filmmakers with access to the right tools in today’s world.
You just need the drive to keep the dream alive…
…and I want those prizes!
These contests give students like myself a glimpse of hope ahah. Would be a great boost in growing my business. Good idea and good luck everyone!
Hey Sebastian, any of these prizes would be amazing for a student like me but if I had to choose… it would be either of the shoulder mounts.
Good luck to everyone that enters!
Schon lange liebäugle ich mit dem Kauf eines Viewfinders für meine Canon 7D – nur der Preis schreckte mich noch ab. Vielleicht gewinne ich ja auf diesem Wege ?
Edeltraud
I’ve been following you on twitter for some time now.
I think what you are doing is great, good luck!
Plus as a frustrated filmmaker, I could really do with the help and equipment ; ))
Wow, you already made it to 5000 followers?
Congratulations!
Teach me, oh wise twitter master… ; )
@tightshortfilms
I always say that you must replace missing equipment by creativity, but this works only in a certain context. Your competition is a great chance for talented people to expand their opportunities.
Thanks for that and good shooting for your following projects.
I need this stuff quick – before this whole DSLR-filming thingy becomes obsolet (which probably is about 18 month out).
we´re shooting on both, a 7D and a 5D markII even our latest TVCs were shot on them, really love the way to shoot, would be soo cool to earn one of this prizes 🙂
really like your shorts aswell !
First I would like to thank you for putting together is amazing give-away. As a filmstudent who just started a production company. As you know it’s a hard world and any of these pieces of gear would give me an edge
over the competition and hopefully help me land a few more jobs!
this is an amazing opportunity. I have been slowly starting my gear purchases, but the price to play is obviously a steep one, so this would help out soo much. I have the stories, the talent, just not the gear…..yet…who ever wins, I hope it helps them in their path.
These are great prizes! I would love to test out that Letus ViewFinder
what ever is free i like it 🙂
I would use this equipment to help build equity in helping teach inner city kids the art of filmmaking through an local organization, Creative Visions, here in Des Moines, IA.
free stuff yes thanks
As a student, who has a passion to work with dslr’s, it’s a great pleasure to visit your blog. I would be extremely lucky to win any of this equipment, which otherwise I would not be able to afford. This equipment would hopefully allow me to work a little easier with my camera.
Thankyou,
I look forward to seeing more of your work!
Moving towards video from still photography , realising how much additional gear is required to do it properly, any of the prizes here would help!
Herzlichen Glückwunsch! For the 5000 followers.
I would love to have Zacuto or Redrock Micro rig. But Jag35 DSLR Field Runner Shoulder Rigs (with Letus Direct Hawk VF DSLR Viewfinder of course) would do just fine for my Canon EOS 5D Mark II.
This could improve stability and reduce lethargy (both on arms and eyes).
With follow focus, the shooting with primes lens would be perfect to achieve DOF.
Thank you for your commitment in HDSLR community. Cheers!
I would like to win the gear because my friend thinks that I am lucky and will give the gear to him. He told me about this contest. I’d definitely give him the gear because all I want is a camera bag along the likes of Lowepro. 😀
Firstly, Thanks for the information and inspiration you have provided past and present. Im not surprised you have achieved 5000 followers! high five!
My pockets are burnt through broke after recently purchasing a 7D but it was so worth it as im having a great time shooting my first ever short film(no budget). With no cash to spare this Rookie would be the happiest man to walk away with any of these fantastic prizes, as they would all benefit my future productions.
Thanks again for educating and giving back to the community!
Beautiful gear you guys are handing out there! Would love any of this for some more film festivals comin up! 🙂 I’m a broke film school grad haha
Great idea for the contests! It is great to see how popular your work is getting, keep it up man!
Thanks for providing this opportunity for all this great gear to get into the hands of the people on the edge of this HDSLR revolution. You rock.
~David
Winning this competition would be a great help for me, as I’m a 16 year old amateur filmmaker. It’d help get out there in the industry, and if I do, I’ll of course put a big thankyou to you in the credits (if you want 🙂 ).
Thanks 🙂
All this gear is awesome! good plan to increase the audience for the website 😀
Great contest, great gear…
I am a young filmmaker an winning some of these equipment would help me a lot on my career and give me a good start to keep making great videos.
I wish everyone luck and hopefully the winners can put these equipment in good use!
Fernando Barriento s
Wow, awesome contest!
I’ve been wanting to jump into the HDSLR thing for a while now, I’ve especially been wanting to make a documentary about my old grandmother who I think is quite a peculiar/special person compared to our generation (lived in Vietnam during the war/was extremely poor). Now we live in wonderful Sweden with big cultural differences.
Having access to any of the gear from this contest would be a great help in realising my vision! I’m probably going to get myself a HDSL after Nikon and Canon announce their new cameras soon.
man, the glidetrack shooter would be the solution for my new photo/video contest…
Although DIY projects are fun genuine products are always welcome for any of us. Thank you for the great effort.
I want to win so I can give it away on my site. Ha!
Looks good to me!
got to love planet5D…the best news out there for all us HDSLR people….and thanks for this great prize give a way…..
Thank you for doing this Sebastian! I think it is great to put work and effort into something like this for others! Great idea and keep the beautiful videos coming.
This is a great idea. Good luck to all!
Great blog (followed by RSS) !
Thanks for the contest!
Loving this contest… Thanks for your hard-work and generosity to make it happen.
This stuff gets me goosey.
It’s amazing that all these great companys donated prizes!! Will totally be visiting often 🙂
Thanks for the contest.
I’d love to step up the quality of my Arizona travel dvd’s.
Hey Awesome contest and blog man!
Read this post via RSS! Great opportunity for us enthusiasts who don’t have enough money to buy all the gear we want. A little chance to obtain something that would help us much in making movies!
Thanks!
Nick
Great contest – thanks!
What a fantastic way to celebrate! Can’t wait to see what the winners will be making with the prises! Heh, maybe I’ll be one of them!
Awesome web contest and amazing prices !!!
A viewfinder would be a great thing to have – sunlight is good in front of the camera, but not behind it…
That’s a great opportunity to own very useful gears for our HDSLRs ! I aim to make some kind of art in video, and I think art also needs technique. But techniques often requires money… a lot of money !! So that’s why this conquest is a great idea.
Thank you for this chance ! Very very nice idea !
Seb
[…] Sebastian Wiegärtner is giving away a bunch of gear on his site. He is giving away gear from Genus, Jag35, Letus and a Nighthawk Shoulder Rig. There is too much stuff to list. Check out his take on all of the stuff here. […]
Would love the glidetrack, great competition!
Well, this is a great giveaway! Just sold my Sony Alpha and handicam to get into the exciting world of HDSLR!
Good job!
Great contest!
This is awesome. A very generous offer from a fellow DSLR user. Tanks,
-d
This looks like some amazing gear. I’m a poor editor who just needs a helping hand that’s why.
Thanks
Thanks so much for this!! I need video equipment for my 5D so bad!!
I want to win so I can get all the gear I need to shoot documentaries for charities in asia
Thank you for the opportunity to win some great gear. This is a great opportunity for heavily budgeted students (and professionals) to get some great gear.
This is one of the best contest Ive seen online! thanks for doing this!
Great contest, thanks for the opportunity to win!
it would be great to have a viewfinder to keep out the glare, and I think the shoulder support would be better than picking up a tripod and trying to balance.. not that I do that… often..
Thanks for supporting the HDSLR community!
Great stuff here! Thanks for making this contest possible.
Great contest.
Can I win these daddy???
I want to win because I don’t have the money to simply buy that stuff
Awesome contest. Good luck to all!
Woo! I love new equip-toys! Thanks for giving away free stuff!
This is great! This gear will really help with my indie productions!
Great idea. Love the prizes.
Hey Sebastian,
I want to win this because I want to become a professional videographer as I just hate my job. And I don’t have the money to buy all the equipment myself, as I have 2 baby’s and don’t want my baby’s to have anything short because they are my life. So the last money I saved up I got myself a 550D and I am learning much online. I am also building a shoulder rig, and going to build a slider. So I want to put up a reel, so I can show people what I am capable off, so I can get future clients. So I can quit my job whenever I get enough clients and do something I love instead.
Cheers
I want to win the stuff, because i as a pupil can´t really afford any of it- but i like what you do and i want to take great films, too.
Wow , Good luck to me 🙂
Thanks for the awesome opportunity dude! This is incredible!
Incredible prizes! Especially winning a full rig/viewfinder would be a dream come true! My monopod has it’s limits 😉
Good luck, all!
I’d love to win gear so that through cinema I may change the world!
Student Filmmaker Needs Fancy Gear To Make Fancy Films.
I want to win so i can make better motion pictures…
Another great 5D contest. I want to win, who doesn’t?
Awesome prizes! I would like to win, because my budget and current gear doesn’t match my aspirations, and any one of these prizes would be a great addition to my equipment, which I use for shooting independent documentaries.
Thank you Sebastian, for you have inspired me to get a twitter account: ekrphoto. As I will be working on an self-financed short film on the relationship between Georgia O’Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz, shot on my 5D Mark II, there is a lot of gear here I could really use to elevate the quality of the film. I’ll keep my fingers crossed and keep plugging away.
Great Site!
Great contest! I need this stuff to make Citizen Kane 2! Don’t let Orson Welles Jr. down!
Saved for camera and lenses, finally i got them. Now only LCD Viewfinder left 😉
Thanks
I want to win because I just graduated with my degree in film/video and I don’t have money to buy the gear that I need to make the films that I want to make!
nice! 🙂
I can just envision myself, climbing out AJAX mountain with all that gear. It’d be hard, but totally worth it. Hope I win.
Nothing would be nicer than to add one of these toys to my growing bag of tricks! Now if only I can find a way to speed up the growth of that bag…
Great Marketing Idea! Your Facebook Pictures are overfilled already!
Awesome contest! Thanks for letting us enter. My short story, I spent all my money on getting the camera and now I don’t have enough left for HDSLR gear. I do music videos and am left with all tripod shoots. So the shoulder rig would be awesome! and those viewfinders are pretty sweet too! Thanks for the chance!
help me, stuck in corporate america with a, dun dun dun, REAL JOB. sold my jvc gy-hd110 to get a 7d so I could get more use out of the camera. Now i can’t stop shooting, I shoot everything in sight and I love it, would love to do this full time if I could only afford the gear. I’ve got two kids and would love to feed them with my art and show them that they can do what they love to do. Please help me feed my kids with art and the american dream. save me from slavery. I’m not made for this, i have to break free.
Great idea. Free stuff always draws attention.
I am a starving student and I do not have enough money to buy accessories for my mkII.
Thank you very much,this is great stuff…
Great stuff!
Nice Stuff!!!
thank you very much for the competition here in South America is somewhat difficult to get decent things
muchas gracias por la competencia aquí en sudamerica es algo dificil conseguir cosas decentes
Hi Sebastian,
Great blog! Always informative, showcasing quality products that are fresh and innovative. Hope I’ve got a chance for some of these great products!
Great contest! Thanks for doing this
Great contest! Good luck to all!
Nice :), hope to win some stuff for my new movie.
Cheers
With a goal of documentary film making, starting from the bottom of the rung, it’s hard to convince project prospects that you know what you are doing and you can achieve good results with only having SOME of the workable “pieces”. And not the pretty and well made pieces at that. This would make production easier and professionalize my work. Either way, hope the blog stays strong! Happy 5k!
Awesome always looking for more gear on a student budget !
I need to win some gear to help develop my video skills and look at new prospects for HDSLR cameras!
great stuff. can’t wait to see how this comes out!
This is awesome! I’d love to win some gear to help me on a project currently in development.
Yellow! I should win something to fullfill my dream of becoming a movie maker. Corny right? BUT, true!
I want to win some goodies because my 7D is so naked with out them! Daddy needs to buy his baby some clothes (and other toys).
I wanna play with all that gear!! munch munch much!!
This is fantastic! Congatulations on 5,000 followers dude… that is EPIC! I might want to do that for my site too… thanks for the great idea! Best of luck to you, and I think I am going to a feature post on this one my site too… check back!
Whoo! congrats on the 5000 and would love a chance to win! 🙂
Great source of info and opportunities.
Thanks for posting.
Jan
Well thanks Sebastian for a great site and nice info, especielly your twitter feed! I just started a crossbreed media company with my brother. We are aiming at creating websites with a complementary video/still photography option. I have been filming with Hdslr’s for almost a year now and Iam totally hooked! Winning any of this gear would really help me in the practical filming part! Iam also running a small hdslr blog about my projects: http://www.daniel-gustafsson.se !
Peace out!
Daniel
Congrats on the 5000 followers and AWESOME contest!
If I could have equipment like that, it’d definitely make filming a lot easier. Good luck to whoever wins!
ich will gewinnen weil ich mir gerade 180 kommentare durchgelesen hab um zu erfahren was die anderen für Gründe haben. auserdem, bis auf die Edeltraud und den Michael bin ich der einzige der dir bis jetz auf deutsch geschrieben hat. 🙂 geile sache!
None of us would be here if we didn’t all need this stuff. Good luck to everyone (and myself)!
Pick me, pick me!
Thanks for this competition and I congratulate you for your followers and videos.
Awesome giveaways! I could use any to all of these as I’m a recent Film Production graduate looking to get some work. Thanks!
Going away to film school in about a month and would cherish at least a single one of those pieces of marvelous gear to update my growing supply of DIY alternatives.
THANKS!
Great Idea! I really could use some more accessories for my DSLR.
Greetings from Bamberg
Lukas
Just got myself a 7D! Cheap lens and no goodies added to my collection yet. (college student) Hopefully one day I can get my rid all dialed! Great website and love all the help and how awesome the HDSLR community is!
Great god I pray to win -anything
-T
Great idea and good luck for the 5000th follower! Getting grips with HDSLR video so having extra gear will give a boost!
Thanks!
Stephane
Like Roy Neary, the weirdly possessed character in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, who stacked spoonfuls of mashed potato into a mound at a family dinner without knowing the significance of the act, I find myself building a vast pyramid of VDSLR toys in the hope of creating a glimmer of that elusive Spielberg magic (and the equally elusive film look), without knowing exactly where I’m heading. So, to make it to the Third Act of My Little Encounter with the Film Industry, I think I need just one more spoonful of electronic gadgetry to make it all work.
Letus Hawk VF sound amazing this thing is heating up!
Cool contest and the best thing: I saw some grip i didn’t know till now.
Yay! I might win!
very nice
Hello, I would be happy if i had one of this stuff 🙂
I`m from Ukraine, and I even can not dream to by this gear. Even if i had enough money, I will not be able to find that equipment in my country. it is a strong obstacle in embodiment of my ideas
Great Contest, definately want to enter as a entry level shooter!!! would be a good thing for helping me start up
Student hoping for better gear to help improve my craft!
This is a great idea…It would really help me start making my own short films and get a little more into photography
I would love some of this stuff! I just got my first HDSLR and am shooting a music video for my friends band, it would help to be able to see my screen in the day.
Looks like you have some great prizes, I’d be happy with any of it. Or all of it!
Congrats on 5000 followers. Great list of prizes too. The Jag35 shoulder rig looks juicy.
would love a viewfinder to “get my view on”!
Im a little late to the DSLR revolution… Im loving it so far and and bit of gear would be awesome… Because hey.. You cant have too much gear.
Wow, what a great contest! I am using DSLRs on a PBS doc. Good work all!
Mike
I’m trying to make some money this school year by videoing weddings and all of this would help greatly!
Great contest, great prizes, thanks!
Contests like this will spur the HDSLR popularity and hopefully bring a new period of independent and no-budget cinema. Thanks
First of all i would like to say that i love your films,
It would be great if i could win a sd shooter or a cave.
Had my eye on that Jag 35 shoulder rig for a few weeks now. Even the orange color is growing on me. Great contest, thanks.
Happy 5000th!
Fabulous site,and what a contest! not to mention: 5,000 followers!
……………………. amazing. I need this! Thank you……..
I will love to shoot a Indie Film on a Jag35 rig. I´m sure it will be a great experience!
Needs gears is not being a geek
SYL35 loves JAG35 😉
Thanks giving 🙂
There’s nothing as lovely as the sweet scent of new, fresh and beautiful equipment! Gimme them!
The Glide track looks really cool.
Does it work for hand held cameras as well like a Cannon HD?
Very nice!
Why do I want to win this you ask? Well here’s a few
1) I’m poor
2) I’ve got scripts to shoot and I’d appreciate it if they didn’t look like they were shot by a second rate Paul Greengrass.
3) I’m poor AND a student.
4) They look cool and everyone knows cool gear=female attention
5) I’m a dork
6) I’m a nerd AND a Dork
7) My mother said no
8) I’m poor…
Superb Prizes, I could really use some of this gear to Spice Up my HDSLR Rig – Film maker on a Budget!
I desperately need some of this gear. This would make shooting so much easier and fun!
I’m a poor aspiring film student who after purchasing a 7D can’t afford anything else!
hey men, incredible contest!!!
I’m really hopping I get to win some of the great gear!!!
I’m a filmaker new to the HDSLR world and I’m loving it all the way!!!
I want to win something!!!
Saludos!!
Love to shoot with my DSLR and having these additional tools would make it even better. I have the Glide Track and love it.
Pick Me! I want it all but just a little will do.
That Kessler Crane slider looks awesome!
I Would Absolutely LOVE to win any of these Prizes…I NEVER Win Any Contests but it’s worth a shot…Thanks For The Opportunity!!!
Really excited about the new Letus HDSLR gear offerings. from the literature it seems they have some of the most well conceived solutions on the market now. I would love to get a chance to work with the viewfinder first hand and see if the real thing lives up to expectations.
Thanks!
JOnesing for that Jag35 rig! Just got my T2i, spending mad hours and money gearing up, need help!!
You should say “Hope you are the luck winner” instead of “Hope you are the lucky guy”. Women make movies, too.
The fieldrunner looks like a very nice rig. Light and portable, but nice with industry standard rods. I like the look of the Letus VF too. The carbon fiber is a great look. Nice and light and strong. ‘wonder how nice the eyepiece feels…
any of these prizes would be absolutely GREAT
Just got a 5D and im super thrilled about the video capabilities. These items would get me off to a great start
Yay! I’m working on a short documentary with my Canon T2i and would love to win something.
I am about to order my first DSLR that shoots HD video and plan on going to film school next semester.
This sounds like a good opportunity to get some hands on experience with some equipment.

Free stuff is always welcome in mi casa!
Great Contest!
Congrats! this is an excellent idea!
Awesome contest
Im a filmmaker from Brazil and these type of gear is very difficult to find. It will be a huge help to continue doing movies. Trailer of the last one: http://www.vimeo.com/10990762
This contest is amazing; thanks to the sponsors for being so generous!
Marvelous web contest, perfect for my eos 5D mark II !!! Thanks !!!!
Fantastic web contest ! I love the Zacuto Z finder ^_^
Great contest! I’ve been wanting to break into DSLR film making since I bought my 7d, but I can’t afford the gear. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Wow, I want, I want…. Great contest! 🙂
I would like to win a prize beacuse we are trying to make a full movie no budget and the price to have them in Italy is crazy, about the double of buying them in the USA.
It will be usefull a cage or a shoulder rig…
well, it’s ok..
I would love a Zacuto or Letus loupe to complete my rig, cost me so much so far I can use the help. Or even a complete rig, I bought my brother out of the company, and now He has no rig, so I would give it to Him. Thanks.
I would love some new gear, because… you know, it’s all about storytelling ;o)
i dont even need a reason to get the material im that needy :@ hope to get something with this nothing post
OHHH MAN, I COULD SERIOUSLY USE ANY OF THIS STUFF… I HAVE A CAMERA AND LENS! w/ NOTHING ON IT… need a stabilizer REALLLLYY BAD! :/
would be amazing if i won one! 🙂
Hey,
I would like some new gear because I’ll soon be traveling to Uganda to create a documentary about child soldiers. This will be a dangerous, perhaps life threatening project, and I can’t imagine completing it without a Letus Hawk VF.
Thank you deeply,
Jeremy
Would love to win some gear for an upcoming project. It would add a lot to the project and help us with the production! Thanks.
I would love to win this. I’m a student and I’ve made a couple of simple short films with my 5Dmk2, and have now written my first longer fiction that I’m trying to save up money to make.
This would be an awesome help, and would truly help me get closer to make the film I need to create.
I would really love to win a rig from Jag35. I really need it in what I do. I travel a lot and would like to use my DSLR for documentary. With that rig it would be a lot easier.
Thanks
/Natanael
Thats cool! Would really help me with my upcoming project. 🙂
Best,
Halldor.
I would love to expand my gear package in order to perfect my footage, and improve my workflow.
Id love a chance to win some of this gear as I have never won so much as a game of bingo in my life!!!! Fingers are crossed!!!
Wow…. all this gear looks amazing…
meins!meins!meins!meins!meins!meins!meins!meins!
Hi Sebastian
I got my canon 550D / T2i last week (LOVE IT), but because i’m a film student i don’t have any money left to buy gear for it. it would really mean and help a lot to win some of this gear!!
Thanks for setting up the competition, you rock
Owen From Australia
I live in Jerusalem, Israel. I have been filming for about 4 years now and it is starting to take off. Some professional equipment to go with my 7D and living in the most mesmerizing and ancient place will hopefully produce some amazing work!
Without this gear you have to invest your creativity into working around your technical problems like unsteady camera, picture not in focus, dirt on lens and so on. But with this gear you have to face less of these everyday problems and you have more creativity left to spend into the storytelling of your movie…and that’s the real place were creativity has to be, I’m sure 🙂
This gear might just keep my sick grandma alive
I’d love to win this, I need to make more films
wanted to buy a 5D for a long time. finally i got a good price on ebay. or so i thought. behind the insert was a hungarian mafia organisation. my money(1600€) was gone and no 5D. had to draw from my education funds from my grandparents to get one form amazon. now iam pretty low on cash and in desperate need of eqip
greetings form Bonn Germany
Josh
I just moved back to the states from Israel and I am starting my own production company. I also have a wonderful wife and baby to take care of and I could use some gear to help me get off the ground. Thanks!
Would love some new gear as I just got started in the 7D world and have already done some work for clients but would love to see some new gear to make life a little bit easier! Amazing Contest 🙂
Why wouldnt I want to win these prizes….
Great contest! I’d love to get my hands on the Field Runner, such a rad name for a shoulder mount. It’d make my footage much smoother whilst on the move.
Thanks!
I would love to get some awesome gear because well it’s just freaking awesome!
I’m a freelance music photographer and videographer from Canada, and a bit of extra gear would help me to shoot more incredible images for the bands! 🙂
I need some new gear!!!!! Help a brother out! Plus, I have a fake mustache sitting approximately 18 inches away from me. Who else has that so readily available? Nobody.
Plus, without ME, your competition would just be Aweso….
I want to win because I’m too lazy to save up.
Great idea and contest! I was researching the Jag35 Field Runner shoulder rig and got to your page. Now I can win it! 🙂
I’d really love to run around any field to spy on a tuxedo-clad man holding an oh-too-white-and-beautiful woman on his side.
Well I didn’t win Jag35 Naming contest for this rig, although mine sounds more awesome but yeah I’ll be a Field Runner just the same 🙂
WOW, this would be a dream come true. This equipment would help my vision come to life.
My next purchase is going to be a shoulder mount, but I’ve tapped out what I’m willing to invest during the slow season here. Picking up that JAG35 shoulder mount would be awesome.
Man, I really could use some is this stuf.
GabbaGabbaHey!
I can haz geer?
Wow! This is an awasome give away! Hope I get something! Keep up the good work!
Free gear would be great, I just upgraded to Canon DSLR’s and need to get all my rigs upgraded as well. FINGERS CROSSED!
I am currently a student studying photography and video. I believe the gear will help me perfect the smallest details in my work, to bring it to the next level. Although gear does not make the artist, it definitely helps.
Hi! Thanks for this oportunity. Im from shoutamerica (Chile) and im a proud owner of a Canon 7D. Here we dont have where to buy any of this rig gadgets and also everything is very expensive por US. Im an independent filmaker who will very grateful with any of this products.
Of course my favorites are the JAG SHOULDER, THE GLIDETRACK, AND THE CAGE…
any way thanks a lot!
of course if a win, i will pay for the international SHIPPING!
I’d love some gear to help me push my creativity. My day job has me deflated!
Wow this is amazing. I’d love to win some of this gear which will help me to tell the stories and create music videos!!!! Fantastic!
winner
Grüß dich sebastian,
verfolge deinen blog schon länger und würd mich natürlich freuen auch mal etwas zu gewinnen. Vielen Dank und mach weiter so!
Johannes
You’ve got some great stuff to give away. Hope I’m one of the lucky few! Why do I deserve to win? Because I’m a poor freelancer who just broke the bank for a 7D, 50mm Zeiss Lens and Zacuto Target shooter and have none left over for a much needed Loupe after my LCDVF broke and the manufacturer won’t return my emails. Just goes to show you get what you pay for (except in the case of Jehu and the JAG35 guys who actually have low prices AND good customer service).
I’d like to win too!
Ooh pick me! 🙂
Great stuff.
i really hope to win this big competition to improve my creativity…..
I need some help with camera stabilization because my PVC DIY rig isn’t the best 🙁 Please send help!
I’m about to switch to 5d for my productions and i know this equipment would really help that transition.
oh my! you’re gonna make a lot of people happy. you should probably get producer credits to any projects made with your gear!
Because i just had to sell all my stuff to buy a 5D and its so bare, i could use cheering up 🙁
I’m a screenwriter turned first-time filmmaker. I want this gear because I need ALL the help I can get 🙂
I’m currently working on a film I shot in Hyderabad, India about woman/child healthcare among the poor and needy. I got a lot of great footage and I’m happy with the film as a whole, but I recognize that having a follow focus, loupe, and a rig to help with by hand-help shots (and why not some Zeiss glass!) will really help me productions in the future. Thanks for putting on these contests.
This i really amazing stuff. Congrats on the 5,000 mark!
I was trying to think of something interesting to say but then I realized, it is a random draw, so I gave up.
However I would love to have either one of the items listed above.
I always need more gear!
Great prize selection! There are so many essentials for making DSLR films.
Thanks for running the competition.
Wow, that is alot of stuff, mind telling us how you got so many sponsors to donate so much stuff to you?
I sure don’t mind taking some “donation”, because only people who have enough equipments can say “Equipments don’t matter”. No, really, come on, when is the last time you heard rich people complain because they’ve made a donation?
We are shooting a doc about hospice patients. The gear would be very helpful.
I just got a canon 7d and would love some of these accessories to experiment more with video!
Great contest! I win?
thank you !!!
That’s a great idea ! ! ! A Lottery.
I just need a bit luck rightnow, because someone stole my bike and in the same day i had flat tire on my car !
So you’re gone be my new hope in life.
Give me back my smile !
Greetings from Köln
Thank you for a generous giveaway! Lovely films — especially liked the “Ruins of Neideck Castle”. I know it’s not the gear that makes a great film, but it helps!! Thanks again.
Jeez I hope I win!
I like all of the equipment above, especially the shoulder rigs. Filming without some of this gear looks like amateur style.
Jan/Germany
7D… lovely, lonely… not sure what that means but it just does.
Wow! What a great competition! Very cool, Sebastian! Why I should win something? Because it seems like there aren´t many other germans in this competition right now and I think that one price should stay in Germany! 😉
Greetings, Thomas
OMG! I would looooove to win any of these! Holy moly! Not going to get my hands on any of this gear any time soon.
Thank you for holding this contest! Please send multiple prizes and cash to… 🙂
Wooh, this would be kickass! Awesome.
If you ever come to the States to give a workshop tour, swing through Nashville, man. A growing film community needs some guidance here!
cool prizes i want a shoulder rig
Honestly, I’ve always thought that gear does not make you a better photographer/videographer, and I’ve always liked to have a light footprint and be as self sufficient as possible…
These days I’m starting to see another point of view, getting involved with other people on different projects, such as a Zombie short that I just shot in the country (Australia), I’m starting to be more motivated by other peoples enthusiasm, and also having the right gear for professional looking results is SO important.
I was also inspired by one of your visual sequences ‘The Cave’ had just the right mood we were going for with the Zombie videoshoot. It encouraged me to buy a Tokina 11-16 2.8 and if you would be so kind as to contribute a Kessler Crane, I could finally make some elegant dolly shots that look so gorgeous on the 7D. Love your work.
Wow!!
What a great contest!! I would like to win the shoulder mount…
Best regards
This is amazing, thanks for everything.
Very cool stuff. This gear is fantastic!
I’ve just finished my first DSLR no-budget short realizing how much a gear like that would add to my film making.
best regards
Being a small, independent film/video production team, we realize how hard it is to get a hold of great equipment. We’re shooting with the Canon 5d now, but we realize that isn’t enough, and we already broke the bank on the camera! Help us out. 😀
Exciting to see a ton of great gear being given away. To me it represents the best of the DSLR movement, namely bringing high production value to the filmmakers without driving us into massive credit card debt! Thanks and hope to win something!
I’m an indie filmmaker and this gear would be fantastic for some upcoming shoots we have this summer.
Cool prizes.
Almost makes me want to join facebook.
Wow! Just a little beyond cool. I would love not only to win some gear, but to meet the wonderful person nice enough to do something like that for me. Dream come true!!! ’nuff said!! HA. I have never won anything!!!
Awesome idea! I love gear, especially in the form of a prize! 🙂
This is awesome! Cheers!
I would love to win this gear, really need a viewfinder, rig pretty much everything.
Great that your doing and sharing so much on your blog.Thanks man!
wowzers! that is some saweet gear!!
Think its great all the info you deliver
Awesome prize list! Thanks for running this competition.
Hey,
It is just some awesome stuff you want to give away and it be great to have one of these essentials for HDSLR filming so I dont have to work only with DIY stuff.
My documentary would benefit greatly by winning!
I’m Zack and I’m a film student in New York – This gear would really take my documentary films to the next level. No viewfinder + shooting outdoors = nightmare! Actually, it’s a daymare!
Keep tweeting!
-Zack
I just found your site via canonfilmmakers, and I look forward to following your content. Thank you.
Great contest! Love to see companies getting behind indie film makers…
I’d love to win one of the shoulder braces!!!
Ross from South Africa
nice gear – great job sebastian!
Congrats for 5000 fallowers !!
Nice prizes. Hope ti win some)
Wow.
I’m not really into gear and stuff like that, but seeing this makes me wanna have some of it really really bad.
Great stuff, great generosity,
Well lets see how far the gift can come away !
Greetings from far far away !
Fred
Great! I hope I can win some prize!!! =D.
My second name is 5000.
Chears!
Since I got the 7D to start working on hip hop films… ive been broke! Need some sweet accessories to pimp out my rig! If anyone needs music for their videos check out my website!
I quote Cleverson: My second name is 5001!
Pick me! Pick me!
Gratz on your 5000th mark.
This would be fantastic! i am currently unemployed and winning this would def help big time! 🙂
I’d love to win any of this gear because I own a 5D MkII and I’ve slowly been getting more and more into video. This stuff would help a lot!
i would love to be able to get my hands on this and create even more videos while cutting down on costs!
All of these prizes look awesome.
Winning this gear would help me become a more confident filmmaker, and allow me to produce something amazing.
I’ve done a few shoots now and I’ve realized how much a few of these items would make a world of difference. Now if I could only find the money…
it’s funny how everbody tries to thing of something, that would make their chances to win this stuff better.
Crossing my fingers!
Just about starting a german online magazine about filmmaking and the gear would definetely help me to create some professional looking content for my magazine and my blog.
My tool bag needs some tools.
Awesome comp. Thanks for your generosity!
Just bought a 7d. Planning on filming a no-budget feature film by the ned of the year and any gear would help greatly
i´d love to win gear cause i´m not able to buy it. poor students just have books and toasts.
I spent all my money on a camera and lens and have nothing else, plus it would be cool.
Sweet competition!
Hey,
Congrats on your goal of reaching 5000! Your at 1000 now, but you’ll get there soon enough! I’m an aspiring filmmaker, and just spent most of my money on my camera itself. Some sort of shoulder rig (especially the Night Hawk) would make film shoots much easier. Carrying around the tripod and be annoying and inconvenient. It’d be nice to have a shoulder rig for “run and gun”. I’m currently working on a short film for a film festival. The script is about 6 pages long. This gear would help me to better create this film, and greatly reduce production time. Thanks for hosting such a great contest, and congrats on 5k!
Thanks,
David
Thank you for the chance to win!
To a recent graduate and freelance cameraman, winning a contest like this would bring me one step closer to making all of my hard work and dreams come a little bit more into focus.
Dear Sebastian,
I have been following, watching, and learning from you since the day you previewed the PL mount 7D.
In the past 7 months with my 7D I went from kind of knowing my Canon G9 to understanding crazy things like 180 degree shutters, Shutter to Lighting Frequency (50-60Hz), and jumping into Aperture and Final Cut without any external help.
My only problem is getting gear for my 7D. I’m a student and could only afford getting a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 and a Sigma 30mm f/1.4 before running out of cash. I am eager to DIY stuff such as Ring Lights (which I am almost done with) and making my own rig. Solutions like the Zoom H1 for $99 delivering great audio for the price is making it easier for wannabe videographers like me but winning something for free completely beats anything else.
ANY of these prizes would help me or other people out and obviously I would like to win but I would also respect the win of others and love to see what they can create out of a gift. So hopefully this competition will end well and people will win their respectful prizes.
Thank you very much,
Philip Han
GODDAAMNN!!!
i would be thrilled to have any of these pictures metamorphise into my reality,
i cant believe one man can put on a compettion so good!
cameras are great and i like them alot, so i think you should consider enhancing my life and putting a smile on my face by chucking something my way to pimp out a 7d
you know it makes sense
🙂
much respect
I want to win these awesome equipment and gear because I simply dont have any great gear. This would definitely help me develop more videos, so i can inspire others on my vision. I am photographer but also do videography work as well. Nothing better, to win some great gear and put it to work!!!!
Wow what a proper bo giveaway !
You’re giving us guys in the trenches hope of improving our lot 🙂 I’d LOVE to win the Jag35 Shoulder Rig, as I built mine myself out of aluminium bars. It’s heavy, it’s fiddly and yellow and black are my home cities colours !! lol
I would love to win some of that fantastic gear;)
/Kristoffer
Thank you Sebastian! What a great prize and competition.
Woo! Great prizes and all!
HAving any of this gear would really help in progressing to higher reaches of photography.
Why wouldn’t I want to win any of this outstanding gear?!
I am soooo glad I found out about this competition! this is an amazing opportunity and whoever wins a prize should be grateful forever!!!
thank you for giving us this amazing chance!
Greatest competition ever..
You are truly inspiring sebastian!
I got robbed and lost most of my equipment during a job.. (im not gonna dramatize much it was my canon t2i and several other cams, but still money is money) this could help me go further with what i want to do.. ill buy a 7d now (dont want to feel bad if i buy a second t2i so ill just go ahead and upgrade) so buying that will keep me a bit short on money to get great equipment.
This is my reason..
thank you for this sebastian…
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu deinen mittlerweile weit über 5000 Followern! 😉
Jo Sebastian,
thanks for the opportunity to win some new toys! 😉
Happy Days
Danny
Hey there I’m just starting my photo / video businesses and would love to win some equipment! Thanks for holding this contest!
Wish me luck.
Fantastic gear that could help any filmmaker excell
Nun habe ich mein Glück versucht und ordentlich getaggt, was noch frei war 😉 Great idea to create such a contest … hopefully to win the gear i like for your next workshop – that would be the beginning of digital filming. Now you got your 5000 – GREAT JOB!! Danlo
Great giveaways I could certainly benefit from .
Great giveaways! I’d like to win because I simply don’t own any of that gear, or anything like it. Would definitely be quite useful.
i want them all :p
So you know how professionals with tons of great gear always say you don’t need the great gear to make great movies. Well how about someone that has no gear at all… I have a phone video camera, that works when it wants to, uses a strange codec that I just recently found a tool to convert (thank you handbrake), and let’s just say doesn’t look great, even with good composition. I also own two flip cameras, which after recent software updates have a total of 12 minutes of film recording between them, ha. Oh, and I have a great editing suite (FCP) because I do a lot of editing for other people’s footage. So I’ve been doing a ton of freelancing lately in top of a 9-5 job (which is more like 8-7) to earn some cash for a new HDSLR camera and some of the basic gear (memory card, extra battery, one solid lens, possibly a tripod). So that’s why I know I could use the gear you’re giving away. That and I’ve already tweeted about the contest, ha.
must win…please win…love your work!
The Easom Optics DSLR Cage looks amazing! Gives the shooter several options for building on the rig … kool
‘J-dog
My name is also Sebastian after all…
I need many of these tools, you choose one for me… 🙂
I am an incredibly poor film student who only just managed to buy myself the camera. I’m shooting my graduate film this year and need as much equipment as i can get my hands on, so this competition is a really great one for me.
Recently bought my first DSLR and with a trip already booked for Italy for the fall, some extra gear would go a long way.
This is my Beyond The Still Episode 4 Entry – http://vimeo.com/11543830
I couldn’t afford a Hoodman Loupe or Zacuto so I pulled my own focus with this – http://www.shackpics.com/viewer.x?file=pillbottlereaderJPG_bcnb8n93wpa1adpdqxux.jpg
I also pulled focus with just my hand on the lens. I used a noga arm hanging off a red rock shoulder mount to free float the camera in front of my face. I did purchase an overpriced heavily used Red Rock Micro follow focus which broke in half while being stored in my luggage flying. My current setup also has no counter balance weight. People wonder why I stand there sweating and panting for air holding a tiny HD-SLR!
I’ve now spent close to a year saving up while working on a script for a short film. I work as an AC/PA and Avid editor in Texas and frankly I can’t afford the equipment needed to produce the short. I’ve learned to make sacrifices and find unique solutions to deal with low budget projects and I’ve been greatly inspired by members of the communities online suffering from the same obstacles. Sure when I get older I’ll be able to afford to shoot a low budget short but by then I won’t be able to justify spending months upon months on a non-paid project. I want to make this short now and I need the tools. The digital revolution has occurred and this contest will enable one film maker to be given the tools to attempt something great. I truly hope whoever wins this contest goes onto make something we can all see and be greatly inspired by.
could really really use some DSLR gear!!!!
Thanks
because i´m the 400 comment on this blogpost
and i spend my last money on a 5d markt 2 and now i have no money for such cool gadgets

It tasted a fraction bawdy, but that’s a little trade-off looking for belief more at peace. I’m looking step up to seeing how it helps in the great run.
