Hey guys,

OK so when building a rig for car shots, the poles used, is it better to get thicker heavier poles, or lighter thinner ones?

In my head the thicker heavier ones should be more stable (less wobble), and lighter ones being weaker may flex more.


However, I've also been informed that the weight of the camera itself should be lighter rather than heavier.


I've already sourced everything for my own kit, and will be working with a mate with his kit soon. Just want to get my head around all the equipment first! Poles are my only question at the moment.
