Jon changes his camera setup and buys a Panasonic GH5.
Resently he seems to have been using Leica Q, Sony A7S II or Sony a7R II which by the way is a 42MP full frame mirrorless camera with 5-axis image stabilization.
10:25 “Lens wise you already know that I love this super long lens. 100 to 400, 200 to 800 on like normal say Sony numbers. Love that thing, yeah you got that. Then we have the 7 to 14, light, super wide, not the radest lens but it’s cool to have wide shoots some times. We have the 42.5. These are Leica lenses that are made for the Panasonic.” – Jon Olsson
//One of his lenses is Panasonic, and the others seems to be Leicas in this video //
“And then we have the 12” //Leica //
Benji: “On this guy”, //the one they’re filming with.//
“[...] If I were to pick one camera and have one camera only it be the GH5 without even like hesitating for a second. I think this camera blows the Sony A7S2 and A7R2 out of the water.” – Jon Olsson

Finding a affordable, lightweight fluid head is not easy. I've done a lot of research and ended right back where I startet. Getting a cheap (good enough) video tripod. Right now I'm thinking about getting a Velbon videomate 638.
I've gathered some information below.

Magnus VT-300 Video Tripod with Fluid Head
Looks pretty much like Kingjoy VT-1500
which looks pretty much like the...
Velbon videomate 638, (see video further down)
Cost about 80 US dollar.
"The Velbon Videomate 638/F Aluminum Tripod is a 4.37 lbs camera support with a fluid pan-and-tilt head. It can reach a maximum height of 5.61ft with the geared center column fully extended and it has a minimum working height of 4.54ft. This portable tripod folds down to 26.38". The Videomate 638 will support a maximum of 8.82 lbs. This is an ideal tripod for today's lightweight video cameras."
Which looks pretty much like the... Velbon videomate 638
More Velbon Review:
Other recommeded tripods
Velbon DV-7000 (has mostly good reviews, but Nitsan does not think the head works for heavier cameras (DSLR), he likes the legs though. He suggest using another head. Legs open wide = more stable.)
95% of the parts are metal.
Cheap plastic leg-fasteners will break off with heavy-use
Max 4,5 kg
Best cheap fluid head video tripod (£80) - Velbon DV-7000 review
FC-02H head (75mm Bowl Mount). Although these heads may provide smooth movements, keep in mind that bowl mounts are not the ones that make it easy for you to remove and use on Sliders.
Here's what I'd go with to do that on a budget:
Velbon dv7000 tripod and head
Konova stability arm
Jie Yang jy0506 head
Fancier, Weifeng and E-image are the same company.
Other companies buy from them and sometimes add their own names to it. like cowboystudio or varavon.
Smaller tripod
Varavon Baby T1 (hihat tripod)
Flat head
Varavon 815fh head (same as this but confirmed by varavon that it's now made with the better oil) (flat mount = you can use on slider)
Libec TH-X Head and Tripod System
A little more expensive but seams like a smart base, with 65 mm bown and still mountable on a slider.
Heat the 3/4 " over a fire or something hot for a couple of seconds so you can get the
skateboard bearing into it and get a nice fit.
BE CAREFUL HEATING PVC PIPE! IF IT BURNS IT IS HIGHLY TOXIC
Drill 1/4 hole into, make sure not to drill into the skateboard bearing.
Next, drill 1/4 inch holes into the coupling ring and also 5/16 holes (bigger) goeing through each side.
Then drill 5/16 holes into the 2" pipe, 3 holes for an optional handle.
Aluminium bar and bend it by hand or other light material. Drill 5/16 inch holes in either sides. And one in the middle
Next thread in some 1/4 bolts into the 3/4 inch and put nuts on eather sides.
Finally add som 5/16 bolts through the 2 " pvc pipe. Add on an optional handle if you
choose to.
It's hard to keep up with the Camera gear that Jon uses, but here he complements the Red camera with a great lens...
Jon Olsson buys a Sigma 18-35 mm f/1,8 DC HSM Art in Tokyo (APS-C lens).
They are buying for the Red camera.
6:00
Jon: ”I think for us it’s the perfect lens.”
Markus: “It is.”
Jon: “And we’ve been debating since we got the Red, we should have gotten it right away.”
