Certainly the best work will come from using
the same camera supports used with any other video or movie camera:
tripods with fluid heads, dolly and track, cranes, steadi-cams,  
glidecams, etc.
along with after market follow focus controls, full audio upgrades, etc.
All of which make the cameras the least expensive piece of the kit.

The great plus of the full 35 mm frame digital video lies with the  
lenses which,
for the first time, put the "look" of 35 mm movies in the hands of  
videographers.
This has been the holly grail search for decades.
