Am I paying the price for a budget lens, is this initial stiffness normal? Anything I can do about it?

I think the reality is you're paying the price for shooting video on a platform that was designed for still photography.  I don't know how stiff is "stiff" but most likely your lens is normal.  I rarely use my DSLR for video because, like you, I have a dedicated video camera that I feel does a much better job of video recording when all things are considered.
