Here's a my kit with all the parts laid out, works for me, may not work for you. Hope this helps. (The mic shown is a Senn 8060 with the MZF 8000 filter)

A7Sii rig with the iRig. Allows me to use my high-end shotgun mic. Awesome audio without the unwieldy bulk and weight of XRL-K1M, preamp or separate recorder.

I am new to the A7S series, so I am perplexed by some if its quirks/bugs. Custom white balancing with a grey card on my camera does not seem to be accurate. It could be off by as much as 3,000K for daylight and 1,000K for artificial lights. Here's a situation...My light meter, which I consider...

Here you go...no fuss, simple pistol-whipping A7SII rigging for run and gun docos.

It's mounted to the tripod plate via the SB tripod foot to take pressure off the camera mount. For quick guerrilla grab shots, I attach an R-strap to the GH4 and shoot handheld without any gear, just with the Rode mic. I don't use the follow focus you see here, it's only for show. I balance and...

I shoot handheld all the time have the Sigma 18-35 Nikon F and the Speed Booster and it works great. You will get used to the combined weight, the lens being heavier then the camera itself, but no problems with the mount.

The Monfortto is rated for 11 lbs and is perfect for my GH4 setup, which I make as light as possible. I shed any unnecessary weight that could slow me down. Last thing I need is a heavy tripod and head. The Monfortto head and Induro carbon legs in this setup is very light. I can slide in longer...

Question for Metabones Speed Booster Nikon - m43 users out there. Just got one and found it difficult to judge F-stop using the aperture control ring. How do you get a precise aperture opening/reading on a lens like the Sigma 18-35? Is it all just guessing work?

Very interesting nuanced experience by FCP X editors. Refreshing to read because it's not the usual rant either for or against FCPX. http://philipbloom.net/2012/02/07/fcpxeditors/

The GH2 produces a pretty good picture out of the box, but it looks like the VK hack will make it an amazing awesome little camera. I wonder if the new patches hold up, how the GH2vk will compare to the AF-100? EDIT: Vitaliy Kiselev posted the new GH2 hack Ptool v3.61d for "vastly improved...
