BMC- Shopping list

[DDirector]

I finally believe I have settled on the right camera for me.
With Global Shutter, 4K Raw, at an affordable price, the BMC seems to be the best choice. All I need to do is wait until its available and I hear a few reviews and then purchase it for myself.

But, before I even consider buying it, I need to make sure that the shopping list I have going is correct and the best it could be. Also making sure that nothing is missing.
This is what I came up with:

1) Blackmagic 4K Production Camera

2) Ikan IB-LD160S V-Mount Battery (160Wh) - (4x)
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/903305-REG/ikan_IB_LD160S_Professional_Battery_with.html
-Is 4 of these batteries sufficient enough for the BMC or is it too much or too little? Its either I buy 2 or 4. And I thought 4 would be safer.
-Approximately how long would one of these batteries last?

3) Movcam Battery Bracket & Converter
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...MOV_306_0209_BATTERY_BRACKET_FOR_V_MOUNT.html
Provides 12v D-tap, 12v, 12v, 7.2v, 5v Lemo output.

4) BMC D-Tap Power Cable
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/918778-REG/zacuto_pt_bm_zac_18_right_angle_d_tap.html
-I believe this one will be fine to power the camera

5) SanDisk Extreme 480GB SSD - (2x)
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/977626-REG/sandisk_2_x_sandisk_extreme.html
-Are two 480Gb SSD's enough for the BMC when shooting 4K RAW or too much?
-Approx how many minutes would I be able to record?

6) SmallHD AC7
http://store.smallhd.com/Store/AC7-SDI-OLED-Field-Monitor
I dont plan on buying this unless needed, but Im not too sure how great the rear monitor is.
-How is the rear monitor, do I NEED an external monitor?
-How is it in daylight/outdoors?

7) Cineroid EVF-4RVW
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/894123-REG/Cineroid_EVF4RVW_with_Retina_Display.html
I dont plan on buying this unless needed, but Im not too sure how great the rear monitor is.



Is this all the essential stuff I need? Am I missing anything?
*I already know which baseplate, rods, mattebox, lenses I'd be needing.

If this is a good, I can calculate my budgeting and save up.
Hopefully I dont need extra gear and cost me more money, or I may not be able to get it

Computer fast enough to handle the raw workflow. Fast Thunderbolt raid to handle all that footage. Proper video card which supports DaVinci color correction. Calibrated broadcast monitor fed by native support card so you can accurately grade your raw footage into something presentable. Backup solution for the main edit raid.

I can only suggest you get a monitor with a built in waveform monitor. The SmallHD does not have it. You might want to consider Marshall or possibly ikan.
